Restoration of Human Rights (ROHR) Zimbabwe

It was breezy autumn day and despite the weather challenges we enjoyed giving back to the community that has embraced us. The integration and cohesion of our families inspired us to undertake such steps to say thank you to the British community for accepting us. lt was an august moment to have the highest citizen in Peterborough grace this occasion  The Mayor, Councillor Keith Sharp,  was welcomed  by our Vice Chairperson Bertha Chiyangwa. She introduced the branch members present to undertake the cleaning. Our Peterborough Chairman Alista Mabiya then spoke to the Mayor about the events that we had done since our last meeting with him in his Parlour and future events – he said he would like to continue to support us. Tariro Chikaka said  that doing this cleaning up made our community look pleasant and  might motivate someone to have second thoughts about fly tipping in a cleaned up environment – this was echoed by Getrude Kugura and Chipo Mabiya. We shared our concern about the continuing human rights abuses in Zimbabwe especially with the emanating violence during the ongoing Constitutional Reform Programme. We finished cleaning the area with much appreciation and gratitude from the Mayor.
