Harare (ZimEye) – The United States ambassador designate to Zimbabwe, David Bruce Wharton has said he is deeply honoured to be appointed to Zimbabwe by President Barack Obama and is very excited at the prospect of returning to a country where he and his family lived and worked a decade ago.
“My family and I lived, worked and learned in Zimbabwe a decade ago, and returning would be a new stage in our lives. We are excited with this opportunity to work with all of you again,” said United States Ambassador Designate to Zimbabwe, David Bruce Wharton in a message ahead of his arrival.
Ambassador Wharton was sworn in on September 10th and is expected in the country this week.
Wharton spoke of the common heritate shared between Zimbabwe and the US , ‘Americans and Zimbabweans have so much in common: family, faith, hard work and love of the land which sustains our countries’ shared agricultural roots’.

The envoy also added stating that Zimbabwe should build strong institutions that administer justice.

“We all deserve it (justice) and we all need strong institutions to defend and administer it.
“Nations prosper when all people are equal before the law. Zimbabweans and Americans have both fought for justice, know how important it is and know that it requires constant nurturing,” Wharton said in a recorded messages sent to reporters by the US Embassy in Harare.
Zimbabwe has a long history of gross human rights abuses sponsored by the state that stretches back to its pre-independence Rhodesian times. Selective application of the law has also been an issue over the past decade with the controlling party ZANU PF standing accused.
Wharton, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Minister-Counselor, was previously Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of African Affairs at the Department of State. He joined the Bureau of African Affairs in 2009 as Director of the Office of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, after a two-year assignment as Deputy Coordinator of the Department of State’s Bureau of International Information Programs.
Wharton says he is excited about the prospect of returning to Zimbabwe and looks forward to meeting, learning about and working with all sectors of Zimbabwean society.
“I will work to enable Zimbabwe to become a just, prosperous and democratic state that meets the needs of its people, contributes to development in the region, and plays an important role in world affairs.”
Wharton’s additional overseas assignments include posts in Guatemala, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and South Africa.

    Is that the job of an ambassador?
    Is that the job of a GUEST?
    We’ve never heard of the Chinese or other Asian ambassadors making such a imperialistic statement?
    Are Zimbabwean ambassadors assigned such brazen task in countries that they are GUESTS?
    Zim Patriots will just have to break the heart of this brazen dev!l, as the hearts of the others have been broken.
    Zim Patriots tolerate ambassadors who recognize themselves as GUESTS, and act accordingly!
