Update: 24th October 2024: Last minute {early hours @2:30 am} additions to both petitions and now links to Read/Download from here: 13:30 Injustice Petition: READ/DOWNLOAD HERE
14:30 Maternal Deaths Petition: READ/DOWNLOAD HERE
Later today {or this evening} we will do a new article to log the day's events, photographs and reactions - WATCH THIS SPACE
Update: 23rd October 2024: We have nearly completed both written Petition Documents, ready for tomorrow's Pair of Petitions! In doing so we have had contact with the President of ZAPU, Mr Michael Sibangilizwe Nkomo, the son of Joshua Nkomo. ZAPU are a well established party {est 1963} who pre-date the ZANU PF, and were pivotal in the quest for independence - as granted in 1980.
President Nkomo has written a moving and heart-felt piece about both of our Petition - and we will be quoting these in each Petition Document at the hand over on Thursday 24th October 2024.
See President Michael Sibangilizwe Nkomo - web article here: https://zapu.org/the-rogue-regime-in-harare-now-a-regional-threat-to-sadc.html
Update: 22nd October 2024: Whilst Zanu PF rides 'rough-shod' over Human Rights, the Rule of Law AND the constitution, other external agencies have thrown down a challenge to expose their unparallel level of crimes within and without Zimbabwe. The UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders on the 21st October 2024, Published their report AND the Zanu PF response - for their {Zanu PF} pages and pages of verbage only ONE PARAGRAPH - encapsulated their utter contempt and refusal to face facts - here we quote it verbatim:
"Government {Zanu PF regime response} has also noted the disturbing pattern by some non-state actors to deliberately and mischievously cause anarchy particularly, ahead of major international events, in order to discredit the Government. These unlawful actions, have become sources of unverified information which, unfortunately, are authoritatively used as the basis of allegations of human rights violations against Zimbabwe."
So, its everybody else's fault, and it's all unproven!! Typical Zanu PF response! Blind to reality of their Corruption and Crimes
Well we are ready to expose you on Thursday, draft Petition written, several high profile contributions are on their way. In addition Ed's {so called Presidency of SADC} is looking like planned chaos within the SADC region - election rigging is part of Zanu DNA it would seem.
This will be a first;
-- two separate and discrete petitions delivered to 10 Downing Street on the same day in the afternoon. BE THERE, with all your friends, contacts and those who would support these complex Zimbabwean problems {with the Zanu PF corrupt regime}.
The idea is to engage with the public, the press, the UK Government and FCDO.
Time Table for the 24th October 2024
- Meet at Zimbabwe Embassy, 429 The Strand, London; WC2R 0JR: from 12:00 {noon} onwards to 13:00 - when we march to via Trafalgar Square, and Whitehall to 10 Downing Street

Release all Political Prisoners & Stop Corruption 13:30 @ Gates of Downing Street

1) Model Pamire (Petitioner)
2) Simbarashe Jingo (Petitioner) [Web Article]
3) Greatman Makipa (Petitioner)
4) Kelvin T Mhlanga (Petitioner)
5) Dickson Chikwizo (Petitioner)
6) Tendai Mapfumo (Petitioner)

Reduce Maternal Mortality & Infant Deaths 14:30 @ Gates of Downing Street
The rate of deaths during child birth, and for under 5 year old children is a major cause for concern in Zimbabwe. Particularly distressing is the rate of pregnancies for girls UNDER THE AGE OF CONSENT (18 years old) worse still, even below age 10 - where death during delivery is not uncommon. This is 'heart breaking' and not just an issue with Hospital health services, but a wider social "acceptance" {of sorts} of technical rape of these young girls.
We note in the UNFPA, UNICEF, UNESCO, CESSHAR study written in June 2023 and Finalised in December 2023 {CLICK HERE TO READ or DOWNLOAD}
Official data shows that the vast majority of teenage pregnancies fall in the 18-19 age group, which is above Zimbabwe’s age of majority. A detailed breakdown of the data in the 2015 Zimbabwe Demographic Health Survey, the latest available, shows that 68%, and not nearly 80%, of all teenage pregnancies fall within this age group.
This implies that in the 2015 survey 32% of these pregnancies were BELOW the age of consent!!
The Petition is scheduled to be delivered by:
1) Philis Melody Magejo (Petitioner)
2) Josephine Jenje-Mudimbu (Petitioner)
3) Jane Mundangepfupfu (Petitioner)
4) Diana Machingauta (Petitioner)
5) Chido Shamu (Petitioner)
6) Renee Brenda Langa (Petitioner)
With Ronald Mutumbi as Organiser.
Stop Torture & Abductions
In a wider context and spanning both petition's content and ethos, Zimbabwe's {corrupt} Zanu PF regime, has not signified their rejection of state sponsored TORTURE - one of a very tiny minority of Nations who have failed to uphold this honourable policy {one of only 4 we understand!}.
Torture and Abduction appears to be one of the main 'weapons' used by the {corrupt} regime to oppress any and all opposition.

Mnangagwa is missing opportunities in Zimbabwe
Emmerson Mnangagwa is missing golden opportunities for setting up solid, independent and democratic institutions in Zimbabwe. On the contrary, the main pillars of the state, thus the judiciary, the legislature, the media and the executive are now entangled in a convoluted relationship which has become a well-oiled system of nepotism, political chicanery, kleptocracy, judicial bias, election rigging and constitutional jiggery-pokery.
State Capture:
All government ministers are now competing and overstepping one another in trying to please the {unelected} president. Instead of formulating and implementing policies which benefit the people of Zimbabwe, most of their time is now spent on trivial errands trying to 'curry favour' with the {unelected} president. Ministers and members of parliament are continuously showering undue praise to Mnangagwa. All those extravagant gifts to Mnangagwa are not sincere gifts. The main functions of the executive are policy making thus creating policies which determine how a country is run, law implementation thus putting into practice the laws passed by the legislature, managing and administering public services, establishing and enforcing regulations, overseeing national security, defence and managing foreign relations. It is now evident and observable that Mnangagwa’s {unelected?} government has gone AWOL and spends most of its time kowtowing.
Parliament emasculated and grounded:
The Parliament of Zimbabwe is now in Mnangagwa’s pocket. The opposition party members of Parliament have been neutralised, bribed, infiltrated {in many cases - replaced} and weakened. There is no longer any 'voice of reason' in the Parliament. All members of Parliament are now simply focused on enjoying the trappings of power and the decorum which comes with the office of the member of Parliament.
Many constituencies have no running water, no ambulance, no healthcare, no schools and the rising cost of living is leaving many people in debilitating poverty.

As announced and after some considerable soul searching, Hon Nelson Chamisa has decided to disassociate from the corrupted CCC structures as bastardised by Zanu PF and their agents/acolytes.
The full Declaration {13 pages} can be viewed or downloaded by following this LINK as taken from the X/Twitter Account CLICK HERE
New Considerations - For Discussion:
""The original CCC idea has however been contaminated, bastardized, hijacked by ZANU PF through the abuse of State institutions. CCC has not been aligned to its founding Purpose and Mandate. Further, CCC has now been rendered an extension of and been taken over by ZANU PF. CCC has, to all intents and purposes, been criminally handed over to ZANU PF.""
""There are fresh things we need to do. Let’s all work together for total freedom, true change and wholistic transformation for our beloved country. Giving up or giving in is not an option. Nothing comes without tenacity and resilience.""
Nelson Chamisa: 24th January 2024
It is a given' that the current Zimbabwe Constitution is "weak" in terms of democracy, personal freedoms etc - as it was a compromise with Mugabe, and further weakened by the psychopath Mnangagwa - then a "New Democratic Constitution" is a valid objective for any {new or existing} political party or movement.
For a people who have endured indescribable suffering under a dictatorship, the opposition should lead in setting the standard in constitutionalism and real democracy. Their constitution should have strong checks and balances that prevent any form of dictatorial tendencies and abuse of institutions that are supposed to be independent. A nation without strong independent institutions is ruled at the whim of whosoever is in power.
Lessons must be learned! Structure, Constitution, Defined Posts (elected, administrative and bestowed), Defined Policies for Infrastructure, Finances ( we cannot ignore Tendai Biti), International Agreements, Nationalisation of Strategic Resources and Minerals!! Health, Gukurahundi Justice, Stamping out and Jailing those involved with Corruption, A New Constitution, Remove all Partisan Judges, Replace ZEC with a real Electoral Body, Diaspora Vote!
All 'State Institutions to be re organised, Redefine the role of Police and Army.
Watch this space!

Celebrating 2023: A Journey of Defiance, Unity, and Hope
1) President Nelson Chamisa’s Remarkable Journey: From road to road, village to village, and corner to corner, President @nelsonchamisa’s journey spanned over 10,000km, stirring the spirits of the people with his unwavering resolve. Through more than 100 meetings and rallies, his tireless efforts galvanized a movement that defied odds and stood undeterred in the face of adversity.
2) People-Powered Movement: United in purpose, change champions across the nation amplified the call for a New Great Zimbabwe, igniting a groundswell of support that transcended boundaries and embraced the collective dreams of the masses. This groundswell reshaped the narrative, advocating for a Zimbabwe that uplifts all, not just a select few.
3) Citizen-Centric Leadership: Embracing an inclusive approach, a new era of citizen-driven candidate selection took root, empowering the voices of the local people. Together, we ushered in a wave of young, fresh, citizen-focused leaders, standing tall against the regime’s entrenched elite.
4) People’s Triumph: Overcoming formidable hurdles, we clinched the majority of local councils, emerging victorious in an astounding 33 out of 34 urban local authorities. Moreover, the citizenry’s unwavering strength signaled an indomitable force, especially demonstrated by standing and waiting in queues to cast votes for change—a testament to the people’s ownership of this movement.
5) Resilience Against Adversity: Despite daunting challenges, our resolute spirit thwarted attempts to secure a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly. Triumphs in remote areas like Zvimba East and Seke stood as beacons of hope in our crusade for an equitable Zimbabwe.
6) Unveiling Truth: The integrity of our election coalition, bolstered by collaborative efforts, exposed the facade of counterfeit results and uncovered the true voice of the people. The failure to disclose authentic results, depicting President Chamisa’s lead, laid bare the deceit.
7) Gratitude to the Global Family: We extend our deepest gratitude to the steadfast diaspora community, an unwavering pillar of support and solidarity in our pursuit of a brighter Zimbabwe. We understand your desire to return home, and we strive to create changed circumstances around human rights, economic development, and equal opportunities for all.
8) Global Acknowledgment of Injustice: With unanimous condemnation, international observers unequivocally declared the illegitimacy of the ZEC announcement, setting the stage for urgent redress.
9) In 2024, under the leadership of President @nelsonchamisa, we stand poised to address Zimbabwe’s legitimacy crisis in alignment with the Citizens National Assembly discussions.
10) Together, in 2023, we etched the mark of defiance, unity, and triumph. Our odyssey to a luminous destiny continues. Let us fuel the flames of hope, relentlessly striving toward a New Great Zimbabwe led by President @nelsonchamisa that authentically reflects the dreams of its people.
For 2024: ""A 2024 FULL OF SURPRISES… As we begin a new year, I encourage you to stay focused on the promise. We were robbed but God is a RESTORER. We keep the faith. Indeed 2023 was the year. Let 2024 be the year of vindication!""
""Wishing you abundant blessings, unprecedented wins and record-breaking gains this 2024.. Our goal is single and simple; to make change happen and transform Zimbabwe unto greatness. Declaring unto Zimbabwe incredible successes in reforms, unimaginable strides in unity and spectacular victories in peace and restoration!! It’s a pleasant surprises-filled 2024. May God gracefully guide, guard and glide you. Flourish and Shine! A Happy 2024 with sparkle and cheer everyone! #Godisinit""
