Embassy asks Nhema’s wife to be added to sanctions list

The United States embassy asked its government to add Environment Minister Francis Nhema’s wife Louise Nkomo to the United States sanctions list.

The embassy wanted spouses of President Robert Mugabe’s lieutenants to be added to the sanctions list as a response to the flawed elections of March 2005 which the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front won by a two-thirds majority and the government’s brutal Operation Murambatsvina.

Louise was the daughter of Zimbabwe’s former vice-President Joshua Nkomo.
