Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The United States of America Monday announced it was adding four Zimbabwean people, including the son of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, to the sanctions list.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Treasury Department also announced it was hitting two companies with penalties for their roles in undermining democracy and facilitating high-level corruption.<\/p>\n

Those sanctioned include Emmerson Mnangagwa, Jr<\/b>., who is said to have been in charge of his father\u2019s business interests related to a prominent businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei<\/b> and his Sakunda Holdings company.<\/p>\n

The sanctions freeze any assets the targets may have in U.S. jurisdictions and bar Americans from doing business with them. In a statement seen by Pindua News, the Treasury said:<\/p>\n

We urge the Zimbabwean government to take meaningful steps towards creating a peaceful, prosperous, and politically vibrant Zimbabwe, and to address the root causes of many of Zimbabwe\u2019s ills: corrupt elites and their abuse of the country\u2019s institutions for their personal benefit.<\/p>\n

The goal of sanctions is behaviour change.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s actions demonstrate our support for a transparent and prosperous Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

In addition to Mnangagwa, Monday\u2019s sanctions target Tagwirei\u2019s wife, Sandra Mpunga; Nqobile Magwizi, and Obey Chimuka, along with the two companies, Fossil Agro and Fossil Contracting.<\/p>\n

All of them are connected to Tagwirei and Sakunda Holdings.<\/p>\n

The Treasury Department added that the sanctions demonstrate the United States\u2019 continued commitment to act in support of a transparent and prosperous Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

It also said that U.S. sanctions do not target the Zimbabwean people, the country of Zimbabwe, or Zimbabwe\u2019s banking sector.<\/p>\n
