Walk with WOZA on World Refugee Day
Life for many Zimbabweans is the life of refugees. Stripped of rights that protect our nationhood we at home go without from day to day. And the regime responds by telling us to become social and economic exiles, asking you to send money home, which will fund their ongoing campaign to keep us `resident refugees'. WOZA (Women of Zimbabwe Arise) will be marking world refugee day on Saturday 19th June by gathering to demand cause for hope.

WOZA (Women of Zimbabwe Arise) SAYS
Life for many Zimbabweans is the life of refugees. Stripped of rights that
protect our nationhood we at home go without from day to day. And the regime
responds by telling us to become social and economic exiles, asking you to
send money home, which will fund their ongoing campaign to keep us `resident
refugees'.
WOZA will be marking world refugee day on Saturday 19th June by gathering to
demand cause for hope. 'Resident refugees' will risk arrest and assault to
march.

'GONO URGES LOCALS TO WORK ABOARD'
"The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is now encouraging Zimbabweans to work in the
diaspora because of their foreign exchange generation potential which
exceeds that of any other economic sector," said the governor, Dr Gideon
Gono ,at a public lecture at the Midlands State University in May 2004. He
said the export of human labour would be encouraged as the brain drain has a
lot of potential in terms of generating foreign exchange for the country if
the money came through official channels. Gono went on to say: "The brain
drain is our export. We should encourage Zimbabweans to take up posts
outside."
Ask yourself how they can ignore the suffering of millions and fly abroad to
ask for your forex.. WOZA calls on non-resident refugees - 1.3 million in
the United Kingdom, 1.5 million in South Africa, those in the United States
and other countries - to resist being duped out of hard-earned cash. Your
money will not go towards creating hope but into buying votes, using food
and propaganda to try and convince us we are not oppressed and life is worth
living. Vast amounts will be spent rigging the 2005 election to make people
think we voted in a leadership of our choosing and have reason to lie back
and be optimistic
WOZA says ZVAKWANA - SOKWANELE - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
