Zimbabweans in South Africa will on Saturday mark Zimbabwe's Independence anniversary with protests targeted at South African President Jacob Zuma to force him to speed up the mediating talks on Zimbabwe.
President Zuma was appointed by the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) as facilitator for talks to solve the Zimbabwe political crisis.
Chairman of the Global coordinator for the 21 st Movement organising the protests, Den Moyo, said in a press release on Wednesday, Zuma had failed to hold Mugabe accountable to the Global Political Agreement (GPA).
"It is as if we are back to the quiet diplomacy of President Mbeki, now being perfected by President Zuma," said Moyo who criticised Zuma's recent calls for Zimbabweans to be patient through the facilitation spokesperson, Lindiwe Zulu.
Other protests will take place in Washington DC, London and Australia.
In London MDC Midlands South District is joining hands with the Vigil, which holds protests outside the Zimbabwean Embassy every Saturday, to lead a demonstration that will culminate in presenting a petition to Prime Minister David Cameron.
The UK demonstrators will be calling on Cameron to use the UK's position on the Security Council to ensure that the next election in Zimbabwe is free and fair.
