1) Editorial



Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:-

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
And some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet,
Just in case you have to eat them.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
"Recalled" by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
It was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
Because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.
* When everything's coming your way,
You're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world,
But you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Borrowed from an unknown source thank you.

ALLIANCE FRAN AISE DE BULAWAYO presents
LIVE JAZZ / FUNK / BASS
BIBI TANGA
& The Selenites
from the Central African Republic The future of funk is being written right now by a pair of Parisian groove theorists named Bibi Tanga and Professeur Inlassable. Singer, bassist and bandleader Bibi Tanga bridges the divide between the arty South Bank of the Seine and the gritty suburbs, where he grew up as an immigrant from the Central African Republic. Bibi's music is marked by slinky, sinuous basslines and a wicked falsetto that conjures up Prince and Curtis Mayfield, while producer Professeur Inlassable ("The Tireless Professor") digs deep beneath the cobblestones of Paris to unearth the sound and spirit of another era. Together with Bibi's band The Selenites, the duo forges a stunningly original new sound, and creates a space where Afro-futurism meets steampunk, Fela Kuti jams with Sidney Bechet and Marcel Duchamp gets down to Chic.
Wednesday 27th April 2011, 7.00 for 7.30pm
Bulawayo Theatre
Tickets available for $5 at the Bulawayo Theatre and at the door for more information on this event contact Alliance Francaise de Bulawayo Tel: 09-250 245 - E-mail: afbyo@yoafrica.com or visit our website : http://www.afzim.org/bulawayo/?bibi- tanga

PAB AND THE ACADEMY
FILM: ALPHA AND OMEGA
Tuesday 19 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 10.30 a.m.
Come along on the ultimate road-trip adventure that will leave the whole family howling with laughter! When Kate, a take-charge "Alpha" wolf, and Humphrey, a laid-back "Omega" wolf, get snatched by park rangers and relocated halfway across the country, the two must set off on an incredible journey home. With the help of a goofy golfing goose and his quacky duck caddy, Kate and Humphrey won't let anything stop them - prickly porcupines, grumpy bears, even a speeding locomotive -from getting back to Jasper Park in time to help save their pack from rival wolves. Admission: $2.00
THE DREAM OF GERONTIUS
Wednesday 20 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
Elgar's great work was presented in St.Paul's Cathedral on 26 November 1997 as part of the celebrations of the BBC's 75th and the Cathedral's 300th anniversaries . Andrew Davis conducts an inspired performance with Catherine Wyn Rogers, Philip Langridge, Alastair Miles and the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
FILM: BARABBAS
Thursday 21 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
Anthony Quinn stars in Barabbas, the fictional story of the man released by the people of Jerusalem in preference to Jesus. "A lavish production coupled with a good script (based on Per Langerkvist's novel) and generally fine acting by the large cast make for an engrossing, literate experience" (Leonard Maltin's 2011 Movie Guide). Admission: $3.00 [free to film subscribers]
FILM: TANGLED
Tuesday 26 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 10.30 a.m.
Walt Disney Pictures presents "Tangled", one of the most hilarious and hair-raising tales ever told. When the kingdom's most wanted - and most charming - bandit, Flynn Rider, hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel, a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for a ticket out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. "Tangled" is a story of adventure, heart, humour and hair - lots of hair. Admission: $2.00
FILM: THE QUEEN
Thursday 28 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
The celebrated film is an engrossing, intimate and intelligently witty portrait of the monarchy's darkest days in the week following the death of Princess Diana. "Helen Mirren as the Queen is a sensation" (The Times). Admission: $3.00 [free to film subscribers]
DONIZETTI: MARY STUART
Friday 29 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.
Donizetti's opera offers a great singing-actress tremendous opportunities, especially in the fictitious encounter with her persecutor, Elizabeth I, when royal pride, defiance and finally fury are her undoing, whilst the scenes leading to her execution embrace optimism, regret, love, remorse and despair. Dame Janet Baker's portrayal was regarded as one of the pinnacles of her career, and she chose the role for her farewell to the London operatic stage in 1982 when this recording was made. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

3) Roses And Raspberries
Roses to Zimbabweans who are making us proud . . .
Jestina Mukoko and National Healing Co-Minister Sekai Holland have been awarded the prestigious French National Order of the Legion of Honour, for what French authorities termed their outstanding virtues in serving their country and others.
Attorney Beatrice Mtetwa has been awarded another international prize, for her work defending Zimbabwean rights activists and other victims of human rights abuses.
Betty Makoni was recently listed as one of Newsweek's 150 most impressive women for her work in helping sexually abused girls.
Raoul du Toit is among the six recipients of the prestigious US$150 000 International Goldman Environmental Prize Award for 2011.

I would like to send a big raspberry to the nosey Suburbs neighbour who has called SPCA to my home not once but twice recently. The first time SPCA came when I was not home and at a very busy time for me and took my 13 year old dog who has had a harmless lump on his back leg for many years now. The lump was not causing my dog any pain or affecting his quality of life at all. Due to this call out of SPCA they forced me to put down my old dog which made me very sad and left my poor bitch feeling very lonely. So I spoke to SPCA and saved a poor unfortunate puppy that would have been put down from SPCA to become a companion for my bitch. This very cute and loving soul however came to me ill and skinny and as he did not eat while he was sick got yet skinnier. He is now on the mend but has not had time to gain weight yet and low and behold I get another visit from the SPCA inspector. Please people look at my other dog. If she doesn't look mistreated why would I be mistreating the other one. Use a bit of common sense before you set SPCA on people there may be a good explanation for why a dog looks the way it does that you couldn't know by just walking past my house.
Thank you.

FAREWELL KEEGAN LANGLEY
Keeg's is Flying
Well after a journey after two years and an endless fight all day long, Keegs finally left us at 4:10 this afternoon. The last hour was the toughest, but it was a privilege and a special feeling for us all to be there for his last breath.
So the legend has been laid to rest, and he is now flying in a massive stoop, cutting the air with his primaries and vocalising with the exhilaration. How great it will be to walk, talk and be pain free. My thanks for everyone, the journey is full circle. Keegs was on loan to us for 2 years and 5 days. What a journey - no breaks, no easy ride.....
He has been cast from the glove, and now flies free, no longer at hack. Total peace and release.
Fly free Keegie boy,
Sal, Ade, Drew and Bryn

NORMAN TRAVERS
Here in the UK we recently saw a documentary on Imire Game Park in E Zimbabwe, so I was intrigued to see the following article in the latest issue of the UK BSAP Outpost and hope you will as moved by it as I was: " Norman Travers, MC , MSM , who was a prominent farmer and well known figure in the Marandellas and Wedza districts, died on the 18th March 2012 at the age of 88. He was particularly well known as a leading Game Farmer and conservationist.
He established the well known Imire Game Park on his Wedza farm. The following tribute to Norman Travers appeared in the Rhodesian Services Association of New Zealand Newsletter for June 2010 :
' Only the elephants could have delivered such a moving tribute to Norman Travers. Shortly after he was buried last month on his farm" Imire", in eastern Zimbabwe, two forty year old Elephant bulls arrived unbidden, wandered through the crowd of 250 mourners, lumbered up to the coffin and sniffed it, long and intently. When the last spadeful of earth had been cast on the grave, these massive beasts stood together on the heap of ground he lay beneath.
Three times during the ensuing week, they returned and stood by his grave.
The Travers's Family is convinced they were mourning for elephants are known to have a fascination with death. His three sons and daughter grew up in a household where his animals, included a half ton rhino, wandered in and out of the house, ate up the flower beds and shared breakfast with the family on the lawn on Sundays. Most days he and his wife would go for evening walks with Cassius the lion, Bere the hyena, Dudley the warthog, Potter the Otter,along with two labradors, a dachshund and a cat. '
RIP Norman Travers.

NEWSLETTER MARCH 2011

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I have to start by saying that it has been a very tough year so far - every time one can just about make ends meet, they move the ends!! Sadly, so many of our Pensioners are finding it harder and harder to survive in this new economy based in US$ - they're battling as much as they ever did before, if not more so! The cost of living has grown exponentially, and many of our pensioners are in a worse state of destitution than they ever were when the Zimbabwean economy was in such a sorry state. It seems that even though we are US$ based now, the inflation is growing at an alarming rate, and besides this, our pensioners have only access to their original pensions, which, with the chopping and changing of the currencies, are basically worth nothing. For example, rates for electricity and water (which are basic human rights!) for a Pensioner in Coronation, are, on average (plus rent), US$75 per month. The average railway pension is between $14-$29 per month. This means our pensioners are $46-$61 in the red before they even start their month, and this is before any food! And then. Bread alone is $1, so 1 loaf every 2 days brings the total to US$100 per month, before any other kind of sustenance!
The majority of our Pensioners registered with us earn pensions on average of $37 per month. This doesn't cover rent and rates. Let alone food.
Our pensioners are destitute!!!
Their situation is CRITICAL!
Please, help us to help them!
EMRAS AMBULANCE: In the first quarter we transported a total of 15 people QUARTERLY COST US$ 450 CLINIC & MEDICINES: 3 Clinics are run on a fortnightly basis: Coronation Cottages, Rhodes Jubilee and Garden Park. These are essential to ensuring the health of our patients as well as supplying them with their chronic medication. We see on average 60 pensioners every fortnight, sometimes rising to 80. QUARTERLY COST US$ 16300 OPTICIAN AND DENTISTRY: Due to our funds being reduced because of the recession we have not been able to assist with optician or dentistry this quarter. We have focused more on the life saving medicines and clinics.
FOOD 4 HOMES BULAWAYO: Deliveries continue on a monthly basis. Dry goods and meat or chickens when available are delivered the last week of every month. The homes are still in need as their residents are not able to pay the rents that the homes require to be viable, which leaves the Homes short every month. Fresh vegetables, eggs and fruit are delivered on a weekly basis. Verity Amm Soup kitchen feeds on average 300 pensioners a week. QUARTERLY COST US$ 15300
UPCOMING FUND RAISERS: We have a few in the pipeline for this year so please watch the FB group and Morning Mirror for more info. Our first Fundraiser is a May day celebration, in the old English tradition of the Maypole and fair to be held at Southern Comfort Lodge on the 30 April 2011. Start 10am until late. Come and join us for a fun filled day and help raise funds for our Elderly!
SCS & F4HB would like to thank our donors who have helped to keep us afloat in these trying times.. Special thanks to Fuel Supplies, Outspan Butchery, Mates club, Matbass, Hillside Pharmacy and of course Homes in Zimbabwe who supply the bulk of our dry goods. Thank you for helping our Pensioners, who would die if not for you the generous public. Thanks must also go to the dedicated team behind SCS, Dr Legg, Dr Condon, Isobel, Arlene, Ursula, Sr Heekes & Peter Rollason.

A little while ago I think there was a query raised by a reader about a request for some sort of additional driving licence in South Africa. The following may help.
Article 6.10 Section 3 of the SADC Protocol onTransport, Communication and Meteorology states .......
'a licence issued in one Member State shall be valid for the driving of a vehicle in respect of which it has been issued in any other member state'.
So there is no question about the validity of a Zim. licence in RSA. I suspect that the 'additional licence' was a coded request for a piece of paper - usually very dirty - approximately 17,5 x 6,5 cms with a portrait of an elderly American on one side with numbers in each corner or the South African equivalent.
I hope this information will be helpful.

R.E.D. Property & Auctions
Chartered Surveyors
1. Cricket: Well, I was right about England going home early from the World Cup, but regrettably wrong about Sri Lanka winning, I say regrettably because I pulled Sri Lanka to win in the Mutare Club draw, apart from my prediction of their success from the very beginning. India just too strong on the day, although I had high hopes when their openers were both out (Sehwag and the mighty Tendulkar) for not very much. There would probably have been riots across the sub continent if India had lost. And when Tendulkar was dropped 4 (four!) times in the semi against Pakistan, I thought "hello, the bookies have had a word with the lads". Anyway, its back to gardening and reading now the cricket is finished. Also, keeping on tippy toes around Mrs. Redfern who stopped smoking 10 days ago. Even the dogs understand the wisdom of good, quiet behaviour around her.
2. R.E.D. Property Fairly marginal demand for property in Byo, but a few sales of SENSIBLY priced units - houses, flats and light industrial. Money in very short supply, Building Societies not lending, and Banks offering but at 22% per annum, and nothing medium to long term. As a result, Deeds of Sale/payment by installments now a preferred method of purchase but with sizable deposits and repayment terms a maximum 12 months. "But what happens to the deposit if the purchaser reneges on payment ?" I hear you ask. Well, we have a number of safeguards for the seller, including penalty rental charges, any repayment of deposit to be from the re-sale of the property, any depreciation in the value to be deducted from the repayment, etc. etc. Give it a thought. We have plenty of properties for sale in all areas and price ranges. New listings include: - Ilanda 4 beds, etc. pool borehole, well maintained, $102 000.00 - Hillside 3 beds 2 baths, 2 lounges, sep. dining room, lovely secure acre garden with pool and borehole, double garage etc. All immaculate. $137 000.00 - Famona Detached 3 beds, lounge, sep dining room, fitted kitchen, walled garden : $65 000.00 - Kumalo B.U.T 4 beds 2 baths, large lounge, sep. dining room, fitted kitchen, pool, borehole, walled electric gate. Reduced to $150 000.00 - Matsheumhlope B.U.T 4 beds, 2 baths, 2 lounges, dining room, modern fitted kitchen. Very modern house, lush gardens, pool, borehole, double lock-up garage, 2 carports, much more - very secure. $150 000.00 (sensibly priced!)

33) TIDBITS


During my years of being close to people engaged in changing the world, I have seen fear turn into courage. Sorrow into joy. Funerals into celebrations. Because whatever the consequences, people, standing side by side, have expressed who they really are, and that ultimately they believe in the love of the world and each other - which is the foundation of activism.
Alice Walker reflecting on working for peace
