The Vigil believes that there is overwhelming evidence that the 31st July elections were rigged and we are exploring the way forward in challenging the bogus results. We are seeking guidance for the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. Here is our letter to them:
I hope you heard about our ‘Restore Zimbabwe’ All-Stakeholders’ Diaspora Conference in London last month.
The purpose of the meeting was to agree a common platform and strategy for diaspora action on the Zimbabwe crisis following the fraudulent July elections.
Several resolutions were agreed including that we should explore the possibility of a legal challenge to the validity of the elections, especially in light of the refusal to release the voters’ roll.
We read that some people in Zimbabwe are thinking along similar lines and we will be happy to co-operate with them in any way we can. In particular, it has been suggested that we could approach the Bar Association in London for support. As you know they have taken a close interest in Zimbabwe.
A number of EU leaders have made clear they are in favour of ‘normalising’ relations with Zimbabwe, the latest being the Greek Ambassador to Harare. He said Greece would seek to have the targeted sanctions lifted in 2014 when Greece has the Presidency of the EU.
The Vigil believes that, following Belgium’s successful demand to lift sanctions against the dubious Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation, it will be difficult for the UK to hold the line. Even Germany, which has had ‘protected’ investments in Zimbabwe seized without compensation, seems to have allowed one of its companies to sell equipment to Mugabe’s own stolen Gushongo enterprise.
The Vigil’s intention is to stress the illegitimacy of the Mugabe regime even if the EU caves in on the targeted measures at its February meeting. After all, the restrictions may be lifted but it is still up to individual countries to decide who they allow to visit or deal with.
The Vigil expects a busy time in the coming year exposing the Zanu (PF) gangsters who may be emboldened by the withdrawal of the ‘illegal sanctions’ to visit the UK and we ask our friends to let us know whenever this happens so that we can give them a suitable welcome, as we did for comrades Chinamasa and Mzembi.
For an insight into the depths of corruption in the Zimbabwean mafia, we refer to the ongoing divorce case in Harare involving Mugabe’s relative Philip Chiyangwa. His estranged wife has demanded a share of his assets which are listed as follows:
