Zapu leader, Dumiso Dabengwa says money sent to him through
Western Union is always frozen.
He said he was still on the sanctions list. “So I am
virtually still on sanctions. I am the only Zimbabwean plus (Robert) Mugabe,
who is still on sanctions.”
But Dabengwa told Newsday that at one point, he was granted
visa to UK after his name was removed from the list when he left Zanu PF, but
the embassies cannot explain why his Western Union receipts get frozen.
He said him and his wife applied for British visas in
April. “I did not get the visa until
today, as I speak, this morning, because I am due to go for a medical check-up
in SA next week. I then sent a request to have my passport returned because I
did not have an indication of when the visa would be processed,” Dabengwa said.
“This was after speaking with John Culley of British embassy in Harare asking
why [there was] a delay in the processing of my visa. He responded that maybe
it is because my name was on the sanctions list. But I said my name had been
withdrawn from the sanctions list in 2010. I travelled twice to the UK after my
name was withdrawn from the list.”
