A kombi ride summed up UK Ambassador Pete Vowles’ farewell to Zimbabwe: less protocol, more people. He says UK-Zimbabwe relations have moved from “shouting” to talking.

@takemo5 @obchigs Thank you!

What a privilege to meet my musical hero, Leonard Zvakata.

I’ve played his music in every kitchen, car journey and party of my life.

And today, I met the man himself.

@RidgemontM Sadly, that’s the life I chose as a civil servant!

[Pete Vowles @PeteVowles]

Tinoenda!

No doubt this man represents his country, the UK, in Zimbabwe with the dignity and diplomacy required. He engaged the communities of our country, Zimbabwe, with respect. I have no doubt that Harare and London will create good ground that will benefit both countries. @PeteVowles

[Pete Vowles @PeteVowles]

@obchigs I’m going back today. Sorry I’ve annoyed you.

[Dr Walter Mzembi @waltermzembi]

@PeteVowles You were a shining and humbling example of British Soft Power!

[Caston Matewu 🇿🇼 @cmatewu]

It’s been an honor to know you Pete, great personality and possibly the best ambassador to have graced Zimbabwe. I wish you well in your future’s endeavors. Thanks for everything

[Pete Vowles @PeteVowles]

Bye ❤️

@mhirapatoto Nzombe huru and hupenyu mutaro the best for sure!

[Pete Vowles @PeteVowles]

@Shona_Royalty Not fair; his music is still some of the best in the world. 😎

[Pete Vowles @PeteVowles]

Was brilliant!!

Outgoing UK ambassador Pete Vowles arrives at the King's Birthday Party celebrations in Harare. This marks the end of the tour of duty for Pete, who became a beloved face in Zimbabwe for his "homeboy" approach to diplomacy

In bits here but what a manager and, most importantly, what a human being. Changed everything, gave a club, community and people around it more than he can probably ever know. Just want the absolute best for him in everything that comes next.
