We would like to thank all the people who braved the cold winter by gathering at the Zimbabwe Embassy today. The UK protest was a huge success. We would like to thank members of Virgil, RHOR, Yes-We-Can, MDC-T, Mavambo- MKD and ZAPU for attending and supporting this historic event.
It is with a mixture of apprehension and joy that we send this short message to you.
Apprehension, because, clearly, the matter of our Zimbabwe’s national crisis has become even more urgent and compelling. It is undoubtedly and huge challenge on our hands, all of us,
and we cannot escape the responsibility. Zimbabwe is not what we want and what it should be. Both, the current status of failure and the task of rescuing and rebuilding our beloved country are our inescapable responsibilities.
Yet, joy brought about by the fact that we are capable and committed to stopping the cycles of failure and move towards creating a new Zimbabwe, we all desire. We are willing and ready for the task.
We are ample evidence and testimony to that reality, as we brave the cold weather of London to stand up and be counted for the national demand to the failed Zanu PF regime to admit failure, step down and pave way for a new arrangement involving all national stakeholders, and, towards the nation holding free and fair elections.
Our protest today is not in vain.
We are not alone, fellow comrades, because, in Zimbabwe, OAUS has made a lot of progress in rallying national forces, players and stakeholders for collaboration and collective standing up for an end to the national crisis and taking steps towards creating a better Zimbabwe.
Colleagues in other parts of the world are also seriously committed and more protests will follow our sterling effort of today, in other countries across the world.
May we conclude by urging you to continue playing a role and supporting the national struggle for a better Zimbabwe in all forms necessary and possible. Together for a new Zimbabwe.
We are the people. We are the numbers. Let’s Go.
OAUS-UK Chapter.
