Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) Statement on International Women's Day, 8th March 2009

As the world, including Zimbabwe, commemorates International Women's Day, members of WOZA find little to celebrate.

As organisations, both local and international, take the opportunity afforded by International Women's Day to speak out about the need for gender equality, respect for women's right and an end to violence, WOZA joins the chorus. Yet we understand that women in Zimbabwe, and Africa as a whole, need much more than rhetoric - they need action. And actions speak louder than words.

The current situation of the ordinary woman in Zimbabwe is heartbreaking.
She only lives until the age of 34 because the Mugabe regime killed a perfectly good health system. She can hardly access antiretroviral treatment and even if she does, the three meals a day she needs to take them with is impossible. She cannot put a full nutritious meal on the table for her family because Zimbabwe is no longer the breadbasket of Africa but its basket case.

A mother is always preoccupied with a better future for her children so that she can dream about sitting in the shade and being looked after for a change. But the prospects for this have been thrown out of the window by the destruction of the education system by the present regime. Educating children was already a challenge previously but in 2008 it became a form of torture for parents. Teachers left, school buildings deteriorated, text and exercise books disappeared to be sold on the streets for exorbitant prices. Government did not even bother to buy chalk, and this burden, along with that of paying teachers, fell on the parents' shoulders.

Zimbabwe, in the throes of a political and governance crisis, failed to safeguard the rights of children to an education and their right to a better future. The untold story of Zimbabwe is the impact of the crisis on the lives of our children - how these innocent souls will bear the terrible burden of our adult hatred and intolerance.

On 9th March 2009, two WOZA leaders will be in the dock in Bulawayo Magistrate's Court facing a possible five years in prison for demanding political leaders allow free access to food aid for starving Zimbabweans. In the words of a police officer, this was a crime of 'exciting people'. In a justice system backlogged for years, with thousands of Zimbabweans in prison and unable to be fed or brought to court, the fact that this case has been prioritised is further proof that women human rights defenders continue to be harassed and intimidated merely for speaking out on behalf of their families.

So a year after WOZA members were beaten and arrested in Bulawayo whilst commemorating International Women's Day, we still do not find anything in our hearts to celebrate. Instead we use this occasion to remind our leaders that actions speak louder than words. And to light a candle against the darkness so as to guide our steps on the road to a socially just Zimbabwe. WOZA will continue to demand bread and roses, a full enjoyment of all our social, economic, cultural and political rights and the social justice that will restore our dignity as women. By continuing to take the step forward, perhaps by the next International Women's Day, we will have something to celebrate.

Mrs Susan Tsvangirai - WOZA mourns the loss of a mother to the nation Our troubled hearts are further burdened and saddened by the untimely death of Mrs Susan Tsvangirai. WOZA was looking forward to Susan being the mother to the nation that we have long waited for. We witnessed her dignity and strength in standing by the side of her husband during their 31 years of marriage and understand the unexpressed pain she must have endured watching her husband suffer at the hands of a brutal regime. We had hoped and prayed that she would enjoy a semblance of peace at his side as a mother of the nation. The loss of this mother of six and tower of strength to her husband is a shocking blow to the nation and all Zimbabwean women. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the Prime Minister, their children who have lost their mother and rest of their family. May her soul rest in blessed peace at last.

Mayoral Musings revisited.

Thank you so much for now 'officially' bestowing upon me the gracious title of Mayors of Parklands- I look forward to receiving my mayoral in due course. How well I remember the mayoral box at the large City Hall, as all the shows and pantomimes that you mentioned I actually participated in, being one of the dancers, names that come to mind are Vernon King, always the dame and absolutely hilarious, Binky Radstock and Geraldine Baron the babes in Babes in the Woods and a delightful leading lady called Isabel, her surname eludes me, but she had the most magnificent voice. One production, The White Horse Inn, had the first revolving stage ever in the then Rhodesia - real high technology - but it stuck a few times and there was much heaving and shoving to get it going again by the back stage staff - and if my memory serves me correctly it housed about 4 scenes, which if not moved to would have spelt disaster for the show, however it was all great fun and I loved every minute of it. The mayoral box and lounge were situated close to our dressing rooms, so we little girls, if we had nothing better to do, would 'spy' on all the dignitaries - lots of banter on the fashion of the day - fur capes,lots of sparkling jewelry and the like, such happy memories. Then after the show my sister and I would sit on the steps of the large City Hall with all our costumes waiting for our Dad to come and pick us up.

We were always accompanied by Mr. Mathieson, who was the Caretaker of the City Halls,and would not leave us on our own, until our Dad arrived - if he took a little longer than normal, Mr. Mathieson would always teasingly threaten us with the 'Black Mariah' a big green Bedford police truck to take us home - imagine the relief when my Dad turned up!!! As we got a little older my mother allowed us to catch the last bus home, which would drop us right outside our home - the bus terminus in those days was housed in what is now the City Hall Car Park adjacent to the City Halls and do you recall that the building which up until recently housed the Art Gallery was in those days a huge vegetable market.

Well there we go a few more memories to add to your archives

Chlor-less Pool Ioniser. Automatic water sanitiser using ozone. TIRED OF CONSTANTLY POURING MONEY INTO YOUR POOL. With the chlor-less pool ioniser installed in your pump we guarantee: Pool water pure enough to drink. Water that will never turn green, even after heavy rains. A total end to algae. No more chock treatments, burning eyes or chlorine smell. No health hazards or allergies. Clear sparkling soft pool water that can be back washed onto lawn or garden. Reduce your pump cycle by up to 60% Use only one cup chlorine every two weeks in summer. Ozone kills 90% of bacteria, viruses and fungi on contact. When ozone is used to clear water of germs, no residues are left behind that are unhealthy.

Since the early 1900's it has been used in water purification where it reacts about 3200 times faster than chlorine.

TUITION ( MATHS, PHYSICS, AND CHEMISTRY) AND IT CONSULTANCY

Is your son or daughter having difficulty with O or A Level Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry?

Do the A Level classes contain 30 students rather than 10? Classes this size do not allow for much individual help.

If so, I can coach your son or daughter in the above subjects, having had 35 years experience teaching these subjects. I take only one student at a time, which ensures that the student has individual attention and help. Are you having problems with expensive inflexible payrolls? If so, I can develop an extremely reasonably priced tailor made payroll system for your business, mine, farm or institution. I also offer computer courses in MS Windows operating system, MS Word word processing, MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access database, MS Project Project Design, desk top publishing, AutoCAD computer aided design, MS Outlook Express e-mail, Internet browsing and search, Corel Draw, Corel PhotoPaint graphic design and digital photography.

Other
MEMORIES

The Hero of Llewellyn
Bulawayo City Hall. I remember seeing Cliff Richard there, and going with my mom to see spiritualist Harry Edwards. But more enjoyable by far was the superb international pianist Peter Katin giving a Chopin recital, or my own wonderful piano teacher Henryk Mierowski playing Beethoven's 'Emperor' and Chopin's 2nd - both accompanied by Bulawayo's very own orchestra under the baton of that lovely man Derek Hudson.
But one name leapt out at me and I was transported back almost forty years. Basic training, Llewellyn Barracks - that testing time in a young man's life when the comforts of home seem like a hazy and very distant dream.
Sixpence Kinleyside was my hero. Although we never particularly knew each other, I admired him more than any other guy in the barracks - so much so that I can't really remember anyone else from our intake. Sixpence was the original Mr Cool.

My abiding memory is from the chaos of early morning inspections. It never seemed like five minutes since the lights had gone out after last night's shine parades when they were back on again, and everyone started to get ready for the new day's six o' clock inspection. Everyone, that is, except Kinleyside. As all the rest of us fretted with bedpacks, nervously polished boots, boxed-off socks and vests...Kinleyside would be tucked up in his pit, seemingly dead to the world. As six o' clock drew ever nearer and panic stations seized all the rest of us, Kinleyside would have a leisurely stretch and a yawn, contemplate the mayhem around him and consider whether he had time for another forty winks.

Morning after morning as I panicked along with all the others I would glance nervously at my hero and think he's never going to do it; he's leaving it too late this time. Then moving as if in slow motion Kinleyside would stir. To this day I don't know how he did it. But every morning without fail, as the barracks door swung open at six o' clock sharp to reveal Corporal Hunt looking like the proverbial grim reaper, Kinleyside would appear at the side of an immaculate bed, kit immaculately presented, aligned and displayed like all the rest of us. He was a bloody marvel.
Later, when all the rest of us had started having to do guard duties, Kinleyside was getting himself excused to go play rugby for Llewellyn, or cricket or fencing or sailing or whatever...

I forget what his relationship to Mayor Kinleyside was, and I never did know why he was called Sixpence (I think his real name was Ian). Our paths diverged after basic training, me to Chikurubi (It was an IntAf training school in those days), and I've no idea what became of him; but he still remains my all time hero of Llewellyn Barracks.

7) HARARE NEWS

We are really wanting to keep the Resthaven complex in Rusape going, and at present our occupancy rate is hovering around 60%. Obviously, we are wanting to raise this figure, and I was wondering whether you knew of anyone who would want to move to Resthaven. I know that it sounds crazy, but in these difficult economic times, there may be people who cannot afford the rents in Hre. We are charging US$7 per month per cottage - water is free, but ZESA/Telone has to be paid for.
We have a good doctor, and small private clinic, as well as dentist, vet etc. Although most supermarkets are basic, we have a new "dollar" shop which has opened and I think that this will go a long way to alleviating shopping blues in Rusape.
Please also spread the word! Thank you.
