Zimbabwe Vigil Diary – 18th February 2006

LONDON - One of our supporters, Tsungi, has just lost her mother and this sad news rather overshadowed our day.


“mso-spacerun: yes”> She was the seventh of her family to die in the present crisis. We may be far away but the reality of Zimbabwe is always with us. How many more must die before the situation is resolved? Our petition signed by passers-by calls on the UN Security Council to intervene.


But best of all was to have four ladies from Liverpool. That’s a long way away: the bus must take three or four hours in each direction. So here’s to the Zimbabwe Beatles: Sarah, Chiecko, Fungai and Palma – always something good out of Liverpool. And also out of Tunbridge Wells from where Francesca and her group brought a new supply of wristbands “Make Mugabe History”. They reported back on their church service for Zimbabwe last week which attracted a bumper congregation.


For the first Saturday in ages we had rain but our green tarpaulin kept us dry. It was quite a sight – so many people huddled together and singing to the sound of drums.


FOR THE RECORD: 77 attended the Vigil today. Don’t forget: Monday, February 27, 7.30 pm, Zimbabwe Forum, Upstairs at the Theodore Bullfrog pub, 28 John Adam Street, London WC2.
