Terrence Mawawa | Old, tired and clueless President Robert Mugabe must go, read the placards that were raised by concerned Zimbabweans in the diaspora during yesterday’ s demonstration in London.

The Take2Zimbabwe march was organised by Zimbabwe Citizens’ Initiative(ZCI), Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation(ZHRO) and Restoration of Human Rights Zimbabwe (ROHR).
Scores of concerned Zimbabweans in exile converged at the Embassy of Zimbabwe in London and marched along the streets as they expressed their grievances.

Speaking after the event, ROHR Zimbabwe (UK Chapter)spokesperson, Farai Nhakaniso said Mugabe’s continued grip on power was a national catastrophe.

“Our message is very clear, the people of Zimbabwe are fed up with tyranny. The Take2Zimbabwe initiative was a direct response to yesterday’ s chaotic independence celebrations held across the country.How can we celebrate independence while we are suffering under Mugabe’s dictatorship?The old and tired man(Mugabe) must go,” said Nhakaniso.

He said the snap announcement by Theresa May to hold the UK 8 June 2017 Elections meant all appointments at 10 Downing Street had been rescheduled.
“We could not go to 10 Down Street because of the changes that transpired but we rescheduled the appointments,” said Nhakaniso.
ZCI chairperson, Promise Sande said Zimbabweans in the diaspora would continue to exert pressure on Mugabe – described by pro-democracy forces as a liability to the troubled nation.
ZHRO director of marketing, Mable Kayiya, said it was vital to hold such events as part of frantic efforts to force Mugabe to step down.
