The United States of America has introduced a new sanctions regime on that will punish individuals involved in election management and the judiciary for allegedly suppressing opposition during elections.

The measure, dubbed a visa restriction, is likely to elicit a strong response from Harare, as it amounts to interference in local processes. Already, the US has sanctions in place against Zimbabwe aimed at institutions and individuals that allegedly undermine democracy and commit human rights abuses.

The opposition has over the years complained about rigged elections and uneven playing field, including alleged compromised institutions of electoral management and the courts.

And, on Monday, the US Secretary of State obliged by announcing “a new visa restriction policy for undermining democracy in Zimbabwe”.

The punitive measures will immediately apply to those fingered in the elections held last August.

“Under this policy, the United States will pursue visa restrictions, pursuant to Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, for individuals believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Zimbabwe,” Blinken said in a statement.

“Such acts may include manipulating or rigging the electoral process; disenfranchising voters or preventing individuals from exercising their right to vote; excluding members of the political opposition from electoral processes; restricting the ability of civil society organizations (CSOs) to operate and engage in democratic, governance, or human rights related activities; or intimidation of voters, election observers, or CSOs through threats or acts of physical violence.

“They may also include engaging in corrupt acts, including bribery, that undermine the electoral process; interfering with the independent operation of the judiciary during its adjudication of electoral cases; or abusing or violating human rights in Zimbabwe.”

Ex-CBZ manager ordered to pay US$82k

By Judith Nyuke
Court Correspondent
Former senior manager at CBZ Bank and seasoned banker, Norman Sambaza, has been ordered to pay US$82,000 after failing to settle the debt two years ago.

This decision by the High Court came after Sambaza failed to defend himself against the claim filed by one Damascus Tazvitya Mabeka. In response to the judgement, Sambaza lodged an application to halt its ex*****on.

However, Justice Happias Zhou rejected the application after ruling that it was solely designed to postpone the payment to the creditor.

“More than two and a half years later the applicant has not paid a cent.

“There can be no real and substantial justice in staying ex*****on in these circumstances where the substance of the claim is not being disputed…

“The conduct of the applicant after the granting of the default judgment betrays an entire want of care.

“He does not expect the court to accept his version that from 2 March 2023 (or whenever it was that he had last communicated with his legal practitioners) he never checked on the progress of the case for more than six months only to be reminded about the case by the service of the writ of ex*****on,” read part of the judgment.

The case originated from a lawsuit filed by Mabeka against Sambaza, seeking payment of a debt amounting to US$82,280, plus interest.

Mabeka also requested a court order declaring a specific immovable property, known as stand 980 Strathaven, as specially executable.

The case was scheduled for a pre-trial conference on March 2, 2023. However, Sambaza did not attend the conference, even though his legal representative was present.

After the default, a court order was issued in favor of Mabeka who caused a writ to be issued.

The writ and the attachment of an immovable property compelled Sambaza to file the current application.

Sambaza gained notoriety as he grabbed the headlines sometime in 2017 after assaulting his wife and children over a sadza dispute.
