The civil rights initiative AfriForum has condemned the Zimbabwean authorities' decision to freeze the bank accounts of Nestlé in the country after the company stopped buying milk from Grace Mugabe.

According to AfriForum, this step is yet another indication that the Zimbabwean government of unity is a sham and that true political change still has not come about in Zimbabwe, AfriForum said

According to Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, the Mugabe regime proves with this action that democratic opposition against them still won't be tolerated. The latest developments underline that "smart sanctions" targeted at Mugabe and members of his inner circle have to be stepped up.

AfriForum asks companies that conduct business in Zimbabwe to do so in a manner which will benefit the general population of the country, but not the regime itself.

"Appeals to call off 'smart sanctions' targeting Mugabe and his cronies, are a denial of the suffering of ordinary Zimbabweans at the hands of the regime on a daily basis," Kriel added.
