PERSECUTION WITH A CAPITAL P.

Dear Morning Mirror,

My name is Jenni Williams, national coordinator of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA). I am persecuted for being a human rights defender, just getting over my 39th arrest and recovering from my 3rd stint in a Zimbabwean jail as a unconvicted prisoner. Arrested on the 21st of September 2-11 World Peace Day, I spent 2 days in horrific conditions at Bulawayo Central Police and then 10 days at Mlondolozi female prison in Khami complex. This brings my tally to 73 days of my life spent in jails wearing the bright green dolly rocker tunic of a remand prisoner. Despite so many arrests, the state has been unable to criminalise my right to peaceful protest so they through a particular officer with personal grudges have now resorted to criminal charges of kidnapping and theft. Anyway that is just a bit of background, the real reason I write this is to make a heartfelt plea to Zimbabweans.

In Zimbabwean jails, you have nothing to do except watch and SEE what happens and to talk to other prisoners. Life in prison is dreary, many nights spent on hard floors, dirty blankets, stinking cells, long hours (16 hours) of lock down in small overcrowded cells can surely drive one up the wall. I slept next to murderers, car jackers, thieves , fraudsters, prostitutes, all of them human beings trying to survive. I was not there to judge them but to share in the battle to eke out some form of dignity for oneself and avoid being harassed or beaten or tortured by prison guards. Counting the hours and days in your head or watching how the shadows change as the sun sets as you are not allowed to know the time becomes a favourite past time of many. A prison is supposed to be a place for correction and reform , but Zimbabwe's prisons become places of slow death and places where one's dignity and self esteem are stripped. I have seen none of the correction and reform except forced labour or nonsensical things like the daily watering down to clean the 12x25 meter concrete yard.

During 2008, time in prison was hell as there was such widespread hunger and skeletons habited most of Zimbabwe's jails. Things have improved somehow in terms of supply of food in Mlondolozi but I am afraid to say the food is badly cooked and hungry eyes tell the stomach that it cannot finish the meal served on plastic plates as it is so unappetising. Sadza and spinach is such a simple meal to prepare if cooked in clean pots with clean water and with care but both are lacking at Mlondolozi. The sadza of an indescribable colour with relish of either spinach drowning in it water and not a drop of oil or beans swimming in an Olympic pool of liquid are the 11:30 lunch and 3pm dinner menu. Porridge too is a burden to eat as it is cooked in yesterday's unwashed pots and 20% of inmates have that magic item called a spoon. Those with the other scarce item called a toothbrush use one side for brushing and another for dribbling porridge into their mouths. And so I learn that eating is half hunger and a whole lot to do with how appetising the food is, the result, inmates don't get their basic right to a decent cooked nutritious meal. Due to my friends and relatives I am able to get a meal and something for breakfast delivered to me daily but as before I find I cannot eat in those conditions and lost 4kgs despite spending most of the day sitting in the tiny yard. One appetite killer is the thought that someone in the cells who d s not have relatives to visit and cannot stomach prison food will go for days without a morsel. My colleague Magodonga spent many meal times urging me to eat so I could take my antibiotics to treat the infection of my recent surgery. There was no bathing or shower facilities in Hotel Central Police station and my pleas for clean water for me to cleaning my wounds for 3 days fell on deaf ears, it was if I was asking for a rock from the moon. By the grace of God the antibiotics worked, and the infection has cleared.

I have three things to ask of anyone reading this note but I am no expert but just sharing based on experience. Firstly talking to convicted prisoners, it becomes so clear that that people can be too trusting and this sets them up for a fall. Please take time to study and analyse people and take more seriously advice on how to prevent crime or carjacking. Don't leave your keys in the ignition and step out. Don't trust strangers no matter the gender, smile or eloquence. I am not saying go through life being suspicious and lose confidence in the basic good of a human but take the time to THINK before you act. This will and can save you from injury, harm death and or even losing your property.

Following on from the basic good point, some of the crimes that resulted in prisoners being given the yellow dress of a convicted person could have been solved my facilitated dialogue processes. Again, I ask us to think and try to find other ways than to send someone to a prison that cannot feed them in a country that will not reform or correct them. Instead of prisoners coming out as reformed members of society they re-enter society as hardened criminals with little hope of being reformed. I am also talking to employers of domestic staff. The police and justice systems in our country are not working as they should so in the meantime society must find another way to peacefully deal with crime that involves genuine reform and correction and restitution. By the way I have had lots stolen from me and many break ins but because of who I am, I am deprived of my right to walk into a police station and report a crime as it had resulted in my personal persecution for my human ights work.

If you have a relative in jail, please visit them, they need to see you even if you have nothing to give except your smile and a teaspoon or an empty container to use as a lunch box! If you can donate food or practical things to Mlondolozi for the 100 women there, please do so but make sure there is a record of the donation or demand to give it to a prisoner direct or through charitable organisations. Send body cream but not face cream. Don't send deodorant or things that women like to use to make themselves pretty and feminine because so strange undisclosed reasons feeling feminine is not allowed. During my stints I normally coped by reading magazines or short simple romance novels and prisoners and guards alike had always loaned these books to read so it is something that you can do to help pass the day or night, while waiting for Zimbabwe's slow wheels of justice to take their course.

May I take this opportunity to thank the many whom I know had me and my colleagues in their prayers.
God bless
Jenni

PAB AND THE ACADEMY

TORN CURTAIN Thursday 3 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Paul Newman and Julie Andrews star in this classic Hitchcock tale of international espionage behind the Iron Curtain. Newman plays world-famous scientist Michael Armstrong who g s to an international congress of physics in Copenhagen accompanied by his fianc e/assistant Sarah Sherman (Julie Andrews) who mistakenly picks up a message meant for him. She discovers that he seems to be planning to defect to East Germany and the couple are swept up in a heart- stopping chase in this action-packed Cold War thriller. Admission: $3.00 [free to Film Subscribers]

BELLINI: NORMA
Friday 4 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. The title role of Norma is one of opera's supreme vocal and dramatic challenges. In January 2006 Edita Gruberova performed the role on stage for the first time in a new production that left critics and audiences searching for superlatives. 'Gruberova delivers her own wholly individual interpretation... she translates Bellini's interplay of pain, love and desire into physically palpable inner and outer drama. Immensely moving' (Die Welt). Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

FLORENT CHARPENTIER (CLARINET) & MELANIE BRENANT (ACCORDION)
"A clarinet and accordion duo? What an unusual combination! Yet, when one looks at it closely, these two instruments are almost cousins. A reed (the one that vibrates on the mouthpiece of the clarinet) and reeds (those that vibrate inside the "belly' of the accordion) produce similar sounds and make the two protagonists of this unusual duo companionable! Here is a flexible duo (portable!), daring in the choice of repertoire and curious about everything with, in addition, the very infectious happiness (to be shared!) of playing together.' Tickets: $5.00 - available at the Academy or at the door. This concert is promoted by the Alliance Fran aise de Bulawayo, kindly supported by Eco Logical Safaris & Travel, and Red Carpet and PAB subscriptions do NOT apply.
ACADEMY PRESENTATION & ANDR RIEU: MY AFRICAN DREAM
Wednesday 9 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. The Academy's annual prize-giving ceremony will be preceded by a short concert. All are welcome and, following the Presentation and a break for supper (available or bring your own!), at 7.30 p.m. there will be a DVD of Andr Rieu in a Cape Town concert featuring South Africa singer Kimmy Skota. Admission to Andr Rieu: $3.00
WAGNER: DIE MEISTERSINGER VON N RNBERG
Thursday 10 November at 7.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall: Wagner, a BBC documentary followed by Act I Friday 11 November at 6.30 p.m. Acts II & III, with supper interval Wagner turned aside from The Ring and told his publisher that he had decided to cheer himself up with 'something lighter' that would be finished in a year. The result was The Mastersingers which in fact took him six years and remained his only mature comedy. It will be shown over two nights and preceded by a BBC documentary narrated by Kenneth Branagh on the composer's life. The opera itself comes in a traditional Met production conducted by James Levine and with as fine a cast as could be assembled including Karita Mattila as Eva, James Morris as Hans Sachs, Ben Heppner as Walther and Sir Thomas Allen as Beckmesser. Admission: $3.00 (covers both evenings) [free to Red Carpet members]

4) Congratulations

Congratulations to Amy (nee Henderson) and Grant Froneman on the birth of their beautiful little boy Dylan, born on October 21st in Cape Town.
Proud grandparents Anne and Donald are so happy to be grandparents at last. We thought long and hard about it but eventually decided that, despite the financial considerations and our advancing years, we should put aside our reservations and make this sacrifice for the sake of our children. Ultimately, it was not a difficult decision to make as we had the help of Amy and Grant from the beginning. Sandy and Chelle have prepared meticulously and will heap love and gifts from their royal home in Dubai.
Phew!

Please put this in your MM if you don't mind - my uncle was a victim of a 'mugging' at the Matopos Road/Greystoke Way robots on Saturday night! Three young men smashed the passenger window with something. They then ordered him out of the car, took what money he had on him, asked for his cellphone (but he had left it at home); asked him to take off his trousers so they could search further; took his sh s then searched the boot and stole his guitar! They ripped the speakers out of the car and then fled. Thankfully he wasn't hurt and his vehicle wasn't taken but I think people should be made aware of this so that we can all be extra vigilant when driving at night!!

Thanks and regards

Dear Friends,
Many of you will remember my name and association with S.O.A.P. for 8 years until my retirement in August 2010. Retirement it seems, has very been short! I have now been asked to help in the day to day management and fundraising of S.C.S Bulawayo.
S.C.S. Or Senior Citizens Service was founded in the hyper inflationary days of 2004 with the mission of assisting destitute pensioners with acquiring their chronic drugs and, if funds permitted, very minor surgical, optical & dentistry work. It will be hard for those reading this in the 'first world' to understand that if you have no or little income you will not be able to buy relatively minor medications such as cough mixture or aspirin without even thinking of blood pressure tablets or even medicines to control diabetes. For instance, I personally have known pensioners who take their blood pressure tablets on alternate days to save on cost. Perhaps you may have an ailment other than a relatively common cold or flu. Where do you go? Answer in short, without S.C.S? Go home and try to manage the best you can.

S.C.S. has recently opened a clinic within the grounds of Coronation Cottages, which is a senior citizens complex in Bulawayo. This has been made possible by Edith Duly donating the premises with electricity and water supplied free of charge. There is a nurse 'B' who is in attendance Monday to Friday, a receptionist 'I' who trained in the independence war as a Para medic, and 'A' who is I think best described as a medicines co-coordinator. I can almost hear you thinking 'Wow! They don't need my assistance then.' Wrong!

On my first visit I spent 4 hours chatting and asking questions, here is what I found out;
Through donations this 1950's building has been repainted and a floor covering laid. You enter by a fairly steep footpath (as I observed, difficult if you have a walking frame) then climb a few steps to the entrance. Once you have proved your fitness (!) by gaining access to the office/ reception/ waiting area, you are made very welcome by all. Off to the left is a small room with three very small beds neatly made up, depending on your needs you may be directed here by either 'I' or 'B'. If it is repeat medication you will see 'A' who will check to see when you are due and issue more if need be. This is carried out through a very tight procedure, although not taking long ensures that duplicate medicines are not issued. Your 3 monthly check-up of blood pressure etc may be taken in the waiting room. The check up is for the destitute who may not be sick, but offers that little re-assurance that someone is there for you if need be.
Down a corridor to the left, is the very sparsely appointed doctors consulting room, next to it a storage room for second hand wheelchairs, walking frames, crutches etc..
There are two volunteer doctors who call on Mondays in alternate weeks, should anyone call in who is in distress on other days either 'I' or 'B' will asses the situation and if they need to will telephone the doctor and give symptoms, the doctor then will decided on a course of action. He may refer the patient to a 24 hour emergency clinic which costs US$100 a day specially discounted from $150. An ambulance can be summoned if needed, again hugely discounted at $30, all this funded by donations received by S.C.S
Monday afternoon, the day the doctor calls, this part of the day starts at 2pm, (actually 1:20pm when I was there). How long is the Doctor there? Until he or she has seen everyone. This day he had 26 patients to see. If a prescription is issued and the drugs are not in stock they will be ordered by 'A' and she will keep track of the order right through to delivery to the patient packing them herself. Due to finances or lack of them, expensive drugs such as those for cancer can not be bought. Those with cancer, serious heart problems, or needing major surgery can only be made comfortable and in some cases admitted to the next door Edith Duly Nursing home which costs $600 monthly for nursing care with whatever medicines are affordable donated by S.C.S. I understand there are two people there at the moment supported by SCS in this manner. One is a gent aged 78. Who after having a stroke was nursed by his 74 year old sister, this fearless, feisty and brave lady used to lift her seriously disabled brother, bathe, feed and care for him on her own. When the staff at SCS found out they arranged to have him admitted to Edith Duly at their expense where he now lives out his remaining wheelchair bound days in some degree of comfort, security and dignity. His courageous sister has recently passed away, now his only visitors are the staff of S.C.S. As I was leaving the clinic I also saw 'M' a pensioner lady who calls free of charge and will give the patients massage whilst they wait for the Doctor.
The inevitable question is how much d s all of this cost?
There are 3 members of staff who are paid a monthly amount which is less than the weekly minimum wage in the UK. All of these people are on call out of hours getting wherever they need to using their own resources with no extra remuneration provided. They are essentially volunteers.
Basic medicines prescriptions are in the region of $2,500 - $3,000 each month. In November S.C.S will have to find double this amount to cover the Christmas period.
At the other side of town there is also a drop in surgery each Thursday attended by the same doctors and funded by S.C.S. Due to logistical difficulties the weekly clinic at Garden Park has had to be discontinued, any patients there having to travel 6 miles / 10k's to Coronation Cottage. Remember public transport d s not exist & it is not unknown for an 80 year old to WALK several miles for assistance.
What then can you do to help these under privileged destitute pensioners from all walks of life?
S.C.S is a registered trust. There is an account in the UK and in Bulawayo the details of which are provided below. Should anyone be in a position to assist with a donation, a thought or a prayer, we would be more than grateful. Once I am firmly in the 'driving seat' I will send out updates on a three to four monthly basis. Should you not want to receive these please send me an email with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line and you will not be troubled further. I would ask that the next time you seek medical assistance, or buy an over the counter medicine that you give a silent prayer or thought of thanks of how fortunate you are.
Should you require any further information of any kind please contact me and I'll do my best to provide it.
Thank you and may God bless you for taking the time to read this.

Beauty tips from Audrey Hepburn

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
