MDC-T says Zimbabwe must devise ways to bust sanctions

MDC-T national executive member and Hatfield legislator Mr Tapiwa Mashakada yesterday conceded that there were sanctions imposed by the West on Zimbabwe and Harare should devise ways to bust them and move forward.

The statement is a climb down from his party's position which has for a long time denied that there were economic sanctions on Zimbabwe, preferring to call them "restrictive measures", a term that had been equally used by the European Union and the United States who imposed the illegal sanctions.

Mashakada said this in the National Assembly while moving a motion on calling the Government to address macroeconomic fundamentals.
