The Americans have added Registrar General, Tobaiwa
Mudede of the list of Zimbabweans on the sanctions list for his role in
withholding the voters roll from the opposition and Zimbabwe public.
To this day, the Mugabe regime is yet to release the
voters roll; the smoking gun in the rigged elections.
Mugabe blamed Zimbabwe's economic collapse on the targeted
sanctions until the stories of rampant corruptions started breaking out. Mugabe
has always denied that there was no corruption; the stories have proven beyond
doubt that Mugabe was lying but worse still the extent of the corruption has
shown that corruption was the real cause of Zimbabwe's economic melt-down.
How could a company like ZESA, for example, thrive when
millions of dollars of its revenue were being sucked away to pay the huge
salaries and allowance of top managers!

• I agree, we are all sick and tired of writing, talking and reading about corruption, mismanagement and political repression. We have been at it for 34 years and things have got progressively worse, not better!
Still, you and me know you will be back at it; writing, talking, reading and thinking about corruption, the economic melt-down, etc. because economic hardships are like a headache, no one can ever get used to or can they be ignored.
What we need is to take our concerns one gear up; we must talk and write about corruption and political repression with the view on making meaningful changes and not to be content stating historic facts! We must now aim to shape the country's future and let corrupt and incompetent ruling elite ruin everything for us.

I do not think Tobaiwa Mudede has much in he form of assets in Zimbabwe muh less in America. As for Makarau, I do not think she too has much either. Think of Mudede and Makarau as nothing more than those blacks who hunted their fellow blacks and old them as slaves for a piece of calico cloth and a handful of beads! The sanctions are more symbolic than anything else; they help to remind u all that the vote rigging was high treason!
The sanctions should be revisited with a view of making them bite. It is clear that Mugabe does not know what to do to stop the mismanagement, corruption and lawlessness at the heart of the country's economic nightmare. The one thing we can all be 100% certain of is that he will never admit that he has failed and give up power. It is not in the DNA of tyrants to give up power. Tightening the sanctions and make them bite is one way of forcing him to give up power!
"Our hope is for more economic ties with more economic blocs in Africa, Europe and else-where. The whole [EU-Africa summit] debacle does little to inspire confidence that Zimba-bwe won't use its leadership to settle scores at the expense of the continent," a senior dip-lomat from Tanzania said this week.
SADC and the AU should have never turned their backs on the ordinary people in Zimbabwe when Mugabe rigged the 2013 elections. By endorsing Mugabe’s vote rigging they all welcomed him back in the fold and now they are going to pay the price. Of course Mugabe will use his position in SADC and the AU to insult the West at every opportunity. The West will have no choice but to hit back and cut back its dealing with Zimbabwe, SADC and the AU just to get at Mugabe.
