CIVIL rights campaigners from Southampton are lobbying for African politicians to hold free and fair elections in Zimbabwe.

The city’s Restoration of Human Rights (ROHR) branch will meet from noon-5pm on Saturday, in Lordshill Community Centre, Andromeda Road.

They will draw up an action plan urging leaders to uphold transparency and accountability at the forthcoming vote which must take place before Wednesday, July 31 in the south African country.
