I realy feel frustrated by the evil effects of the economic embargo on Zimbabwe.Our country is very rich in minerals , wildlife and very good lands .It is from these the jelousy from the west emanated from.We are a united ,blessed and civilised people who cannot be moved by ‘wind’.

The donor-funded-and-founded party is trying to use Sanctions for political gain for civilian pain.These people cannot lead those who are open-minded as we are,they are however unfortunate, I mean both the funded and the funders for wasting both their time and their funds.We are Zimbabweans and will not be moved by those’Loud sounding Nothings’

Hardly a week after I posted a comment pertaining the unfairness of PayPal’s participation in sanctioning it’s service in Zimbabwe, I went back to the site in a bid to prove to my wife, who wasn’t a believer that the so-called sanctions were also ‘PayPal-wide’.

I supplied my login details and anxiously waited for the infamous yellow sanction banner to appear, but alas! On my screen was a welcome message instead! I was prompted to supply answers to my secret questions, which I did, and the login was complete successfully! I logged out, and back in again reaping the same result. I did the same routine again this morning and PayPal didn’t disappoint.

I would like to thank PayPal for unsanctioning their good service in our country. I just hope the others who have the same mindset of sanctioning what affects everybody will follow suit.

Thank you.

Being A Zimbabwean that I am and neither being affiliated with any political party nor targeted persons, I strongly feel this is rather unfair. There is a more than meets the eye; you might just as well say it’s a plot to bring the country to a stand still–meaning, if you can’t buy from within Zim, what’s the point of going there. If no one visits, then the country does not get foreign currency which in turn will bring it to a stand still. Hold that thought. There is business going on here in Zim, business between Zim-USA, Zim-UK and vice-versa. Money is changing hands irregardless of these so-called sanctions.

With that being said, what’s the big idea?

well, kind of funny, I’m not even from Zimbabwe, I just stayed two weeks here visiting my father who works for german development service and I just wanted to buy access to the Internet for my train from Frankfurt to Hamburg when I would get back to germany and it was the same, I was not allowed to use my paypal-account because I tried to reach it from Zimbabwe, guess I will have to do so, when I take a stop in Addis Abeba… let’s hope they don’t got any sanctions over there in Ethiopea^^

Totally with you on this one! I manage a whole bunch of sites around the world, from Zimbabwe. I can’t touch Paypal though, as I found to my (and my clients) cost recently when I tried to access my UK Paypal account, and their ecommerce site management (which uses Paypal), and both were closed down! Paypal just ignore any requests from me to re-open or allow access, and they won’t justify their position either.
