The evening of Zimbabwe Day gets under way at 7.30pm with a talk and discussion about the current situation. Our special guest is Dr Tawanda Alex Magaisa, Political Analyst and Law Lecturer at the University of Kent. Dr Magaisa is a highly respected observer of the Zimbabwean scene – and, as a member of neither the MDC nor ZANU-PF, he’s well placed to talk on “The Inclusive Government of Zimbabwe: Key challenges & ways forward”. Also on the panel is Gizella Hughes, Area Manager of the Immigration Advisory Service in Bristol, who will speak on the UK Border Agency’s immigration & asylum policy towards Zimbabweans.
