justice in Zimbabwe.
iii. The group discussions managed to facilitate
the fleshing out of key issues on transitional
justice that should be included in the
transitional justice policy for civil society. Key
issues were identified and these will be used to
come up with the Transitional Justice policy for
civil society.
iv. The site visits in Bulawayo and some on the
outskirts ensured that there was a level of
solidarity shown for victims and survivors of
Gukurahundi and other violations.
v. The Symposium was beamed across the
world on social media platforms such as twitter,
Facebook and a dedicated website for the
Symposium. Zimbabweans in the diaspora, at
home and the international community had a
chance to beam into live streams of the event
and share in the discussions. This was noted
from the feedback through tweets sent in to
31
panellists. The radio interviews conducted by
the NPRC with the civil society leaders were
also key in sharing the message on transitional
justice in Zimbabwe.
vi. The closing in of bridges/differences was
important because of the meeting was
important. Key interlocutors now know each
other more and it removes any suspicions,
differences or perceptions that might have been
present.
vii. International partners were given a chance
to take part in the proceedings and this gave
them a chance to understand what civil society
is working on in terms of transitional justice in
Zimbabwe. Linkages were created with
institutions from all over the world such as
Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Switzerland, EU
countries and the African Union. These linkages
are important for resource mobilisation as well
as ensuring that the issue of transitional justice
in Zimbabwe has international ambassadors.
