Former Home Affairs Minister during farm invasions Dumison Dabengwa: Members of the opposition ZAPU met at the unlikely venue on Saturday

LEICESTER, United Kingdom - More than 100 political activists packed into a village hall to discuss the future of Zimbabwe.
The conference, in Quorn, was to find a democratic way of overthrowing Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe.
Despite its rural location, it proved so popular that organisers had to turn people away at the doors.
Members of the opposition Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) met at the unlikely venue on Saturday afternoon for the general meeting of the European branch of their party.
The activists spent the afternoon listening to lectures on how the country could move forward, and discussing how its different tribes could work together to create a fair and democratic government.
Provincial vice-chairman Nkosana Mthimkhulu, who lives in Birstall, said: "It was a very successful day."
He said local people had been surprised at the choice of Quorn for the meeting but it had the "right atmosphere".
"Zimbabwe has a lot of quiet villages, they are where many people live."
Addressing an inter-branch leadership meeting at a packed Lobengula Hall in Bulawayo on Saturday, February 20, Dabengwa said Zapu was Zimbabwe’s last hope.
He said people look up to the country’s mother party, Zapu to pick up the pieces and steer the country back to prosperity.
“I was in Murewa and people there told me that they have also been affected by Gukurahundi like the people of Matabeleland through Zanu-PF’s violence.
Zapu is now everywhere, even in President Mugabe’s home province Mashonaland West. All of the territory from Karoi to Plumtree was a Zipra front during the war and the people want their party like never before,” he said.
Dabengwa warned that the opportunity could be lost if Zapu supporters allowed themselves to be diverted by spoilers.
“Zanu-PF thought that they would not worry about Zapu outside Matabeleland and they are now discovering that they were wrong.
The MDC thought Matabeleland was their stronghold but have since discovered how much they fooled themselves and are panicking and resorting to trying to hijack the people of Matabeleland’s Zambezi Water Project,” said the former Zipra military intelligence supremo.

Zapu promised freedom to the generality of Zimbabwe 50 years ago. The people of Zimbabwe were fooled by Zanu thugs to vote them in in 1980, little did they know that Liberation in the dictinary of Mugabe means empoverishing and exiling the majority and enriching a select few.
On the other hand, MDC who were twice mandeted by Zimbabweans to quarantine Mugabe seem to be bullied by a man they should have kicked out of office as early as 2002.
The people remebered their original roots, Zapu. The party that brought the first Black Consciousness that led to the defeat of colonialism. The people of Zimbabwe are now joining Zapu in unimagioned numbers. People rejected Zanu a decade ago but the weak and confused MDC which wasted a golden mandate has lost to the grandfather party of all Zimbabweans.
When you see a ballot box, Just vote Zapu and restore your country's dignity.
Remember Zapu had a fair land policy, equitable distribution where rich, poor, Black,White,MDC,Zanu,Zapu,Shona,Fengu,Ndebele,or Venda would get land, not only Zanu fat pigs.
Zimbabwe, according to Zapu belongs to all who live in it. Zanu believes that Zimbabwe belongs to Mugabe, his ministers and the armed thugs who prop him.
Evidence is clear for public inspection as today after 30 years all wealth is under that few armed gang. All else is chuff. DO NOT PANIC, JUST WAIT STEADILY TILL VOTE DAY AND PUT YOUR VOTE TO THE PARTY THAT WILL NOT HASITATE TO KICK MUGABE OUT TO FULFIL YOUR DRAEMS.
THINK ZAPU AND SHAME WEAK OPPORTUNISTS.
