The United States has slapped former army general Ansleem Sanyatwe with sanctions for human rights violations during the 1 August 2018 violence where soldiers shot and killed six people while 35 were injured.
Sanyatwe who headed the Presidential Guard at tee time, was put in charge of a Millitary unit sent to respond to violence that broke out in Harare over delayed release of the 2018 election results.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently retired Sanyatwe from the army and appointed him a Zimbabwe's ambassador to Tanzania.
"No one has been held accountable for these heinous acts. The people of Zimbabwe deserve better," said the US through its Embassy in Harare.
