Vigil supporters sent out a clear message to the South African government this week: we will harass you until you stop supporting Mugabe. Both Alois and Wellington were booted out for interrupting a lecture in London on Wednesday given by the South African Foreign Minister, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma. Alois said “We were sickened to hear Dr Zuma talk about international solidarity when her government is refusing to show solidarity with the persecuted people of Zimbabwe.”
We were pleased to have with us today young Tatenda Tsikire whose mother is to be released from prison just before Christmas. In the Vigil diary of 30th September, we wrote that she had been imprisoned for working with bogus papers and appealed to the British government to allow asylum seekers to work. It was a joy to watch Tatenda dancing as previously he has been so withdrawn. Congratulations to Obey – we have a new Vigil baby, his daughter, Florence.
