There are many other people who have sustained us over the past decade: the silent benefactor who would from time to time stuff a wad of £20 notes into our startled hands, the Oxford music professor who joined us in a local pub to tutor us on singing, the film stars such as Tim Robbins and Emma Thompson who signed our petitions not to mention Simon Callow who stopped his taxi to get out and give us some money. And we don’t forget the nuns who pray for us from their Welsh convent.
The meeting ended troubled and uncertain but with determination to continue the Vigil until our objectives are achieved. ‘We are doing it for (imprisoned MDC youth leader) Solomon Madzore and the others, for people who have disappeared, for those who hope for democracy in Zimbabwe, for a free Zimbabwe’.
Cephas Moswoswa suggested that our next diaspora protest on Saturday should be focused on China because of their abusive relationship with Zimbabweans. It was agreed to take this forward.
FOR THE RECORD: 75 signed the register.
