Statement regarding Senator David Coltart’s visit to the UK 18th to the 23rd July 2010

By Senator David Coltart

17 July 2010

I will be travelling to the United Kingdom from the 18th to the 23rd July 2010 primarily to attend and speak at a conference organised by the Council for Education in the Commonwealth and the Link Community Development Trust which will focus on the challenges faced by Zimbabwe’s education sector.

During this period I will also be meeting a few British Ministers and will have a variety of interviews with the British media including a live interview with Adam Boulton on Sky at 12.30 pm on Sunday the 18th July 2010, a recorded interview on BBC Hardtalk on Monday the 19th July 2010 and a live interview on the “Today” programme at 8 am on the 22nd July. I will advise when the Hardtalk interview will be screened.

Steve Blunden of Link Community Development Trust is coordinating the visit and can be contacted on steve@lcd.org.za for further details.
