The US sanctioned Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s son on the eve of a US-Africa summit, quashing expectations the meeting would be an opportunity to repair relations.
Emmerson Mnangagwa Jr. was named alongside three other people for their ties to prominent businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei, the US Treasury said in a statement published on its website on Monday. Emmerson Mnangagwa Jr. has been in “charge of the president’s business interests related to Tagwirei,” it said.
