1 Million Zimbabwean Voices: “We should have never let the country sink to such appalling depths”
Zimbabweans and friends of Zimbabwe in the United Kingdom are shocked, outraged and sad at a BBC documentary which depicted the desperate situation in the country.
1 Million Zimbabwean Voices, a Non Profit Organisation in England and Wales said that “Most Zimbabweans living abroad know that the circumstances back home are ‘bad’. However, those of us living abroad are part of an elite who have managed to sustain loved ones in relative comfort and security. A documentary like this serves to remind us that being able to meet the needs of our immediate families does not mean that Zimbabwe is on the mend. It reminds us that the slide towards the precipice continues. It raises the question of whether the much-heralded new political dispensation will in fact lead to change for the better for ordinary Zimbabweans or will begin and end with political accommodation.”
1 Million Zimbabwean Voices observed that to Zimbabweans who remember their country as a place where the poorest peasants could at least afford a decent meal, the documentary served to show just how far down the nation has gone while they all tried to make a life elsewhere.
“The fact that we all felt a strong sense of shame and failure is a clear indication that we still feel part of Zimbabwe. Obviously, something must be done and must be done immediately. We are the ones to do it,” the organisation said, adding that the country “should have never been allowed to come to such scenes as were depicted in the documentary. We should have never let the country sink to such appalling depths.”
1 Million Zimbabwean Voices said the time had come for things to change for the better in Zimbabwe. “Enough is enough,” the organisation said. “This is what 1 Million Zimbabwean Voices is about. A million Zimbabweans coming together to speak with one voice that it is time for real change. Real change means more than just seeing faces we like in the great offices of State, but that scenes such as we saw in the documentary should become only the stuff of history or fiction. There is no other option for Zimbabwe now.”
