E-mailFirstly, I would like to thank ROHR Zimbabwe in UK for the brilliant idea of bringing the Zimbabwean community together to fight for justice, freedom and peace for our nation. The situation in Zimbabwe needs our help and finally the Reading Zimbabwean community has come together to help and put forward what Mr Ephraim Tapa has founded.
Sunday 7 December 2008 marked the beginning of another branch of the fast growing RESTORATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN ZIMBABWE here in Reading, England.
With us at the launch meeting was Mr Tapa, the leader of ROHR, Paradzai Mapfumo UK Coordinator and members from the Slough Branch who were very supportive in helping us structure our committee (thanks guys, together we will win!)
Mr Tapa spoke of the need to come together and help to bring peace and justice in Zimbabwe and also stop the suffering by fundraising and voicing our demands. He strongly challenged us to stand up and be counted in the human rights agenda. At the launch, Tracy Ndovi spoke of how she was denied human rights in her country of birth and vowed to commit herself full-time to the cause.
Reading branch would like to thank ROHR UK Coordinator Mr Mapfumo for informing us about the human rights project without which we would be sitting in our houses and doing nothing to help change in Zimbabwe.
We look forward to a national event here in the UK in pursuit of our aims and goals. I hear Slough and Hounslow branch are planning a march, and I say we will come and support you guys.
Reading Zimbabwean community is now part of ROHR Zimbabwe and a committee is now in place. We look forward to working with the other branches to bring human rights to the people of Zimbabwe.
We have seen food being taken away from us (farm invasions),shelter being destroyed in front of us due to poor government (Operation Murambatsvina), now the water supply has been cut and the cholera outbreak has left people of Zimbabwe dying. When the people of Zimbabwe went to vote on 29 March 2008 they wanted change.
We want CHANGE in ZIMBABWE but the power sharing deal takes us BACK to Mugabe for President again? NO!! TOGETHER WE CAN BRING PEACE, JUSTICE AND FREEDOM IN ZIMBABWE
