The Forum of Zimbabweans in the diaspora says it has begun organising its members to help solve some of the humanitarian problems in Zimbabwe. At least 80% of Zimbabweans live below the poverty line. The forum celebrated the country's 26th independence anniversary by holding a meeting in Johannesburg yesterday.
It discussed the need for its members to begin contributing to the development of their country. The move has also been prompted by the split in the opposition MDC. Daniel Molokele, a Johannesburg-based Zimbabwean human rights lawyer, says it is difficult for any country to assist.
"It is not really possible for South Africa or any other country in the world, which has an interest in Zimbabwe to really support the initiative because there's nothing on the grounds except conflict and confusion. Zimbabweans who have left the country are beginning to organise themselves around the civic society formations to address our problems. We want to create an alternative to the divided opposition parties," he said.
