This rain, this glorious rain !! Our dams are filling, our spirits are filling, our hearts are filling !! But our glorious potholes also need filling !! So come on Bulawayo ......, until the Council manages to raise enough funds to fill those potholes, lets have a pothole competition !! Which is your favourite potholed road ? Mine was Robert Mugabe and 12th Avenue, until some kind soul fed the hungry lion with bricks !! There was a glorious pothole outside Townsend School on Phillips Drive, until some Good Samaritan filled it with sand....ooh. ... that was a beauty... that one was responsible for a number of shredded tyres and shattered rims .... An authentic mealie plant is actually growing in a very special pothole on Stour Road, and I am sure you have your preposterous pothole preambles for all of us to share ? Potholing in some countries is a sport, maybe we should invite some celebratory world potholers to visit us for some really enchanting expeditions. In the meanwhile HeeHoo is busy working on a periscope for me as my car (like my undercarriage) is rather low slung, and I keep having to borrow his 4 x 4 to even be able to see the potholes before I am immersed in them. The periscope will also be useful (It emerges triumphantly from the car via the sunroof ) to see over the long grass on the roadside verges !! The Byo-Beitbridge Road too is horrendous. We lost a rim, a tyre and a lot of money on having to purchase not one but 4 new tyres in South Africa, when we hit a beautemous pothole 10 kms on the Zim side of Beitbridge !! Send your pothole competition entries to magskriel@mac. com ++++++++++++ +++ 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH Our City Dams have received significant inflow ... Mother Nature kept us waiting till the very last minute it would appear !! supply dams are looking quite exciting considering they were nearly all totally empty. Insiza (Mayfair) is probably spilling by now hopefully ! However this dam feeds the City by gravity and is slow to send water to the City. Umzingwane is 29.3 % full. Inyankuni is 28.3 % full Upper Ncema is 60.1 % full Lower Ncema is 19.2 % full. However we have had further rains since these figures were released. The carrying capacity of the five dams us 362.6 million cubic metres and presently they are holding 226.3 million cubic meters. City of Bulawayo will however continue to to experience water shedding because of the high cost of water treatment chemicals. ++++++++++++ ++++ 3) NOTICES BULAWAYO FLORAL GROUP.

The first is tomorrow, Friday 18 January at the National Gallery at 5.30 p.m. and the second Saturday 19 January at Mpopoma High School at 2.00 p.m. The recently arrived American Ambassador will be present at both concerts. There is no admission charge but donations will be welcome! The performers will include Susan Moyo (guitar and voice), Brian Hartman (guitar), Nathaniel Ngwenya (guitar), Savannah Plaskitt (violin), Christopher Mkhize (recorder), Lauren Meikle (flute), Shirley Jerrard (oboe), Rosemary Green (piano), Jill Wild (piano), the ZAM Marimba Band, the Pasichigare Mbira Ensemble, Mkande Mbakumba Drum and Dance and the Afro Jazz Guitar Trio. We're not sure how news of these concerts reached Daniel Pearl's family but the following message was received via an intermediary earlier today: A statement from Ruth and Judea Pearl, parents of Daniel Pearl, for the Bulawayo concerts Thanks for writing to us about the incredible concerts that are being organised in Bulawayo, January 18th and 19th, which you have so kindly dedicated to the memory of our son, Daniel Pearl. Words cannot describe our appreciation to the musicians and all the organisers for putting these concerts together, and for letting us know that the legacy of our son will empower the people of Bulawayo with unity and purpose during this period of hardship and anxiety. We can see Danny looking down on Bulawayo, listening to the music that will soon emerge from the stage, and saying to himself: "If my short journey to this planet, with my laptop and my mandolin can bring hopes and inspirations to the good people of Bulawayo, despite all the horrors that they have seen and all the hardships that they are going through, then perhaps I was not completely mistaken in wanting to believe that man is not a predator to other men, but a brother, a kindred spirit, and perhaps I was right in believing, till the final moment of my life, that Mozart will triumph over barbarity and humanity will prevail." Your concert today is not an ordinary a concert but a resounding tenor in a global chorus that rings the earth for sanity and humanity. We hear your music and we echo your courage with simple, yet unyielding promise: Mozart will triumph and humanity will prevail. Judea and Ruth Pearl Daniel Pearl Foundation Los Angeles, California ++++++++++++ ++++ 4) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES In early December my daughter sent me 3 cd's ordered from amazon for my birthday. In early Jan I received a call from ups in Harare advising me that any parcel with a value exceeding usd10 had to be detained. I was advised to appoint a clearing agent - recommended City Clearing Services - and pay $50m for the appointment in addition to a detention fee of $80m (which the agent would settle) together with duty on GBP 50,61. On querying the unjustified detention charge I was told that as there was no telephone number on the parcel and there were delays in looking up the directory and being able to phone me. I then indicated I was not prepared to pay these huge amounts, and that I would contact my daughter, thank her for her kind gift and explain why I would not be in a position to accept it and that it would be returned to her. On Wed 16 Jan I received another call from ups advising me of the detained parcel. I told them that they had already contacted me, that I was not prepared to pay around 140 million for 3 cd's and that they should return the parcel to my daughter. At this stage I'm afraid I lost it, told them I would be writing to 'the paper' and hung up. I made enquiries of ZIMRA who advised that we are entitled to a monthly rebate of usd75 for gifts, they had not heard of ups or detentions and suggested I see Zimpost. They in turn could only advise that their procedure was to notify the recipient of a parcel received together with duty payable, if any. They had no knowledge of UPS or the fees mentioned. Your readers may be interested in reading of my experiences - I had considered contacting tip-offs anonymous but feel this is not the type of corruption they have in mind. I also believe that the non-return of the parcel amounts to theft. Thanks for hearing me out, please let me know how I pay for the e-mail Best regards Greg Germanis ++++++++++++ ++++ 5) CONGRATULATIONS Loving congratulations to Neil and Sue Todd on their Golden Wedding Anniversary. A couple who have earned the love and deep respect from virtually the entire Bulawayo Community. +++++++++ Happy Birthday Eve Birchel 21 again !! ++++++++++++ ++++ 6) CONDOLENCES DEATHS DIXON - BARBARA Dearly loved Wife and Mum of Bobby and Lisa.

We have many, many washing machines, refrigerators and deep freezes which have been brought to us over the years and cannot be repaired. Several of these items have been left by the owners who promised to source spares themselves, and did not do so. We also have items for which we have been asked to find spares, have been unable to source them, and then find that the owners are not contactable. We are aware that many people have left the country and have probably either forgotten to collect their items or notify us, or have just decided to leave them. However, we can't be used any longer as a free storage facility. PLEASE, if you know that you have brought something for repair which needs imported spares, and that we haven't been able to find them, arrange to have the item collected or contact us and tell us what to do with it. Please remember to bring the slip which was issued to you when the item was brought for repair, as proof that it belongs to you. If you know of a relative or friend who left something with us before leaving the country, please let us know.

The loofahs used in the soaps, grow wild off the tender clinging vine - the luffa aegyptiaca - in the lowveld and the Zambezi Valley. They are handpicked by villagers who live in these remote areas, and are delivered to us from as far as 500kms by various modes of transport. The loofahs are then sun dried, peeled, washed, de-seeded and dried again. Hand selection takes place in selecting the correct size loofah to fit the mould. The soap is made using high percentages of natural oils which are poured over each loofah. We wait for the soaps to set and then each is individually removed from the mould and trimmed and polished by hand. The wrapping and packing process takes place by hand. We believe that this is what makes our product so unique - you really have a piece of Africa in your hands. Enjoy our products they are naturally a part of Africa. At present the range consists of: - Loofah Soaps Glycerin Soaps Exotic Bath Soaks Sugar Bath Cubes Endangered Guest Soaps Not forgetting our unique Earthchild Eau de Parfum Which come in six exciting African inspired fragrances - Zambezi Wild Berry - Zambezi Rain Forest - Marula and Jojoba Oil - Baobab and Tea Tree Oil - Rose Oil and Apricot -----soon to be replaced by African Love flower. - Savannah Aloe E MAIL afearthworks@ mweb.co.zw ++++++ Boarding available for out of town students.
