A special hymn-singing and prayer Vigil is to be held outside the Zimbabwe Embassy from 12.30 2 pm on Easter Sunday in solidarity with Anglican worshippers in Harare locked out of St Marys Cathedral because of the power struggle involving former Bishop Kunonga, a Mugabe crony and land-grab beneficiary.The Vigil will be attended by Bishop Michael Doe who has recently returned from Zimbabwe. He will speak (at 1 pm) about his experiences celebrating the Eucharist in a ditch.
Vigil supporters were not surprised by the desperate kicking of the Zanu (PF) donkey against President Zumas current facilitation attempt. It is the moment of truth for South Africa. They will have to force Mugabe to comply with the GPA.
A notable milestone today was the sale of the 1,000th of our hessian bags labelled Working for a new Zimbabwe www.zimvigil.co.uk. All profits from the sale of these bags have gone to help our work. Thanks to Caroline Witts who has brought them all the way from Exeter, Devon (170 miles from London) for the last 2 years.
