ZIMBABWE will not be arm twisted into accepting the dictates of the West through the continued imposition of the illegal sanctions, Vice President Landa John Nkomo said yesterday.
In a speech read on his behalf by Senator Simon Khaya Moyo during the launch of the First Choice Wholesale in Gwanda, VP Nkomo said meaningful development of the country would not be achieved through external aid.
