What Reverend Mmoja Ajabu misses in his letter () to the editor is that Government Ministers in Zimbabwe have publicly said that the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe are a non-event. The West is imposing sanctions so that ZANU [PF] governs the people of Zimbawe democratically. I am sure in the end democracy will prevail in Zimbabwe.The reverend should also know that ZANU [PF] blames the MDC for sanctions in order to divert the people of Zimbabwe from the real issues.
