WOZASolidarity, a UK support group for WOZA in Zimbabwe, have taken up the challenge and on Saturday they joined forces with organisers of the vigil held outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in London to hold a charter launch event. Hundreds of passers by stopped to find out more about WOZA and sign endorsements commending the courage of Zimbabweans in demanding social justice through the People’s Charter.
