POLITICAL RISK Sango is immune from the normal risks associated with Zimbabwe. Ownership is held by a German holding company, which enjoys fullest protection under the German-Zimbabwean-InvestmentProtection-Treaty. Many attempts of land-grab in the past were fought off by applying the treaty through the strong assistance of the relevant Ambassadors as well as the German Government. The new Government of Zimbabwe recognises Sango’s protection treaty status fully. The Agreement is called: Agreement between the Republic of Zimbabwe and the Federal Republic of Germany Concerning the Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investments and is in force since 1995.
