Multi-faceted institutions of Afrikan Heritage Community Repair in Bristol

Zenzele Village is an initiative that seeks to build functional multi-faceted institutions of Afrikan
Heritage Community Repair in Bristol. This intergenerational land and community self-repair initiative brings together the three pillars of the Bristol Pempamsie Reparations Plan/Mpango (B-PREP): Pan-Afrikan Holistic Health, Pan-Afrikan Education for Liberation and Cooperative Economics for a political (Nation Building) Economy. It will include land for agricultural and other purposes and as well as working in partnership and adding value to existing community assets that serve Afrikan Heritage Communities.

‘Zenzele’ In Zulu & Xhosa means ‘Do it Yourself’, ‘Be Your Own Helper’, ‘Self-Reliance’.
This encompasses the ethos of what we are trying to do and the training, education and advocacy work that will inform its development. To resource ZV we seek the return of Afrikan Heritage resources from those who wish to atone for their unjust enrichment due to their historical ties to the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Afrikans and the contemporary negative impact on the descendants of these Ancestors.
