Now I used to think they were built for folk in wheelchairs or for the porters to push luggage down to one's car, but now I know they have not been built for either of these reasons. Those ramps were built with but one thing in mind ..... so that the fourteen thousand Comrades Runners can annually propel themselves gingerly and extremely painfully down the ramps after the Big Race !! The worlds greatest ultra-marathon, 90 kilometres long, the Comrades is a South African institution, internationally recognised for the body-sapping challenge it poses and the camaraderie it fosters among its thousands of participants. Run between the capital of the Kwazulu-Natal province, Pietermaritzburg, and the coastal city of Durban, the race alternates annually between the up run from Durban and the down run from Pietermaritzburg. The constitution of the race states that one of its primary aims is to 'celebrate mankinds spirit over adversity'. It is traditionally run on Youth Day in South Africa, but the city's community looks anything except youthful on the day after the race. !! Sandals are the order of the day on the day after Youth day, sandals and band aids !! And every second person you see is hobbling sideways down the stairs or heading slowly and excruciatingly for those life saving ramps. Our Little She Who Must Run ran again this year (most successfully I might add ) and she has been asked once more to write a little story on the race for an Australian Sports magazine. This year she has decided to entitle it "Issues needing Tissues" and she threatens to answer a lot of the questions that one always wants to ask but never dares... . questions like "Where and how exactly does a marathon runner go to the loo" Fortunately for the tourists and the residents the Sunshine City is miraculously cleaned up very quickly after race day! Can you just picture 14 thousand runners each consuming at least their body weight in liquid which is offered at the 50 water points, and a lot of the liquid is supplied in those little plastic super- cool sachets which have become the bane of Africa! One would think the city would have been buried under tons of those ghastly little sachets, thousands of banana peels, hundreds of orange skins and countless energade bottles, as well as the clothing that the runners discard along the way .... and .... ahem ... there must be a spot of toilet tissue here and there one would assume !! ..... but no, the Durban City fathers have that city sparkling clean within 24 hours !! Little She Who Must Run , bronze medal hung nonchalantly round her neck to show she was one of the sub eleven hour runners, was one of thousands who made sure she found every available ramp last Friday after race day. They tell me that their muscles are actually bleeding subcutaneously which is why they are so painful !! Now, being a couch potato and armchair sportsman, I just cannot come to grips with this strange desire to inflict intense pain on oneself. The consumption of analgesics applied both internally and externally in Durban on race day, rises tenfold and analgesic poisoning is common as some of these intrepid athletes pop pills every few hours to dull the excruciating pain in their overworked limbs !! I quote Fred Kockott of the Sunday Tribune "It could be a war zone, but there's no blood. Stretcher bearers swarm the place. Drips hang from coarse sisal string. Below them lie a growing number of the "wounded". Some appear comatose. Others' faces are contorted in agony. Some try to vomit, but nothing comes out. Forty-five doctors are on duty, assisted by 25 nurses, 100 stretcher bearers and assistants and several laboratory technicians. Adjacent to this makeshift hospital is a hi-tech operations centre. Here, incident commander Charlton Campbell is co-ordinating emergency rescue services. Through the Global Positioning System (GPS), the movement of more than 20 ambulances, life support units and paramedics on motorbikes, is monitored. The data captured is translated on to a large map spread across four tables. Red, blue and green plastic chips are the vehicles out in the field. Besides assisting in natural disasters these medical and emergency rescue operations represent the biggest temporary, peacetime medical effort in the world. But unlike disasters, where victims are people caught in the wrong place at the wrong time - or armed conflicts, where people are purposefully attacked - these operations cater for people whose medical complaints and injuries are self-inflicted. The victims are participants in what is billed the ultimate human race - South Africa's Comrades Marathon. Among the 14 000 participants are hundreds who collapse at the end of, or during the marathon. What precisely causes some people to collapse, and others not to, is under investigation in a research laboratory attached to the makeshift hospital. Extreme exertion would be the layman's simple answer - bodies are not meant to sustain damage caused by running 89km non-stop." unquote But as crazy as they may seem to us of lesser self discipline, you have to give all these crazy runners the most generous salutations. To see such amazing zeal, such incredible determination, such unbelievable tenacity in so many people who pound the pavements on Race Day for up to 12 hours, after an horrifying training regime of thousands and thousands of training hours, our hearts go out to them in the desire to "be the best." The pain, the passion the profound perfection, they desire to achieve, watching their agony mile after mile after mile, is a lesson to us all that excellence can be achieved if you really want it badly enough. Well done indeed to all Comrades Runners, you were all incredible, especially My Josie. +++++++++++ NOTICES THE GOD WHO HEARS THE CRY OF THE OPPRESSED Christians Together for Justice and Peace Praying for the Nation Saturday 25th JUNE 2005 10 a.m. ST MARYS CATHEDRAL UN VICTIMS OF TORTURE DAY +++++ A guided tour of 15 German tourists / steam train enthusiasts will be in Bulawayo on 4th - 8th July 2005.

Further details may be obtained from the NRZ Railway Museum tel 322452 Many thanks Mike Taylor 286125 +++++++ I write on behalf of the "WAY CLINIC" which is run by the Church of the Ascension in Hillside. We see and treat mostly destitute people from the surrounding areas, but also treat others who are working for a very modest fee. The Clinic exists entirely from generous donations from all the Hillside Churches and many other good and generous people. We are staffed by voluntary helpers, both professional and lay, who give up their time once a week to come and help. We have a patient named Annie Ngwenya who is grossly marginalized, both financially and physically. She has a very high blood pressure, and awful arthritis in one hip as a result of a partial hip- replacement for a fractured hip which was done some years ago. She is also under nourished and depressed. She is also a "isigebenga" as at times she defaults her treatment, which I think is simply because she finds it too painful to walk with her now old and worn - out elbow-crutch. Is there anyone 'out there' who has had a hip replacement successfully and has one (or even two) elbow crutch. We will even consider buying a second hand one. I can be contacted on Cell Number 091 301668. You can also contact Dot Page on number 091 3889191/242704 or Pat Trollip on 011 411916/244305. Viv Bancroft ++++++++ RHODESIAN-ZIMBABWEAN WORLDWIDE REUNION SUNDAY 6 - SUNDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2005 DURBAN - SOUTH AFRICA Our once small community of Rhodesians-Zimbabweans have now spread throughout the world, and one of the greatest challenges facing the various Rhodesian- Zimbabwean Associations is how to keep our global community together. To achieve this we are committed to the following aims and activities: - to assist globally those Rhodesians-Zimbabweans who are less fortunate and in need; - to preserve our heritage, our history and memorabilia for the world to see; and - to arrange for Rhodesians-Zimbabweans to continue meeting each other socially. To do this, several associations in Durban, RSA, namely, the Rhodesia Association of South Africa (Durban Branch) (incorporated in The Flame Lily Foundation); the Rhodesian Army Association (Natal); the Rhodesian Air Force Association, and the BSAP Regimental Association (Natal), have combined to form an alliance called the 'Shamwari Trust'. The Trust is working towards achieving the above aims, with a 'Worldwide Reunion' of all Rhodesians and Zimbabweans in November 2005 being one of the projects. The Shamwari Trust saw the need for a gathering of all Rhodesian- Zimbabweans and their associations, so it is planned that Durban would host the worldwide event, as we are able to offer reasonable terms of travel, accommodation and other tourist facilities to our overseas and local visitors. All Rhodesians - Zimbabweans are invited to attend this reunion. It is envisaged that the various regimental associations including BSAP; SAS; RLI, Selous Scouts, RAF, schools and other associations will all hold their individual functions for their members during this week. The highlights of these celebrations will be a Grand Dinner, with guest speakers, prominent personalities and guest artists, and a Remembrance Day Parade. We will acknowledge all Rhodesian-Zimbabwean prominent personalities, including our sporting greats. During the course of the week, golf and other sporting functions will also be arranged to cater for everyone wishing to participate. Please return your completed questionnaires as soon as possible as we need the information urgently to work out the logistics of the seating, accommodation, bookings of functions, etc. We impress upon you, this is urgent. otherwise things may go wrong at planning thus spoiling it for those not catered for. The proposed Package Tours will be for two weeks: those attending the Reunion can spend the first week at the reunion and the second week on holiday in South Africa and/or Zimbabwe. Trips to various holiday destinations in the second week will be dependent on the demand for destinations such as Victoria Falls, Kariba and other places of interest. This Reunion will focus on a lifetime of old memories where friends will meet, perhaps for the last time, to celebrate great friendships made in the wonderful country loved by us all. All we need is everyone's support to make this a special, memorable Grand Event! Further information will be distributed, as it becomes available. In order to gauge your support, you are asked to urgently contact Rob Bristow on email rhozim@mweb.co.za; Fax +27 (0)31-2671542; Tel +27 (0)31-2660836 or 7 Barham Rd, Westville, Kwazulu Natal, 3610 +++++++ Hall ideally suitable for private functions of up to 80 people, available for use.

Boldly proclaimed on the box was the fact that the heater is totally submersible but after forking out a quarter of a million and putting it in my tank, it lasted for a week and filled up with water. What is worse the proprietor of this establishment refused point blank to refund or replace the heater. So to all don't be duped as I was. Another warning. To those walking around the Suburbs area between 7th st and the Harare Rd and even right up to George avenue be careful, several incidents of mugging have occurred there even in Broad daylight. There seems to be a gang in the area that operates sometimes in twos and sometimes in a larger group. ++++ "You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself."
