Walking for Activism: for fitness, for publicity; for a public reaction. But just to mingle in the wonderful British country-side and to enjoy the scenery

As Zimbabwe celebrates Heroes Day
Zimbweans must remember the unsung heroes
Murdered by their own army on August 1 2018
20000 murdered by its own army during Gukurahundi madness
All those that disappeared because of what they believed in
Morgan Tsvangirai the father of democracy even in death we still remember you
All those that were killed by Zanupf for the quest of a free Zimbabwe
May your souls continue to torment the dictators until Zimbabwe is free
Zimbabwe is ruled and not governed
Zimbabwe is occupied by a gangster, a mafia, a cartel that parades as a political party
These man and women shoot and kill to remain in power
These men and women are cowards who fear the will of the people

UPDATE 13th July 2025
Several of our intrepid walkers have hit the presses with speeches, articles and reactions on Twitter etc. But most interestingly the Agencies in Zimbabwe have also catught our 'diaspora vibe'. That in itself has prompted the writing of a tongue-in-cheek review of the last 4-5 weeks in terms of wins for the diaspora and losses for the bumbling, oppressive, corrupt Zanu PF and their "script-writers" See later our link.
We were all treated to an ice cream by Patson, who negotiated a deal for all the Walkers, with the ice-cream van driver in Meanwood Park! See a great picture from Samuel on his Twitter account {Click Here to view}
PLUS take a gander at the ever growing Flickr Photo (and Video) Logs {Click the Link} which will grow even more over the next few days!
But below is a reprint from the agentcies article on the News Wires: See below:

A PERSONAL JOURNEY THROUGH ACTIVISM AND HEALING.
As a Zimbabwean Political and Human Rights activist. I'm a proud member of (ZHRO) Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation. I have been privileged to participate in series of powerful events across the UK.
Most notably - Walk for Freedom in Blackburn on the 5th of April 2025. We had a another recent one, at the Tees Barrage in Stockton on Tees on the 3rd of May 2025.
These walks are a cry for justice, a demand for accountability and a reminder to the World that the people of of Zimbabwe deserves to live in a nation where freedom of speech, press and peaceful political participation are respected. These events are not just public demonstrations, but deeply personal journeys, for those of us who are fighting for a free Zimbabwe. Through these long walks we remember the pain and suffering our people continue to endure back home under a brutal and corrupt regime.
With each step, is a symbol of resistance, hope and of unwavering call for justice and democracy in Zimbabwe. Carrying banners, singing songs for freedom and engaging with the public, allows us to raise awareness and ensure that the plight of Zimbabweans is not forgotten. The message behind our walk is clear - ZIMBABWE DESERVES BETTER!

will complete the write up of the 3rd May - after the event - obviously!
And here it is!! A really great day for all the 15 Walkers, their support, which included 2 Cleveland Police constables and the Local Aurhority Event's Team - to be accurate, it was because Josephine informed them of our planned walk - and we had given them sufficient information about our valid and respected purpose.

Charles Kanyimo has initiated a Walk for Freedom practice event on the 6th April 2025 Sunday - less than a day away for those local to SHEFFIELD, South Yorkshire. SEE FLYER - CLICK HERE
Due to other claims on Charles's time he needs to start this short walk at 8:00am but due to its short and circular nature, the Practice Walk can start again at 10:00am for those who cannot arrive so early. We should make sure we can all meet from both 7:30am and/or 9:30am next to the Sheffield's main Railway Station - Ready for the PHOTO LOG we have already created the Flickr Album for the Day
