We have gone from the cheapest place in the World to live, to now easily the most expensive place in the World to live, and we have only ourselves to blame. We seem to think that because we have all held out so long here in Zimbabwe, against all odds, that now Zimbabwe and everyone who is left owes us a favour. The whole country except maybe some poor unfortunate workers who are getting ripped off by their employers, is now operating in foreign currency in one form or another. Since we are now dealing in foreign currency we need to throw away our mindset that we pick up our calculators and start hitting the 0's to calculate what we are now going to pass on to the next person. In the rest of the world, investors are lucky to get 10% a year on their money, possibly a good business that can rotate its product every month, might achieve close to 100%. Here everyone who hears that someone , knows someone, that might need something, adds their 30 or 40% to the commodity before it gets to the person who is finally stupid enough to buy it, and this disease is spreading. We are even beginning to hurt ourselves across the borders, because some businesses there are realizing just how stupid us Zimbabweans are at parting with our money, and are increasing their prices there as well. By the time it hits our streets its more than 3 times the value of what it actually costs in SA.. You will also notice, the smallest denomination we use is R10 or USD1, there is a lot of change in between if you put a value to it, in SA , you could get 2 loaves of bread for R10. Silver doesn't exist. Most people in the country who are trading in one form or another are literally doubling their foreign currency every week or turnaround, that puts their profits into the 1000% in less than a year, its not a wonder that people and businesses outside the country are looking at sending money and commodities on credit to their friends and families still here to sell. They can invest their money much better that way. I know that I am painting everyone with the same brush here, there are exceptions, but they are few are far between, and to them I apologize, but we need to all pull together to stop this rot. Its time that Import Parity and competition stepped in, be realistic, it is real money we are now dealing with no longer the useless paper that we have had in the past. The value does not change overnight like it used to, as with our Zim dollar which could triple overnight, it is the same real money that our friends and neighbours have been using next door for years, and it hardly moves. Another thing while I am about it, guys stop being so quick to flick between US and Rand. When you are charging for labour you are inclined to charge in US, because it gives the impression that it is 10 times less than Rand. I personally had a 7 minute mechanical job done for me the other day, and it cost USD 50, hey that is R500. This is more than a Brain Surgeon charges for a 15 minute consultation, and the job was done by a spanner boy. Yes, I'm guilty I was part of the rot, but the job had been done, and I was stupid enough not to get a quote before hand, so I paid. What about bribing to get things done, I know its a schlep, and we all do it, but lets all try not to wherever possible. You may be interested to know that it works, I took a personal stand the other day, when I was caught talking on a cell phone whilst driving. I had to go to court, because I refused to pay a bribe. 2 weeks later I appeared in court, where once again I was given the option by the Court Officials and the Policemen to pay R300 and my problem would disappear, I can tell you that by then because of the time wasting, I was ready to, but I did not. After about 3 hrs, I stood before the magistrate and was given a Z$ 20 fine ( worth about R,0001 ) at the time, or an option to do 10 days in Jail. I naturally opted for the fine, but felt like asking if the food was free for the 10 days because it might have been an option! Someone in the Fines office did benefit because the smallest note that was in circulation at the time was about $1000, and I did not wait for my change. Guys it can be done, Its not the Government or the Fat Cats we can blame here anymore, its ourselves, we are making our own Fat Cats, lets all try to stop this rot, if someone is ripping it, tell them, and if its you, stop it, even if we have to embarrass each other in public, lets do so, so that we can get back to some sort of normality and at least get value for our hard earned foreign currency. The most adaptable people in the world us Zimbabweans have managed to survive against all sorts of odds, to get to this stage, and everyone out there is cheering us on and ready to support us, as has been evident with the fantastic support of our old folk, in these dying moments, lets not lose sight of the bigger picture, by stabbing ourselves in the back.

Louise was a long time resident of Bulawayo and moved to New Zealand 6 years ago. She fought a brave and courageous battle with illness for the last 5 months. David, Beryl, Kimberley and Mathew (Patumahoe, New Zealand) dave@earthcocivil. com ++++++++ Dearest Toni, David, Ben and Erin Our love thoughts and prayers are with you. Patrick was a truly special person, an inspiration to us all. Bulawayo was privileged to have known such a great man, an immeasurable loss. With love to you, Toni, and your 3 beautiful children, Murray, Caroline and Aidan Osborne Tony and Cynthia Osborne Harry and Kathy Kew Murray & Caroline Osborne osborne@yoafrica. com +++++++++ Patrick Mann To Toni and your 3 lovely children. We were so sorry to hear that one of Bulawayo's greatest people has been taken from us so soon. Toni, words cannot begin to express how sad we feel for you and your family, Patrick was such a wonderful, funny and kind person. He will be missed by a great many people, and we hope and pray that you are able to be strong and get through this difficult time. I know that everyone holds a special memory of Paddy to take with them and his life will be celebrated a great deal. Our thoughts are with you Toni, and again we are so sorry. Lots of love, Nicky, Mitch, Nicholas and Kieran McNab, Chelmsford, UK nixmcnab@talktalk. net ++++++++++ PATRICK MANN It is so sad that it has to take the death of a very special person in the Bulawayo Community to bring about the formation of a wake to end all wakes. Patrick's funeral was held on the 8th green of the Bulawayo Country Club, and hundreds of mourners made their way across the verdant fields of the Gold Course, to be with the Family on a very sad day in the lives of so many. Bulawayo, nay Matabeleland, nay Zimbabwe, will be the poorer from the passing of Patrick and although it was a sad occasion, it brought heart and hope to the many people who turned out to bid him farewell. A gathering of this size and stature has not been seen in Bulawayo for many years. The rain held off until very late, (which Patrick had no doubt arranged) but rain to a Matabele is the ultimate gift. Our love to Toni and the Children and to Patrick's family who gathered from all over the world and our thanks to Des and Patrick's "mates" for bringing us all together. Rest in Peace. +++++++++ HOLMES - Herbert Alexander Geddes - "Bunny" Bunny Holmes passed away peacefully on Thursday, 29 January, 2009 in Hampshire, UK at age 91 years. Dearly loved husband of Marge for 62 years, devoted and much loved father of Betty, Marilyn and Colleen, much admired father in law of Gavin Chisholm and David Eldridge, adored grandfather of Nicola and Neal, Heidi and Blair, Glenn and Jo, Kerry Lee and Ed and Greg. Great grandfather "Flops" to Fergus, Caleb, (Lincoln), Felix, Asha, Alexander and Macklin. The heart of our family he will be sorely missed and as his 5 year old great grand-daughter said after returning from a recent visit to Hampshire - "Flops is the best grampa ever, he keeps heaps of chocolate hidden in his cupboard, he lets us eat as much as we like and NEVER EVER tells!"

Why not start a " RESOLUTION REVOLUTION " with everyone making , and keeping for ever , the same one ? I WILL BE KIND TO ALL ANIMALS . It is with regret that the SPCA reports some recent cases of cruelty to dogs , cruelty caused by FIREWORKS apparently set off by bored schoolchildren . An injured and terrified German Shepherd dog was brought to the SPCA KENNELS from Coghlan Avenue , Kumalo after it had damaged a tendon while trying to scratch its way into the house in order to escape the noise from fireworks . In a tragic case , 3 out of 4 Great Dane puppies died of shock after being exposed to a nearby display of fireworks . Following a report by a concerned neighbour , an SPCA Inspector went to a house in Barham Green . A mongrel bitch and her puppies had been traumatised by the continuous noise from fireworks down the road . The owner was away at work so they desperately sought shelter in a cottage on the premises . The cottage occupants , however , kept beating the animals to prevent them from coming inside , which is when the SPCA was called in . The " bright sparks " ( pun intended ) who seem to have " money to burn " ( another pun ! ) , do not know that it is AGAINST THE MUNICIPAL BYE - LAWS TO LET OFF FIREWORKS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA . Be a CONSCIENTIOUS CITIZEN ........... report to the SPCA anyone who recklessly uses fireworks and , in so doing , CAUSES DISTRESS TO ANIMALS .
