Zimbabwe, a country known for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and resilient communities, is home to a thriving Round Table association that continues to make a significant impact. Round Table Zimbabwe (RT Zim) carries forward a long-standing tradition of fellowship and service, having existed in some form long before the official formation of its national association. Previously, its clubs were part of the Association of Round Tables in Central Africa (ARTCA) before becoming an independent entity, aligning with the evolving regional structure of Round Table International.

In recent years, RT Zimbabwe has gained regional and international recognition for its outstanding community service projects, including the “Rainbow Children Village”, which provides support to vulnerable children, and the “Jail ‘n’ Bail” initiative, a creative fundraising effort that brings the community together for a good cause. With a strong commitment to making a difference, RT Zimbabwe continues to grow, inspiring its members to adopt, adapt, and improve while strengthening its role in both local and international Round Table networks.

Rainbow Children’s Village

Rainbow Children’s Village is a landmark legacy project developed through a partnership between Round Table Zimbabwe and the Meikles Foundation. It was created to serve as a transitional home—a safe, supportive halfway house—for children recovering from cancer treatment. The facility provides a nurturing environment where young patients and their caregivers can stay during the critical recovery period between hospital discharge and returning home, particularly for families who live far from treatment centers.

What makes this project especially meaningful to the Tabling community is the personal investment made by Round Table Zimbabwe. In support of this initiative, Round Table gave up its national clubhouse, allowing the site to be cleared for the construction of the Rainbow Children’s Village. This powerful act of service and legacy underscores the Table’s deep commitment to creating long-term impact for vulnerable children in Zimbabwe.

Rondel

The current RT Zimbabwe Rondel, updated to the current RTI standard, features the Zimbabwe Bird as the charge. The outer border features segments in green, yellow, and red, which, together with the black and white of the rondel, make up all of the five colours of the National Flag of Zimbabwe.

The stone-carved Zimbabwe Bird is the national emblem of Zimbabwe. It appears on the national flags and coats of arms of both Zimbabwe and the former Rhodesia, as well as on banknotes and coins—first on the Rhodesian pound, and later on the Rhodesian dollar. The bird likely represents either the bateleur eagle or the African fish eagle. Its design is based on a series of soapstone sculptures (shown here) discovered in the ruins of the medieval city of Great Zimbabwe.

The RT Zimbabwe rondel is an example of a national flag faithfully being translated to a Round Table rondel, making the most of the national identity while creating a unique RT identity.

History

Who doesn’t know the Melman, Julien, Alex, Skipper, and the other heroes of Madagascar? The great movie with the cartoon animals is not the only amazing product of Madagascar, they also have a Round Table association. In 1995, Round Table France chartered Round Table Madagascar. Round Table Madagascar believes that serving its community is a way of life. Over the years, tremendous effort and funds have been invested in projects that target the less vulnerable in society.

Previous Version:

The original rondel for RT Madagascar is not too different from the current one, save for the design of the King.

History

The first Table in Seychelles was chartered by Round Table Eastern Africa as its ARTEA 22. The RTEA rondel was given a shilouette of a coco de mer — the fruit that would eventually become the main symbol of Round Table Seychelles. This same table would become RT 2 of Round Table Indian Ocean, until it formed part of an new Seychelles Association.

When ARTIO was created it became MRT1, SRT2,MRT3, PRT4 existed for a short while. Was a table based on praslin that unfortunately never outgrew the island.

Rondel

The RT Seychelles rondel is a localized version of the traditional Round Table logo, incorporating the Coco de Mer—a unique and iconic seed native to the Seychelles—as its central symbol. The Coco de Mer, known for its distinctive shape and rarity, represents the unique natural identity of the Seychelles.

Unlike many national Round Tables, RTSA operates across multiple countries, including South Africa, Namibia, and Lesotho, fostering a unique cross-border camaraderie that strengthens its impact.

With a strong emphasis on fellowship, hands-on charity work, and leadership progression, ARTSA has built a reputation for organizing some of the most engaging and well-attended Round Table events, both regionally and internationally.
