NOTICES


SPCA

A fun day out in the country has been planned for Sunday 19 September 2004, in order to raise funds for the Bulawayo Branch of the SPCA. This will take place at the Marula Farmers Hall.

The Flying Eagles Club have organised a sponsored cycle ride. This will be open to all members of the public, no matter what your age. The entry fee is $ 5 000-00 per rider or $ 20 000-00 per team. The idea is, YOU raise sponsorship from friends, relatives, organisations, businesses, for yourself to ride a bicycle to Marula; all proceeds going to the SPCA. Some wonderful prizes have been donated!

The start of the cycle ride will be from Southwold Shopping Centre at 7.30 am. Registration will commence at 7.00 am. The Vintage and Classic Club of Matabeleland will be doing a run to the hall. Should wish a ride out to Marula in a vintage or classic car please contact Brian Louth on 241139 (home) or 011 231 419. A Country Fayre will take place out there. All sorts of exciting goodies and treats will be on sale. Fresh hotdogs and boerewors rolls etc. will be available as will beers, wines and softdrinks. Come and have a wonderful day out in the country, and at the same time you will be helping to care for our helpless dumb friends! Please bring your own chairs and tables.

ANTI HIJACK TRUST

BULAWAYO UPDATE

03/09/04

August was a terrible month for house break ins, where a number of victims have been traumatised and/or shot and it will take time for them to recover, more so the psychological effects than physical. If you know of anyone who has not been in contact with me, please ask them to do so, as the support group meeting is coming up in September and we are here to help each and every victim of this terrible crime and hijackings of course. I will visit the victims well before the support group to give them my individual attention and help. Amazingly enough, this actually is pulling the community together - well done.

I want to emphasize yet again - will everyone stop this rumour mongering that goes around. Do you realise the effects that it actually has on the victims? Sometimes, with the rumours, it becomes more detrimental not only to their health and their family structure, but to the investigation itself. If you cannot keep quiet, make sure you hear the facts correctly from the victim or someone who does not add on any exaggerated bits to make the story more morbid. Also, please be more tactful towards victims, do not say things like "So why did you not do .............. at the time of the incident". I would like to remind people, you were not there, so do not try to make out you know what you would have done, every single person reacts differently to the situation at hand.
Over a period of 2 updates, I gave tips on how to secure your home. Please make note of the following again:
- Your dogs barking differently - investigate
- Have outside lights on in all areas
- Question people sitting or walking around your area during the day that you do not recognise - get your domestics involved in this.
- Do not leave keys in locked doors - take them out and put them in a safe place that you can quickly get hold of them
- If you have your doors open, make sure you have a wrought iron door padlocked whilst these back, front or french doors are open. Do not have all doors open if you are only in one part of the house.
- Remember the power of intimidation works wonders not only on one security guard, but also domestics - please keep this in mind always, no matter how long they have worked for you.

The gang(s) at present are wanting jewelry, cellphones and money. No rapes have taken place in these attacks according to the Trust's records. They will try to intimidate you with the "action" if they require more money etc, but they are getting more brazen about their actions and I would not like to say it won't happen. What does worry me, is that they are keen to shoot and just now someone is going to get murdered by these gangs. I would also like to advise people who belong to a "reaction unit". Note, these companies do not allow their men to come onto the premises if they are aware that the criminals have guns, this is natural, as the reaction units are not allowed guns themselves. Nowadays the reaction units know that every criminal has a weapon, so they will sit outside your property or just up the road until the criminals have left your property. For the amount of money you pay each month, I think it is about time people got together and juggled ideas with the security companies on how best they can be protected.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank "Mr Anonymous" for the donation of a wonderful new computer for the Bulawayo office and to those super individuals who donated money towards the Trust. In October, I shall be asking people to assist with a little function, to be held at the end of November or early December, for all those victims of hijackings and house break ins, where we can get together with our families and let our hair down. I shall require a venue, drinks and snacks to be organised for free and have the sponsors attend and all who have donated towards the Trust. It will be on a Monday night as nothing seems to be open in Bulawayo on that night. So be prepared !! The support group is meeting on the 21st September 2004 at 13:30 hours. Please contact me on 011-701 323 or email crime@mweb.co.zw for more details as to where it is being held or if you are interested in me giving a talk to your company or group of friends.
