Zanu PF National Chairman, Cde Simon Khaya Moyo says illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the west have hurt the country's ordinary citizens and destroyed industry.
Cde Moyo said despite the fact that the West and its allies' claim that illegal sanctions are targeted at a few people, it is the ordinary people, industry and the country's ability to fuel its economy that have been affected badly.
The west imposed illegal sanctions when Zimbabwe embarked on a historic land reform programme that sought to transfer land from 4 000 minority white farmers to a majority 300 000 indigenous black Zimbabweans.
The 2011 Agricultural season is set to be the apex of the land reform programme with experts predicting a bumper harvest set to usher in a new era in Zimbabwe's food production.
