Background On March 6, 2003, the President, invoking the authority of, *inter alia,* the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S. C. 1701-06) (“IEEPA”) issued Executive Order 13288 (68 FR 11457, March 10, 2003). In Executive Order 13288, the President declared a national emergency to deal with the threat posed by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions, contributing to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated violence and intimidation in that country, and to political and economic instability in the southern African region.

On July 25, 2008, the President found that the continued actions and policies of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions to commit acts of violence and other human rights abuses against political opponents, and to engage in public corruption, including by misusing public authority, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States and issued Executive Order 13469. Executive Order 13469 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to designate additional persons determined to meet the criteria set forth therein.

On April 17, 2014, the Acting Director of OFAC, in consultation with the State Department, determined that the individuals and entity identified below met the criteria of Executive Order 13469 and, accordingly, blocked their property and interests in property and added them to the SDN List.
