Once
again Vigil
activists
met
outside
the
Zimbabwe
Embassy
in
London
to
continue
our
protest
against
the
human
rights
abuse
and
lack
of
democracy
in
Zimbabwe
perpetrated
by
ZANU
PF,
the
ruling
regime.
Thanks
to
those
who
came
today: Blessing
Harry,
Jonathan
Kariwo,
Munashe
Madziyauswa,
Ziwanai
Mbanje,
Samantha
Pfupajena,
Ephraim
Tapa

One
Vigil
activist
commented
on
the
exorbitant
fuel
increases
now
fuelling
inflation
in
Zimbabwe.
Food,
transport
costs,
accommodation
and
everything
have
gone
up,
in
some
cases
doubled,
much
beyond
the
reach
of
the
ordinary
Zimbabwean.
It’s
the
Tagwirei
and
ZANU
PF
who
stand
to
profit
from
all
this.

The
vigil
strongly
condemns
this
avaricious
and
parasitic
behaviour
by
those
connected
to
ZANU
PF’s
2030
agenda
and
calls
for
a
spirit
of
patriotism
and
empathy.

  the
  Vigil’s
  partner
  organisation

  ROHR
  grew
  out
  of
  the
  need
  for
  the
  Vigil
  to
  have
  an
  organisation
  on
  the
  ground
  in
  Zimbabwe
  which
  reflected
  the
  Vigil’s
  mission
  statement
  in
  a
  practical
  way.
  ROHR
  in
  the
  UK
  actively
  fundraises

  etc
  to
  support
  the

  It
  records
  how
  events
  in
  Zimbabwe
  have
  unfolded
  as
  seen
  by
  the
  diaspora
  in
  the
  UK.
  It
  ccahronicles
  the
  economic
  disintegration,

  the
  tragic
