Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] LAGAAN - ONCE UPON A TIME IN INDIA Friday 28 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. N.B.TIME! Champaner... a small farming village in central India. The year is 1893. On the outskirts of the village stands a British cantonment, commanded by Captain Russell, an arrogant and capricious man who wields the power of life and death over the villages under his jurisdiction. When the villagers are unable to pay the crippling land tax due to drought and famine, Russell offers them a challenge: to assemble a team and face the British soldiers in a game of cricket. If the villagers win, the land tax will be waived for three years, but if they lose it will be tripled. The only problem is that the villagers have never heard of cricket before, much less played it... The five- star Bollywood blockbuster was described as "a must for all film-lovers!" and was No.14 on the BBC's list of "50 Films You Must See before You Die"! Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] 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 fiance/assistant Sarah Sherman (Julie Andrews). While there, she mistakenly picks up a message meant for him and discovers that he seems to be planning to defect to East Germany. As Armstrong g s undercover to glean top-secret information, the couple are swept up in a heart-pounding chase by enemy agents 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) Monday 7 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m., 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), reeds (those that vibrate inside the "belly' of the accordion), and similar sounds according to range, complicit like the two protagonists of this unusual duo! Finally, 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.

3) Roses And Raspberries Roses to our Rose - ROSY SHEARING. We were blown away by the fact that you had the courage to stop at the horrific accident on Cecil avenue and reached out to those in need, when others to were too frightened. It reminded us of how each day we are taken aback by the amount of blessings Rosy bestows on those around her in so many different ways within our community. More often than not quietly and unseen - yet with so much impact. There are so few in this world that are unfazed by demographics - that is why our Rosy is so special to so many. Thank you Rosy.

Passing of Chris Dixon It is with deep regret that I advise you all of the passing of Chris Dixon at 05h00 on October 21, 2011 in Harare, Zimbabwe. As we know Chris battled with the dreaded 'C' and let us rather rejoice and celebrate his life knowing his pain is over and now he can rest in peace. Chris attested with 16 PTC in March 1962 ad gained his Wings in June 1963. The Pilot By Gene West Where pilots can go when they have to die. A Place where a guy can buy a cold beer, For a friend and a comrade whose memory is dear; A place where no doctor or lawyer can tread, Nor a management type would ere be caught dead; Just a quaint little place, kind of dark, full of smoke' Where they like to sing loud, and love a good joke; The kind of place where a lady could go And feel safe and protected by the men she would know. There must be a place where old pilots go, When the paining is finished, and the airspeed gets low, Where the whisky is old, and the women are young, And songs about flying and dying are sung, Where you'd see all the fellows who have flown west before, And they call out your name, as you came through the door. Who would by you a drink, if your thirst should be bad, And relate to the others, "He was quite a good lad!" And then through the mist, you'd spot an old guy You had not seen in years, though he taught you to fly. He'd nod his old head, and grin ear to ear, And say, "Welcome my son, I'm pleased that you're here." "For this is the place where true flyers come," When their journey is over, and the war has been won." "They've come here at last to be safe and alone" "From the government clerks and the management clone," "Politicians and lawyers, the Feds and the noise," "Where all hours are happy, and these good ole boys" " Can relax with a cool one, and a well deserved rest," "This is heaven, my son... You've passed your last test!" "Rest in Peace Chris'" Deepest sympathies to Gail and family and also all of Chris's Course mates on 16 PTC Messages of sympathy can be sent to Gail on dixon@zol.co.zw Kind Regards Eddy Norris HASTINGS - Emma. Beloved mother of Hugh, Margaret and Sheila, mother-in-law of Peter, and grandmother of Justin and Katy, passed away peacefully in Pietermaritzburg, on Monday 17 October 2011, age 87.

33) TIDBITS
Comes The Dawn After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that love d sn't mean leaning and company d sn't always mean security And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn... 1971 by Veronica A. Shoffstall
Chairman's Statement Zimbabwe Power Company 2nd October 2011 (10pm) Starting with the end in Mind It is important that customers are regularly informed of the stark reality of generation capacity in Zimbabwe. If the facts are understood then it is up to each individual to assess how best they can cope going forward into the next four to five years. There has been no meaningful investment in additional power since the 1980's - 25years! Over the past two and a half decades there has been major growth in our population as well as a population drift to the urban areas. The demand for power is around 1,800 MW at daily peak and this is growing. Local installed operational capacity today is around 1,200 MW - so we have agap of 30%. As ZPC implement their program to stabilise and optimise the generation capacity at all its stations over the next 12 months the supply will increase to 1,500 MW - but in the meantime demand will continue to increase. The ONLY way to close this gap is to install additional capacity and the shortest timeline to achieve this is four years. So I urge all customers and stakeholders to understand this and take whatever steps they can to mitigate against this stunted power capacity. I suggest that an Energy Forum is established amongst major customer groups to facilitate dialogue around this critical aspect of life in Zimbabwe. Weneed to seek solutions that will help address this shortage: remove duties on solar power equipment, remove duties on low energy power devices, change the building by-laws to insist that all middle and high income new houses use solar geysers, insist that new mines install solar systems in their housing and other water heating processes etc. Most importantly to engage in a national education campaign on how to be more economical in our power usage. Other power producers need to be encouraged to enter the market. Licenses have been issued but it seems there is little appetite to invest, why? We need to debate these issues. An Update on Capacity Expansion Kariba and Hwange There has been a very positive response to the 'Expression of Interest' for the expansion at both Kariba and Hwange. The 'Expressions of Interest' closed in mid-September and our team of Hatch, KPMG Consortium and management are reviewing the documents before making recommendations to the State Procurement Board. This will then be followed by a formal tender to pre qualified companies. To ensure that the momentum is maintained it is vital that the Independent Regulator is put in place outside of the Ministry and that this new body engenders the confidence of potential investors. Small Thermals WAPCOS (an Indian consultancy group in the power sector) will finish the feasibility studies to re-power the boilers at the small thermal stations. We then intend looking for funding / joint venture partners to help us carry out these upgrades. Recent History and the Current Situation The month of September has not been a good month for ZPC and hence for you, the customer. Many of us over the last week have experienced up to five consecutive days of load shedding from 5am to 10pm. Why? Before I continue, it is important to note that ZETDC (Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company) hold the balancing of supply and demand / (load shedding) responsibility. They have a load shedding plan which is in turn based on their expectation of power supply from ZPC as well regional power utilities. ZETDC are forced to deviate from this plan when there is a sudden loss of power from their suppliers - power generation outages at times occur without warning and this throws out the planned load shedding regime. In writing this statement I will endeavour to give facts, to not be defensive yet not shy away from giving news that you need to hear. There are four main themes that run through the low generation this month and particularly over the last 10 days, namely: sluggish and below par (in my view) performance of the Original Equipment Manufacturers ( M), underperformance of the procurement and logistic chain (both in-house and external suppliers), ongoing cash flow challenges (ZPC have only received approximately 80% payment this year for the energy it has generated and sent out, as payment of imports are given precedence) and finally the ongoing occurrence of regional power swings( surges) into our transmission systems where protection is insufficiently robust. Some Detail If detail is not what you want please skip to the next section. Kariba Power Station This station has been generating at full capacity for much of the last two years except for planned shut downs. In June this year a failure occurred in the generator winding of Unit 2. These are copper windings as thick as one's arm. It can only be replaced by the M who had to design and outsource the replacement section. During this outage a crack was found in one of the turbine blades which only the M can repair. This repair work is under way and is scheduled for completion before mid-October. In my view the M did not, and could not be encouraged to, respond to our crisis with the urgency demanded by our unique situation or with the respect that a 30 year relationship deserves. Our MD has been in Europe this week to discuss this with the M. During the week ending 25th September the protection on Units 3 and 4 tripped. Unit 4 was isolated from the transformer which it shares with Unit 3. Unit 3 was then brought back into service. After meticulous trouble shooting it was found that switch gear and control devices, which were replaced by another M during our maintenance shut downs earlier this year, had failed. Repairs to these devices are underway under guidance of the M from Europe. So in summary Kariba has been down to four units for the last 10 days with the station expected to return to full capacity by mid- October. Hwange Power Station As I have mentioned in prior statements there is a significant amount of work still required to stabilise this station not the least of which is the Ash Disposal section of the process. As money becomes available we go to tender against a prioritised schedule of replacement components - some of which have lead times of up to one year! We have lost the four Phase One (smaller) units over the last week to 10 days. Unit 1 due to the failure of the 'Boiler Feed Pump' which is new and under warranty, Unit 2 due to a the failure of its thrust bearing, Unit 3 due to wear on its induction fans caused by the under-performing de- ashing system and Unit 4 due to the failure of its 'Boiler Feed Pump'. To exacerbate the situation the entire station was taken out by a surge out of Eskom (S.A) on Tuesday 27th September. At time of writing this statement we now have two Phase Two (larger) units and one Phase One(smaller) unit feeding the grid. We expect to bring another unit back overnight (Sunday) and the fifth by Wednesday this week. Small Thermal Stations These stations are situated in Bulawayo, Harare and Munyati. Our major constraint in maintaining modest outputs from these stations continues to be the availability of coal from our three suppliers. All three suppliers assure us that their production will improve over the next two months. Should this not be the case we will have to consolidate and probably run only two of the three stations. In the middle of this week NRZ went on strike. I must commend our management team and coal suppliers for their rapid response to this event. They mobilised over 40 trucks to haul the coal that was to move by rail. The next 12 months Major retrofitting and component replacement projects will continue over the next 12 months. WAPCOS (the Indian company that provides expert advice at Hwange) have provided an experienced project manager to help oversee these projects at Hwange. To execute these projects there will be extended planned outages of units on a sequential basis during the year ahead. For example the precipitators (ash handling) on Phase Two will be retrofitted over the next seven months therefore from the middle of October until May 2012 and one of the Phase two Units will be offline. At Kariba the system that governs the turbine blades, in sympathy to the power demand, will be replaced on each unit (six weeks per unit) on a sequential schedule. This means that from mid-December until September 2012 only five of the six units will be online. In addition, over the next 12 months, other units will need to be taken off line for shorter periods to undertake unit specific upgrades or repairs. There will also be the exogenous breakdowns. So in summary the power supply regime will for the next 12 months will be much the same as it has been for the last 12 months - all in a bid to stabilise and optimise supplies in the medium term. The refurbishment of the 40km pipeline from the Zambezi to the Hwange station remains a priority and is a one year project. The feasibility study was completed over two months ago and we await the outcome of possible of government-to-government funding with the government of India. The Tariff I wish to thank all stakeholders for their understanding on the need for a revised tariff after two and a half years of stagnation. The power w s of today are largely attributable to many years of suppressed earnings by this power utility. To have continued this trend would surely have led us into total darkness. Sadly this increase in tariff as of 1st October will not translate into immediate improvements in the availability of power. Lead times for retrofitting projects can be many months. Of equal importance is the positive message that this sends to investors: 'Zimbabweans are prepared to pay for their power.' I urge all of you to take personal responsibility for your power usage. There seems to be a misapprehension that load shedding automatically results in a dramatic reduction in your power usage and hence cost. This will not be the case if you do not manage your consumption. While you sleep the power comes back on and heats geysers, runs fridges and pumps etc. Board The board of ZPC remains committed to its responsibilities for the company whose performance is critical to the economy of this country. We see our role as more than one of oversight and governance. We therefore spend time in mentorship roles as well as bringing our diverse skill-sets and experience to bear at an operational level when the situation demands. Arriving at solutions to the complex challenges that have been imposed on the company over the years (lack of investment in new capacity, foregone maintenance of existing infrastructure etc.) requires a team effort. We have commissioned the 'Institute of Directors Zimbabwe' to undertake a performance review of the ZPC board. In Closing I hope reading this statement improves your understanding of recent events and the challenges that all of us will face in the medium term - until additional generation capacity is installed. It is essential that we find ways to hold dialogue across all walks of life on this key economic driver and household resource. R. Maasdorp Chairman ZPC
