Hans Guenter Gnodkte, Germany Ambassador to Zimbabwe, on Tuesday said German and the European Union (EU) will not consider total removal of sanctions before free and fair elections are held.
Gnodkte who was speaking to journalists in Masvingo, after donating literature books to Great Zimbabwe University, said Germany was very optimistic about reforms underway and remained committed in the country's development programmes.
"I don't want to speak about travel restrictions because thus not what I came here to do but in brief, I am sure there will be no removal of those travel bans before a free and fair election is held in Zimbabwe," said Gnodkte.
