The Britain Zimbabwe Society (BZS) was formed in 1981, shortly after Zimbabwe independence, to support people-to-people links between Britain and Zimbabwe. The BZS is a voluntary organisation that hosts public programmes, publishes the Zimbabwe Review quarterly magazine, and organises an annual Research Day covering topics relevant to Zimbabwe. Recent events have included the Zimbabwean Book Fair in London and arts celebrations. The BZS provides a space for both Zimbabweans in the UK and British people interested in Zimbabwe to connect, share knowledge, and discuss contemporary issues. Membership is open to the general public. The society operates online and in-person events and is a valuable resource for staying connected with developments in Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe Review archive is available freely online. If you are interested in Zimbabwe from an academic, cultural, or personal perspective, the BZS offers a welcoming community and a wealth of information about the country past and present.
