DEAR EDITOR - I read with shock the intention by Standard Bank to close John Bredenkamp's accounts because of a purported link to President Mugabe.

I am sure many people who denied the existence of sanctions (not targetted sanctions) against Zimbabwe, have now been left with egg in face.

All MDC leaders who once kept mum on the issue of sanctions are now feeling the pinch as they try to run government institutions on the back of these measures.

Standard Chartered Bank, ironically, made its name on the back of the Apartheid system in South Africa and then Rhodesia. There was no public outcry from Western countries, or the 'new human rights activists' who were benefitting from Ian Smith's rule.

There was also no threat of sanctions against this entity; which was used for sanctions busting by the ruthless Ian Smith regime.

Many of us would really want to know what exactly is going on regarding Zimbabwe.

This is no longer time for naivety.
