Why this petition matters
Started by P Simemezah
- ZIMFEST is an event held annually towards end of summer, and attracts Zimbabweans in Diaspora from UK and many places in the world, like Australia and Japan, among others. It has become a yearly event for many families and communities, hence the reason for the petition.
- Attendants, once in, are not allowed out. Those who have medical challenges eg diabetes patients, who may have forgotten their medication; will be exposed to risk, or lose their place in the festival. Some who have eating preferences different to ZIMFEST's are exposed to expensive foods which they may not afford, simply because they have already paid an exorbitant entrance fee, or are not recommended because of their medical conditions. Parking fees should also be included in this expensive fee.
- Water or food is not allowed into the event, yet there are queues to the event. Given the recent heatwaves, this exposes people to risk .
- If the event could only be streamlined to be like UK-wide events which are family accommodative and affordable, this would help the target population facing unfair treatment in this case.
