Unlike my dear departed Mum, I am doomed to languish in eternal hell ... for yesterday I actually bribed a government official !! And the worse thing is, it is not the first time I have done so !! Now MY MUM was a legend in her time, she was so honest, upright and true, she would not even use a company envelope for her own use!! And so she tried to pass on this little virtue, unsuccessfully it would seem, to brother Gavin and myself !! My most recent transgression occurred at the Beitbridge Border Post, but with my first encounter with bribery, I plead total innocence I promise. A couple of years ago, obtaining a National Parks registration number for a boat was not normally a problem, and having done it once previously I was au fait with the "system". A quick visit to National Parks, an entry in a hard cover black ledger book, a small payment made, and off one should go, both happily and hopefully... . I could see the book on the shelf behind the parks officer, it smiled at me enticingly, but the officer was not going to get off her chair and so told me it would "take about a week" to process..... However I did not have a week as we were leaving for the lake that very day and I had even bought the paint and made a stencil to paint the number on the boat !!(As per National Park rules !!) A tad miffed to say the least at her unbending uncivil service-like manner, I dumped my parcels on her counter and rummaged in my bag for the payment. The parcels I dumped on her counter included a box of Charons chocolates for a friend I was about to visit in hospital. When I emerged from my "ridiculous reticule" (as Mum always called my handbag) the box of chocolates had vanished and in its place on the counter was the very book with the very number that I needed so urgently !! Blushing in horror, canker and perversion emanating from every pore, I raced off clutching my red hot burning and corrupt boat number, and I could feel Mums eyes boring into me from her little cloud up there above me....... Now my recent brush with depravity of course came a lot easier, now that my morals have been lowered and my soul is decayed..... .and after all The Beitbridge Border Post gleefully invites all transgressors to it dens of iniquity. Fresh from our air conditioned vehicle, we manfully struggled through the queue for the little blue customs paper, the queue for the bridge toll, the queue for Immigration and sallied forth to the queue for the Returning Residents road access. Armed with the massive sum of $300 Zimbabwe dollars, we joined the seething mass of humanity.... humbly, contrite, eyes glazed smilingly, submissive as is our recent lot in life in Zimbabwe.... . Half an hour passed and we were surprisingly, still the last people in the line, but by now we were beginning to succumb to the forty degree heat and little rivulets of perspiration were pouring down our backs. HeeHoo and Big Mike were sweating profusely by this stage and I of course was merely "glowing" (Mother always said that ladies never sweated !! Horses sweated !! Ladies merely Glowed !!) An hour had now passed and we were still the last people in the queue.... Big Mike however has the advantage of being two heads taller than everyone else, and he could see quite clearly what the rest of us were missing. At the front of the queue was a lady in a lime green tee shirt, and she had pinioned herself carefully at the front of the queue. She was boldly taking the money and gate passes off anyone and everyone and, with the blessing obviously of the security guard and the uncivil servant, making herself a tidy little sum of money. No wonder we were still at the very back of the queue as everyone was going round the side of the queue and handing their passes and money(plus a gratuity for the lime green agent) right over our heads !! Glowing and glowering furiously, we folk who make the laws, now decided to break the laws and join the rotten state of Zimbabwe, and I found myself brandishing my own gate pass and a largish bank note right under her lime green nose. This resulted in immediate service,and I sallied forth triumphantly, my corrupt chin quivering half in glee and half in terror and my pathway to hell firmly secured for ever- more !! I could feel Mum turning in her grave as tottered in guilty haste from that inferno that is the BeitBridge Border Post !! ========== NOTICES HAMBURGERS AND PANCAKES EVENING.

We hope that there will also be marimbas playing in the grounds from 7.00 so that altogether well over two hundred of our musical youngsters will be involved in what should be a very entertaining evening. The orchestra's repertoire will include a divertimento by Haydn, a suite from Swan Lake, Send in the Clowns and the overture to The Marriage of Figaro whilst the choirs will range from Palestrina and Vivaldi via Finlandia to something much more up-to-date!

A red robot does not mean anything anymore, and there is total disregard when there are children or animals on the road.

Animals are unpredictable and if you will all read your Highway Code (which you should have done when you went for your Learners Licence) you will note that you should SLOW DOWN WHEN APPROACHING ANY ANIMALS.

Zimbabwe is a country in desperate need of intervention. And yet the world is turning a blind eye. If you would like to be a part of organizing and mobilising this event, please let us know. Already over 1200 have joined our facebook group. Can you help us get the word out? All we're asking is for people to 1) pray, 2) organise a prayer event in their city, and 3) pass the word along to everyone in their address book and ask them to do the same. Thousands in Zimbabwe are dying from AIDS. Food is scarce. Medication is in short supply. The inflation rate is at an outrageous 1200 percent. Medical workers are on strike. 80 percent of the population is unemployed. Humanitarian aid organisations are restricted from getting life-saving supplies to the people. Government abuses, skyrocketing crime rates, a disastrous economy, and an exploding health crisis have made Zimbabwe now officially the worst country in the world for "Quality of Life".

Wole Soyinka +++++ Econet Numbering Plan Change Our Vision To provide telecommunications to all the peoples of Zimbabwe Our Mission To serve Zimbabwe by pioneering, developing and sustaining reliable, efficient and high quality telecommunications of uncompromising world class standards and ethics Our Values Pioneering Professionalism Personal BACKGROUND Econet has been adding subscribers aggressively, following recent network upgrade. The subscriber base currently stands at 625K subscribers and our theoretical number capacity is 800K. In order to add more subscribers Econet is planning to introduce a new numbering plan at the end of February 2007. EXISTING CUSTOMERS The numbering plan will affect all our existing customers. The numbering plan entails adding another digit before the last six digit of one's mobile number e.g. 091 (2) 222728. All existing numbers will be changed over to the seven digit numbers just after midnight on 26.02.07. These numbers will operate concurrently with the old numbers. For two weeks. 26.02.07 - 12.03.07 NB Customers do not need to change sim cards, fill in forms or pay for this change in number. The change will be done from our side with no disturbances to customers EXISTING CUSTOMERS communication Announcements will be played to all incoming callers. National Phase 2 Your call is being connected. Please note that the next time you call an Econet number, you will be required to dial 091 2 then the last six digits of the number you are calling. Phase 3 The number you are trying to dial has now changed, please dial 091 2 then the last six digits of the number. International Phase 2 Your call is being connected. Your call is being connected.

Phase 3 The number you are trying to dial has now changed, please dial + 263 91 2 then the last six digits of the number. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) HOW DO I GROW WITH MY NUMBER? If you are existing Econet subscriber all you simply have to do is to keep your original number except that you add a 2 after the 091 for example the number 091 366 478 becomes 091 2 366 478. WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING? The numbering change is happening on the 26th of February 2007. Every time that you will make from that day onwards for a period of 2 weeks a voice will remind you that the numbering has been changed. I'M ON A BUDDIE /BUSINESS PARTNA /LIBERTIE LINE DOES THIS AFFECT ME? Yes it applies to everyone on the Econet network. WHY THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW NUMBERING PLAN? With over 800 000 subscribers we are almost reaching the 1 000 000 mark the new numbering plan will be able to increase capacity. With increased capacity, you are able to make more calls more easily. IN THE TRANSITION PROCESS DO I GET A NEW SIM CARD? No; all that changes for you is the number. -- SAD SERIES The second sad little cameo I witness daily is the life of abject poverty and misery in which my friend The Rsaagged Rasta Man lives. He lives under a bush at the top of our road. He bathes in the water from a broken pipe and gets his drinking water from the same muddy morass. He grows plants for me in old paint tins, wild guava plants, pawpaw trees and mango trees from old pips he picks up in the road. He "sells " these to me and I compliantly put them in the shade house and sometimes move them to Binga or Chimanimani if we have the space. Whenever I greet him and I say "How are you?" He says "I am fine thank you".......
