The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme today called on the United States to lift sanctions on Zimbabwe’s diamonds. South Africa’s Welile Nhlapo, who currently chairs the diamond watchdog, said: “We hope that those who continue to maintain such sanctions will also be able to lift them because the lifting of these sanctions would assist Zimbabwe to bring stability and prosperity once again.” Zimbabwe’s Mines Minister Walter Chidakwa said: “Since the EU has removed sanctions on our diamonds, we are calling on the United States to remove sanctions so that we can be able to do as much business as possible.”
