The European Union (EU) has extended sanctions on Zimbabwe by one year as it pushes Harare to implement democratic reforms and uphold human rights.
In <a href="https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/02/28/zimbabwe-statement-by-the-high-representative-on-behalf-of-the-european-union/">a statement</a> issued on 28 February 2023, the EU said the “restrictive measures” are in the form of an “arms embargo and targeted assets freeze against one company, Zimbabwe Defence Industries”.
Pindula News presents the statement below:
<blockquote>
<h2>Zimbabwe: Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union</h2>
The European Union (EU) reiterates its ambition to continue developing a more constructive relationship with Zimbabwe.
The EU welcomes the intention of Zimbabwe’s President to extend an invitation to the EU to deploy an Electoral Observation Mission for the 2023 Elections once constitutional processes have been finalised. 
The EU follows closely the process leading up to the elections, which are of great importance to the trajectory of the country. 
The EU encourages all electoral stakeholders, state and non-state alike, to play their role in ensuring the organisation of a credible and peaceful electoral process. 
The EU Election Observation Mission of 2018 provided a set of recommendations and encourages actors to continue improving the electoral framework to allow for credible, inclusive and transparent elections.
The EU welcomes the recent launch of the dialogue platform related to arrears clearance and debt resolution process and looks forward to tangible progress in this process. 
Furthermore, the EU welcomes Zimbabwe’s engagement on the Universal Periodic Review process, the alignment of legislation with the 2013 Constitution, the enactment of the Independent Complaints Commission Act, the new Marriages Act and the High-Level Political Compact on gender-based violence. Other developments are of concern from a democratic and civic space perspective. 
These include the Data Protection Act and, if enacted, bills such as the Private Voluntary Organisations Amendment Bill and the envisaged “patriotic provisions” in the Criminal Law Amendment Bill. 
The EU also maintains its concerns that the recommendations of the Motlanthe Commission of Inquiry have not been followed substantially and the perpetrators of violations which occurred in August 2018 and January 2019 are to date still enjoying impunity from prosecution. 
It is important that international human rights obligations are adhered to and the constitutional rights of the people of Zimbabwe respected.
In view of all the above, in its 2023 revision of the restrictive measures, the EU has decided to extend by one year the two measures in place (i.e.: the arms embargo and targeted assets freeze against one company, Zimbabwe Defence Industries). 
Since February 2022 there are no listed individuals. The EU will continue to closely follow developments, with a particular attention to the human rights situation and recalls its readiness to adapt the whole range of its policies accordingly.
The remaining restrictive measures in place do not affect the people of Zimbabwe, its economy, foreign direct investments, or trade. 
Zimbabwe continues to benefit from duty free and quota free access of its exports to the EU, while negotiations are ongoing to deepen the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) Economic Partnership Agreement. 
There is significant potential in terms of investments and job opportunities, provided that the Government promote political and economic reforms, facilitate a conducive and more predictable business environment, tackle corruption and foster respect for human rights and the rule of law.
Together with EU members states the EU will continue to support Zimbabwe’s National Development Strategy 1 in particular on (i) Gender equality and women empowerment and (ii) Greener and climate smart agriculture, with over €400 million until 2025. 
The EU commits itself to enhancing common efforts on addressing climate change on the basis of the Zimbabwean and EU commitments at COP27. The EU will continue to support the Zimbabwean people with humanitarian assistance, when needed.
The EU looks forward to a more comprehensive and constructive article 8 political dialogue in Harare, including on international issues, and more opportunities for high-level meetings. 
A positive example was the recent mission to Harare from the EU Special Representative for Human Rights.

FULL TEXT: European Union Statement On Extension Of Sanctions On Zimbabwe

State arms manufacturer, the Zimbabwe Defence Industries (ZDI) has been granted a special permit to export raw lithium by the government.
ZDI, which has a vast investment portfolio in mining got approval to export lithium in October last year, according to <a href="https://www.theindependent.co.zw/local-news/article/200006070/zdi-gets-permit-to-export-raw-lithium">The Independent</a>.
<h2>Context:</h2>
The latest development comes at a time when Zimbabwe is experiencing a lithium rush following the discovery of the lucrative and strategic mineral in some parts of the country, particularly at Sandawana Mine in Mberengwa, Midlands province last year in December.
The discovery of the metal at Sandawana Mine and other areas around the country positions Zimbabwe to play a dominant role in the production of lithium. 
Zimbabwe, which produced 1 200 metric tonnes of the mineral in 2021 is the world’s fifth largest producer.  
In a bid to restore order in the areas where the globally sought-after mineral is being informally mined, the government swiftly <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/zimbabwe-bans-export-of-raw-lithium/">banned the exportation of unprocessed lithium.</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/just-as-oil-is-to-saudi-arabia-so-is-lithium-and-iron-to-zimbabwe-chiwenga/">“Just As Oil Is To Saudi Arabia, So Is Lithium And Iron To Zimbabwe” – Chiwenga</a></li>
<li><a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/beitbridge-border-post-officials-intercept-bernard-mnangagwas-trucks-loaded-with-lithium-ore/">Beitbridge Border Post Officials Intercept Bernard Mnangagwa’s Trucks Loaded With Lithium Ore</a></li>
<li><a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/police-intercept-trucks-with-lithium-ore/">Police Intercept Trucks Loaded With Lithium Ore</a></li>
</ul>
ZDI was given the green light to ship an estimated 100 00 tonnes of lithium monthly, reportedly to China, which is a major global consumer of the mineral alongside the United States (US).
According to The Independent, Mines ministry chief director Mercy Manyuchi signed off the deal after the arms manufacturer’s application indicated that it: “was well positioned to obtain lithium ore from a mine in Chikwanda Communal lands in Masvingo.” A source told the publication:
<blockquote>
ZDI applied for permission to export lithium ore. The company declared that they would obtain the lithium ore from a mine under the registration number: 17079BM, in Chikwanda Communal Lands in Masvingo Province. 
ZDI was granted an exemption letter to export lithium ore in October 2022.
</blockquote>
The source reportedly added that the Mines and Mining Development ministry had indicated that it, however, had no “traceable record of ZDI’s involvement in exporting nor mining of one of the most important minerals in high demand globally today.”
Questions posed to Manyuchi and Mines and Mining Development minister Winston Chitando drew blanks.
Defence minister Oppah Muchinguri said she was not aware of the permit and only Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) Phillip Valerio Sibanda was in the right position to comment. The Independent quotes her as saying:
<blockquote>
I am not aware of what happens at ZDI. As you are aware ZDI is a company that has its board and management and its operations are independent. Therefore, as the minister, I am not aware. 
</blockquote>
She suggested that questions be referred to the CDF.
Over the years, ZDI has furthered its commercial interests in the mining sector resulting in the formation of platinum mining firm Great Dyke which is a joint venture with a Russian consortium comprising VI Holdings, Rostec and Vnesheconombank.
ZDI also held shareholding in Chinese companies Anjin Investments and Jinan Mining that mined diamonds in Marange.
ZDI was slapped with sanctions by the US and other Western countries in 2002 over allegations of propping up the late president Robert Mugabe’s oppressive government.
