Thursday, Genocide Petition to the Prime Minister! [a duplicate of this Article CLICK HERE]
On 5th December 2024 we congregated outside the newly "secured" Zimbabwe Embassy - they have got some grim looking metal security gated fabrications at the side and front entrances - to make the Embassy even less friendly or appealing to the Zimbabwean Diaspora - security concerns or Guilt? - we have to ask why these new gates - {photo on Flickr - click to see for yourself SIDE DOOR - 429 CORNER DOOR }.
True to form the guilty inside locked their doors - simply as we were there. Indeed they sent out a CIO to sit in his new BMW X6 to "observe us" - so we took their photos too - again on our Flickr Album of the day. {CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DAYS PHOTO ALBUM} Please note that due to technical constraints, the videos recorded today will take some considerable time to be 'compressed' in order to be displayed upon our Flickr Platform - so expect videos to be appearing by the weekend please.
We took some more photos with our "Zanu PF Must Go" banner and by 13:30 we sidled off towards Trafalgar Square and onto Whitehall. by 13:45 we were arranged opposite Downing Street - under the gaze of "Monty" at his commemorative statue. By the time we have said our hellos to the new supporters opposite Downing Street it was time to present our band of 6 petitioners to the Diplomatic Police Unit in control of Downing Street. Ronald T Mutumbi, was due to be the Organiser of the 6 of us today - but had unexpected problems with travel on the day - such a pity.
So we 6 lined up at the solid security gates {making the Zimbabwean Embassy gates looking a little flimsy!} at the entrance to Downing Street. Our Police Diplomatic Unit Escort - was a friendly as any tourist guide - calling us in by our first names! As some may know within those gates we have to go through Air Port Quality X-Ray machines to check all our bags, mobile phones or any metal objects.

Participation in Peaceful Demonstration in Blackburn, United Kingdom
Date of Event: 28 March 2026
Location: Witton Park Arena, Blackburn, United Kingdom
On 28 March 2026, I travelled to Blackburn in the United Kingdom to participate in a peaceful “Walk for Freedom” organised by members of the Zimbabwean diaspora. The gathering took place at Witton Park Arena, where Zimbabweans from different parts of the UK came together in solidarity.
The purpose of the walk was to raise awareness about the ongoing political, social, and economic challenges in Zimbabwe. Participants expressed concern about governance, human rights issues, and the future of democracy in the country. The demonstration remained peaceful throughout, with individuals carrying Zimbabwean flags, placards, and banners displaying messages calling for accountability, justice, and reform.
During the event, participants engaged in discussions, shared personal experiences, and demonstrated unity in highlighting the situation back home. The presence of organised groups and coordinated messaging reflected a collective effort to bring attention to issues affecting Zimbabwean citizens both inside and outside the country.
My participation in this event was voluntary and motivated by personal concern about the situation in Zimbabwe. Being part of such public demonstrations reflects my political opinion and association with others who are critical of the current conditions in Zimbabwe.This article serves as a truthful account of my involvement in the Blackburn Walk for Freedom and is provided as supporting evidence of my political expression and activities while in the United Kingdom.
