Singapore Govt Block Mugabe Flying Into Country

Staff Reporter| History was made yesterday when the Singaporean government officials accepted a petition to block Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe from entering that country.
After a battle with protesters yesterday afternoon, officials finally accepted petition papers served by marchers from the Super Vigil and the Restoration for Human Rights Organisation’s Zim based rep, Sten Zvorwadza.
Also leading at the forefront were the vocal London based activist Martin Chinyanga, Peter Sidindi, David Kadzutu and Anselm Karimanzira(the latter who wrote the petition).
Earlier on, embassy officials had called the police in a rush ordering them to arrest or chase away scores of Zimbabweans who had assembled outside the consulate offices in London.
But instead of arresting the protesters, British police officers to the contrary intervened on behalf of Zimbabweans despite the Zimbos having failed to obtain police clearance for the protest.
Jubilant Zimbabweans throbbed in ululation and dance as they happily marched to hand over their petition demands.
Martin Chinyanga told ZimEye police officers said they respect the Zimbabweans’ plight.
“We had been given a false alarm, we know Zimbabweans you are genuine, they told us,” said Chinyanga.
Some even joined our protest, added Chinyanga.
The police officers walked into the embassy and negotiated that three Zimbabwean reps be allowed to enter the consulate.
People who handed the petition were Mary Muteyerwa, Lorraine Mudjgiwa and Anselm Karimanzira.
The demand papers state that Robert Mugabe must with immediate effect be blocked from entering Singapore for his frequent medical appointments. Speaking shortly after the protest, one regular protester, Emmaculate Lee Tshuma told ZimEye, ” the First Family should be stopped from entering Singapore because Zimbabwean citizens are suffering whilst the Mugabes are getting the best available care.”
Assuming Mugabe is using own personal money, Emmaculate Tshuma remained adamant saying that Mugabe must still be stopped. “Its not exactly his own personal money, its the money he has been stealing from the government ever since he has been ruling,” she said.

  5. A very good initiative by the Zimbos in the UK although the article’s headline is grossly misleading. The report’s body only tells us that a petition was handed down to the Singaporean embassy but that does not necessarily mean Mugabe and his cronies have been “blocked from flying into” Singapore as headlined above. Our souls are unconsciously searching for the effects of all the movements i.e. #tajamuka, #thisflag, #beatthepots etc and when we read such a headline, something is stirred in us and we would expect it to remain so even after reading the article. This is a good story about the gallant people of Zimbabwe who made it known to the Singaporean government that Zimbabweans do not condone the fact that it continues to take care of the elite statesman’s health at the expense of the rest of the citizens’ and this is applaudable. My point is, give us the news but please do not mislead us. We are very emotional about these issues…

  15. Pressure on Zanu PF to accept meaningful political reform must be maintained until there is change!

  20. They should have demanded to have his assets known publicly and frozen perhaps another demo will do that

  21. I was disappointed, not because Mugabe has not been barned in actual fact, but by the pathetic headline!

  22. Hanya nani. Mugabe unondoendawo kwakazoponera George. Futi futi futi, haaendi nendege. Unokwira giraffe!

  23. Shona Hater is Jonathan back stabber Moyo. That’s why he has time to comment on all online papers.

  24. Yes Langabi and Adrian just ignore all Mugabe’s mercenaries falsely representing tribes here.

  26. I am a Ndebele Zimbo. I don’t understand why shona hater is given some oxygen. I agree with you Adrian. People need to stop responding to his nonsense. Let him bark until he gets tired.

  30. Gutter journalism at its worst. I was watching the Olympics opening ceremony and had to wait hours to see our team. We come last in alphabetical order and we’re last in de-industrialisation.

  31. A message spoilt buy Poor Headline meant to grab attention ,Zimeye you can do better than this .Correct headlines PLEASE and let the reader decide . A headline of demonstrators hand in petition to the Singapore embassy to Block Mugabe Flying Into Singapore would have been more Apt …. please we get enough lies from the herald dont join them with sensationalism journalism

  32. There you go again. Speculation being published as fact. The Singapore has not barred Dzasukwa from visiting the country but the Singapore embassy in London has accepted a petition from diaspora Zimbos.

  37. You need help for the traumatic events you have experienced in prison. I have decided that this psychological phenomenon should acquire its own label: “Shona Rape syndrome,”
