Reduce Maternal Mortality 14:30 @ Gates of Downing Street
The rate of deaths during child birth, and for under 5 year old children is a major cause for concern in Zimbabwe. Particularly distressing is the rate of pregnancies for girls UNDER THE AGE OF CONSENT (18 years old) worse still, even below age 10 - where death during delivery is not uncommon. This is 'heart breaking' and not just an issue with Hospital health services, but a wider social "acceptance" {of sorts} of technical rape of these young girls.
We note in the UNFPA, UNICEF, UNESCO, CESSHAR study written in June 2023 and Finalised in December 2023 {CLICK HERE TO READ or DOWNLOAD}
Official data shows that the vast majority of teenage pregnancies fall in the 18-19 age group, which is above Zimbabwe’s age of majority. A detailed breakdown of the data in the 2015 Zimbabwe Demographic Health Survey, the latest available, shows that 68%, and not nearly 80%, of all teenage pregnancies fall within this age group.
This implies that in the 2015 survey 32% of these pregnancies were BELOW the age of consent!!
The Petition is scheduled to be delivered by:
1) Philis Melody Magejo (Petitioner)
2) Josephine Jenje-Mudimbu (Petitioner)
3) Jane Mundangepfupfu (Petitioner)
4) Diana Machingauta (Petitioner)
5) Chido Shamu (Petitioner)
6) Renee Brenda Langa (Petitioner)
With Ronald Mutumbi as Organiser.
Stop Torture & Abductions
In a wider context and spanning both petition's content and ethos, Zimbabwe's {corrupt} Zanu PF regime, has not signified their rejection of state sponsored TORTURE - one of a very tiny minority of Nations who have failed to uphold this honourable policy {one of only 4 we understand!}.
Torture and Abduction appears to be one of the main 'weapons' used by the {corrupt} regime to oppress any and all opposition.
Mnangagwa Failing

Mnangagwa is missing opportunities in Zimbabwe
Emmerson Mnangagwa is missing golden opportunities for setting up solid, independent and democratic institutions in Zimbabwe. On the contrary, the main pillars of the state, thus the judiciary, the legislature, the media and the executive are now entangled in a convoluted relationship which has become a well-oiled system of nepotism, political chicanery, kleptocracy, judicial bias, election rigging and constitutional jiggery-pokery.
State Capture:
All government ministers are now competing and overstepping one another in trying to please the {unelected} president. Instead of formulating and implementing policies which benefit the people of Zimbabwe, most of their time is now spent on trivial errands trying to 'curry favour' with the {unelected} president. Ministers and members of parliament are continuously showering undue praise to Mnangagwa. All those extravagant gifts to Mnangagwa are not sincere gifts. The main functions of the executive are policy making thus creating policies which determine how a country is run, law implementation thus putting into practice the laws passed by the legislature, managing and administering public services, establishing and enforcing regulations, overseeing national security, defence and managing foreign relations. It is now evident and observable that Mnangagwa’s {unelected?} government has gone AWOL and spends most of its time kowtowing.
Parliament emasculated and grounded:
The Parliament of Zimbabwe is now in Mnangagwa’s pocket. The opposition party members of Parliament have been neutralised, bribed, infiltrated {in many cases - replaced} and weakened. There is no longer any 'voice of reason' in the Parliament. All members of Parliament are now simply focused on enjoying the trappings of power and the decorum which comes with the office of the member of Parliament.
Many constituencies have no running water, no ambulance, no healthcare, no schools and the rising cost of living is leaving many people in debilitating poverty.

Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has been 'anointed' as Chair of SADC
A most curious accolade for a man with such a violent and corrupt back story. [Image ED Hammering Zimbabwe]
Mnangagwa is the new Chairman of SADC overall with specific responsibilities and duties - he will take over from H.E. João Lourenço [President of Angola] and The Chair of SADC Organ is now H.E. Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan [President of Tanzania] who has superseded H.E. Hakainde Hichilema [President of Zambia] specific duties covering SADC Troika on Politics, Defence, and Security Cooperation (source Tanzanian Citizen News}
"The outgoing chairman [H.E. João Lourenço] also addressed ongoing security challenges in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), stressing the need for maintaining peace and stability in the region. He extended condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in SADC missions in Mozambique and the DRC and called for renewed efforts to restore peace in these areas. [This aspect is tragic indeed when we look at Mnangagwa's past crimes and violence.] See below
How can Mnangagwa be in charge of this with his record in 2002 as the "Chief Strategist of the Looting the DRC! (UN report}Note1
In Addition - Climate
In accepting the chairmanship, President Mnangagwa outlined his vision for SADC’s future, focusing on economic transformation and regional integration. He pledged to build on the foundation laid by his predecessor and work closely with all member states to achieve the region’s goals.
The summit, held under the theme “Promoting Innovation to Unlock Opportunities for Sustainable Economic Growth and Development Towards an Industrialized SADC,” also featured discussions on climate changeNote2, economic cooperation, and the impact of global events on the region.
Then there is still the overhanging issue [as yet unresolved] over Mnangagwa's involvement and complicity in GUKURAHUNDI - something that no Zimbabwean {with a conscious can ignore - even after 40 years or so}.Note3
Mnangagwa's Chairmanship Sparks Controversy and Concern
by Basil Kamombe CCC Manchester, United Kingdom.
The situation in Zimbabwe under President Mnangagwa has raised significant concerns regarding human rights, governance, and the role of regional bodies like the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Since Mnangagwa took power in 2017, the country has experienced a series of violent events, including the military's involvement in elections, protests, and a broader crackdown on dissent.
SADC - established to promote development, peace, and security, appears to have been ineffective in addressing the ongoing crisis in Zimbabwe. Critics argue that the organization has prioritized political alliances over the well-being of the citizens it is meant to serve.
This perception of SADC as a protective shield for leaders rather than a force for accountability has fuelled disillusionment among Zimbabweans. [Will ED Hammer SADC too??]
In response to the dire situation, there is a call for the formation of a shadow diaspora government that can advocate for the rights and voices of Zimbabweans who feel silenced. Such a government could provide a platform for representation and push for international recognition, aiming to bring attention to the democratic crisis in Zimbabwe.
The emphasis on youth representation is also crucial, as the SADC region has a significant young population that can play a vital role in driving change. Mobilizing young leaders and activists could foster a new wave of advocacy for democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe and beyond.
Overall, the need for accountability, effective governance, and genuine representation in Zimbabwe remains urgent, and the role of regional organizations like SADC will be critical in determining the future of the country. [More Evidence to follow in part 2]
Zanu Paranoia about SADC Visit

"THE CHARADE in ZIMBABWE"
Sub heading for this entire report
Dateline Friday 16th August 2024: Whitehall, London 12:00 noon
Zimbabweans started arriving opposite the gates to 10 Downing Street at around 12:00 {high noon!}, although due to travelling great distances a few were in London for 8:00am.
However, in the run up to the visitation by SADC tomorrow {17th August 2024} regarding the passing over of the {rotational} SADC Chairmanship, ED Mnangagwa has gone full scale psychotic paranoia national white-wash programme!
Roads that have not seen tarmac for decades, suddenly got a 'top-coat' {straight onto the sand in many cases so in a month or two - it will be a pot-holed obstacle course} - but hey, whenever have Zanu done a quality job? Verges were tidied up whilst others were painted! They even claimed they were going to build luxury apartment for the visiting SADC 'Heads of State' {alas these despite the Swiss 'expertise' are still unfinished - again typical Zanu PF bodge-up?
But the most unsettling aspect of this purely ceremonial SADC chairmanship, was the ruthless forward planning for months in advance by the psychotic ED and his band of paranoid sadistic CIO's, Police and Military personnel - press-ganged into detaining anybody and everybody they could think of who may/may not, possibly/maybe lead to ED being "embarrassed" about the nation he has plundered for so, so long. The insanity of Zanu paranoia should be a 'case-study' in future annals of political-psychology teachings.
The breath-taking hypocrisy of ED trying to polish a t**d of his own making.
But the degree of human suffering meted out by the psychotic Zanu PF machine, in these preceding months cannot be over emphasised. Abductions without due cause, torture, beatings detention without trials, without representation, for months on end. The Zanu PF regime is failing on every measure of an "administration" - worse, they cannot legally claim to be a Government - in part due to SADC's own SECOM findings! Cheif Ndiweni made this exact point outside Number 10 Downing Street this afternoon. {Video Link to Follow}
But, let us not forget what other Election observers have said about the 23-24th August 2023 Zimbabwe Elections! A few will be cited further below.
More telling, is the arrest of the Election Observers! Who were trying to validate and tabulate the actual votes! Typical Zanu PF "thinking" - lets put a stop to that and arrest them all! Zanu PF cannot even think as a government - their deep seated psychosis is so complete, that their 'knee-jerk' reactions, to arrest, capture and torture any and every form of "opposition" beit from anybody - even foreign observers.
The fraudulent ZEC and its entire administration has plenty to hide from the 'eyes' of the World's election observers.
In part 2 of this report we shall see the global headlines issued on the 16th August 2024 regarding this "CHARADE in ZIMBABWE"
