With #ZASM removing US executive order sanctions on Zimbabwe, the US will only charge Zimbabwe 15% tariff for exports to the US. With Zimbabwe’s manufacturing sector being the biggest contributor to GDP, we should take advantage of this.Tendaiwo maZimba! We are fixing the country. #TheFixer.

#ZASM successfully removed sanctions on Zimbabwe because of mobilising Presidents, SADC, the US Congress, the UN, Congress, Human Rights lawyers, humanitarian activist and documentary producers. To achieve this, we spoke at endless conferences and events.

THANKS TO ZASM, CORRESPONDING BANKING RELATIONS ARE RETURNING As a means of depoliticizing the sanctions fight, #ZASM lobbied for the UNHRC to come to Zimbabwe and measure the negative impact of western sanctions on the country. In turn, the UNHRC came and declared western sanctions on Zimbabwe illegal and violations of human rights. On the back of the UNHRC declaration, ZASM began suing South African-based banks for discriminating and implementing illegal western sanctions on Zimbabweans, without trial. Thirteen months on, nine new #CorrespondingBanking relationships have been signed this year alone, with Standard Bank and Bidvest forming new US-dollar corresponding banking relationships with CABS, while Steward Bank formed another with FNB. On financial markets, ABSA and Standard Bank have loaned the Zimbabwean government US$193 million to build hospitals. And all this is happening after 22 years of global banks derisking from Zimbabwe and canceling 108 corresponding banking relationships with Zimbabwe over that period. Just in 2021, Deutsche Bank cancelled its relationship with Stanbic Bank, while all South African commercial banks, notified the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in 2019, that from 2020, they would no longer give the RBZ US dollar notes. Notwithstanding, 13 months into the #ZASMvsUSAandSABanks case, the same banks are coming back to restore US-dollar corresponding bank relations and lending the Zimbabwean government US dollar loans, without fear of OFAC penalties, asset confiscation, criminal prosecution by the US or FATF penalties. That is a huge breakthrough in the fight against sanctions, and it’s not coincidental. It has been catalyzed by ZASM’s legal case against banks in South African courts. The Standard Bank situation, has been advanced by ZASM writing to the Chinese government, which is the biggest shareholder in Standard Bank, asking them to stop their bank from implementing illegal U.S. sanctions on an ally (Zimbabwe). These are the results of years of behind the scenes work, without much support from those who are now benefiting. Our insanity is now paying off.

@matinyarare & @simbachitando does the law of precedent also apply in this judgement? Can #ZASM use this judgement to strengthen our case against US sanctions on Zimbabwe?

#ZASM’s Matinyarare & Chitando are the first Africans to take USA to court for sanctions. We have the U.S. response (under oath) to the type of sanctions they have on Zim. We also hold evidence from RBZ & government on the type of sanctions affecting Zim. We are the experts.

#ZASM is happy to see that Zim banks, after losing 102 corresponding relationships are forging new relations with foreign banks, under sanctions. We believe that #ZASMvsSAbanks case & anti-sanctions activism, are influencing SA banks to stop racial discrimination of Zim banks.

We have just received news that the #BCCSA has granted #ZASM leave to appeal in the #ZASMvsSABC case. We appreciate the brave decision reached by the Chairperson #DrSunnetteLotter, to review her pervious ruling. Can someone pass this to #PeterNdoro, he has blocked ZASM account.

As Chairman of #ZASM, I am joined by #SimbaChitando, our Spokesperson & Advocate, in writing a letter of thanks to the #SAPresident, #ANC and #DIRCO, for heeding our lobby to pressure the US President to remove Zim sanctions, which displace refugees into SA & SADC. Thank you SA!

@PresidencyZA, as #ZASM, we express our gratitude to YOU, @MYANC and @DIRCO_ZA for condemning illegal sanctions on Zim and asking Biden to remove these crimes against humanity upon our people, to stem the refugee crisis in the region. May we collaborate more in fighting sanctions

#ZASM, #ZimbabweAntiSanctionsMovement’s role is to fight illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe by fighting economic exclusion, the decampaigning of Zim in the media and the suppression of Zimbabwean rights to free trade, free movement and right to work. #ZASM defends Zimbabwean humanity!
