In this short video, Rashiwe has waited by the gate at the exit of the footpath up from Brighton - and recorded the last of the Walkers to arrive on the way to the view point behind the Pub at Devil's Dyke.
Any problems the video is also on our ZHRO Flickr Platform .flickr.com/photos/zhro-uk/

GGAZAzmW4AAmC0PWalking for Freedom:
Honouring Zimbabwe’s Fallen Heroes Through Action, Not Empty Ceremonies: 

Tears once fell like rivers during Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle — rivers so vast they seemed to flood the land. In those days, Matapi Flats were built to house workers powering a growing economy. Men and women walked miles to cross into Mozambique, Zambia, and Tanzania for military training. Those who stayed behind risked everything to act as collaborators. Blood was shed, lives lost, and hopes pinned on a dream of an independent nation.

Yet, decades later, the country’s heroes might scarcely recognise the land they fought for. Today, Zimbabwe boasts a well-decorated National Heroes Acre, but the spirits of the fallen could be imagined roaming the streets in silent fury. From afar, they might see the unthinkable:

those who never stepped onto the battlefield now feasting from gold and silver plates, while the ordinary citizens they once fought to liberate die in collapsing hospitals, sell wares on the streets despite university degrees, and watch their ancestral land handed to foreign investors with government blessing.

Clean water is scarce, medication elusive unless one is connected to the powerful. Women are reduced to following the presidential entourage from rally to rally, dancing for a few dollars to feed their families. Elderly women practice suggestive dances — not for joy, but in the desperate hope of earning a $20 or $50 handout.

It is in this grim reality that Rashiwe and John, standing in solidarity with the suffering masses, took to the footpaths and byways in the UK for the Walk for Freedom. Big thank you to all the walkers who made this movement a success and special thanks to those that have made it to the Walk for Freedom Brighton to London. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to this important cause.

WhatsApp Image 2017 08 19 at 05.40.58This movement, organised by the Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO), mirrors the physical and emotional journeys Zimbabweans endure daily in their fight for survival. While the regime in Harare commemorates Heroes Day with pomp, many at home “celebrate” only because they are enticed with hand-outs — a plastic bucket, a bar of soap, or for one lucky individual, a car.

The Walk for Freedom cuts through this spectacle. It is a reminder that Zimbabwe’s struggle is not over — it has merely changed form. Today’s battles are against hunger, joblessness, and state-sanctioned corruption. It highlights the plight of mothers baking bread in the streets to survive, graduates reduced to selling mobile airtime, and youths numbing despair with drugs.

In the diaspora, participants — young and old, sick and able-bodied, disabled and determined — have shown that solidarity does not end at Zimbabwe’s borders. They walk for clean water, for functioning hospitals, for a generation robbed of its dreams. They walk because the heroes of Zimbabwe’s liberation would be turning in their graves, asking not just why they died, but what they died for.

The Walk for Freedom, coinciding with Heroes Day, is not just a march — it is a call to conscience. It is a challenge to reclaim the humanity, dignity, and future for which so many fought. And until that call is answered, the walk will continue.
