The turn out was overwhelming considering the fact that most Zimbabweans were spending time with friends and families during the long Easter weekend. Those that made it showed their love and support for their country.<BR/>Innocent, you very well know that when we started MDC Toronto, we were about 6-7 members and I am happy to say that our numbers have grown to over 100. <BR/>Some have given up on that cause but some we are still committed.<BR/>This is our first Demo and for a first demo, I am happy to say that we did very well.Like you said there are thousands of Zimbabweans in Toronto who are waiting to see how serious we are. Dambudzo Marechera walked from UZ to Cecil Square alone. The Indonesian students that overthrew Suhartu started demonstating when they were 10 but eventually it turned out into a nationwide protest and history was made in Indonesia. So numbers or no numbers the most important thing is that WE DELIVERED THE MESSAGE.<BR/>The banners and posters said it all and history lessons were given, remember we were targeting Canadians that had little or not idea of what was going on.<BR/>A passer by read the banner I was holding and started asking quetions that told me that he was ignorant of the hman right abuse in Zimbabwe. <BR/> <BR/>There is absolutely nothing wrong with the executive meeting socially since we always meet for business. Sometimes we can not meet at the library and sometimes we will need to chant songs and slogans so we meet at a venue provided by an executive member.If we were a social club then we would have invited people to meet socially at a social club but our social gatherings have only been for the executives.<BR/> <BR/>Ishe Komborerai Africa is a song that's like Africa's song that both Ndebele's and Shona's can sing very well and South Africans. I don't speak bndebele but I can sing that anthem in Ndebele probably better than a Ndebele.<BR/>I hate media and journalists for one thing " fabrication" but i still love u as a friend.
