<p>The lobbyist firm hired by the Mnangagwa government to lobby for the lifting of sanctions on Zimbabwe by the US government has said that the US needs to have closer relations with Zimbabwe or risk the Chinese doing so.</p>
<p>James Rubin, the lead lobbyist with Ballard Partners (the firm) said to a US publication, Politico. Here’s an excerpt of the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>James Rubin, the lead Ballard lobbyist working for Zimbabwe and a former State Department official in the Clinton administration, said the firm’s lobbyists thought carefully before agreeing to represent the country. While the country’s new leadership has made mistakes, including a crackdown on demonstrators in January that reportedly killed at least 17 people, “it is far, far better than Zimbabwe’s government was under Mugabe,” Rubin said.</p>
<p>Ballard will work “to encourage a re-examination of Zimbabwe by the State Department with a view to establishing the best possible bilateral relationship with the United States and facilitating the restoration of Zimbabwe’s membership in good standing in the community of nations,” according to the firm’s contract.</p>
<p>“I’d rather they work with us than with the Chinese, who don’t care at all about human rights,” Rubin said.</p></blockquote>

"I’d rather they work with us than with the Chinese," ED's Lobbyist Appeals To US Gov

<p>Political analyst Rashweat Mukundu said the Zimbabwean government does not need to hire a United States (US) firm to help in the removal of sanctions.</p>
<p>This comes after government engaged prominent public relations firm Ballard Partners in a $500 000 per year deal. Mukundu said Zimbabwe needs to implement reforms clearly spelt out in the Zidera sanctions document for sanctions to be removed. Said Mukundu:</p>
<blockquote><p>They include the respect for human rights, they include realignment of our laws with the Constitution, respecting the democratic norms, security sector reforms that remove the overbearing role of the military in our politics, which often results in our military clashing with civilians. So, for me these are actions that can easily be done without the need of hiring any company for so much money which we need in Zimbabwe for critical public services like hospitals, servicing our debt and in agriculture. So, essentially this is a waste of resources over something that the Zimbabwean government can easily do on its own. This is essentially kicking the can down the road.</p></blockquote>

<p>In an interview with VOA, Zimbabwe’s information secretary Nick Mangwana defended the US$500,000 deal with a United States-based firm to lobby for the removal of targeted sanctions against top Zanu PF officials.</p>
<p>Zimbabwe has engaged Brian Ballard who is linked to US President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign and his 2020 re-election bid. Ballard’s mission is to have targeted sanctions on 141 individuals and entities in Zimbabwe removed. Mangwana told VOA Studio 7 that Zimbabwe will do anything to have sanctions removed. Said Mangwana:</p>
<blockquote><p>The current illegal sanctions regime loses Zimbabwe a lot of business, retards development and also comes with other social costs … We will do everything in our power to have them removed.</p></blockquote>

Govt Defends $500,000 Deal With U.S Company Lobbying For Sanctions Removal

<p>Former United States Ambassador to Zimbabwe Bruce Wharton has said President Mnangagwa’s administration is wasting money by hiring Donald Trump’s fundraiser Brian Ballard.</p>
<p>Zimbabwe’s Foreign Minister Sibusiso Moyo signed a contract with Ballard Partners to represent Zimbabwe in Washington, making it the first firm to lobby on the country’s behalf in more than a decade The contract entails $150,000 quarterly installments through February 2020. Speaking on Twitter, Wharton said there will be no change in United States policy towards Zimbabwe. Said Wharton:</p>
<blockquote><p>Tragic waste of public funds. The return of investment here is likely a negative–no change in U.S. policy (presumably what they hope to buy) and a further decline in the Government of Zimbabwe/ZANU-PF’s credibility on real reform.</p></blockquote>

Hiring Trump Lobbyist Waste Of Money- Former US Ambassador To Zim
