Mugabe’s Birthday Bash: 21st February 2012

The Vigil joined with the MDC in the UK in a demonstration outside the South African High Commission in London on Mugabe’s birthday, 21st February.

It was the second demonstration in a monthly campaign organized by the 21st Movement Free Zimbabwe Global Protest with the aim of putting pressure on South Africa to enforce the Global Political Agreement.

A Vigil supporter wearing our Mugabe mask was given three birthday presents: sanctions eased, looted diamonds and typhoid. He also carried a poster: ‘Mugabe’s 88th Birthday – vote for me or DIE’.
