The appointment of Clive Stockhill of Save Valley Conservancy to the Zimbabwe Tourism Board with a special responsibility to improve the Beit Bridge Border Post is a step in the right direction In the pat the authorities have shown themselves to be totally clueless on how to deal with a national disgrace But what about the Bulawayo International Airport? Not only has there been an undue delay in bringing the new terminal on stream, but the present old building is also a national disgrace What Customs authority at any other international airport requires a search of luggage of every person passing through the Green Route labelled "Nothing to Declare" And is it really necessary to pay the priceless sum of $4 on excess duty and having to wait 20 minutes for the receipting officer to write recipes and search other luggage The printing cost of 3 copies of a "non carbon required" receipt must be $4 alone In this weather the building is hot and passengers get exasperated over congested luggage retrievals, poor queuing systems and the attitude of Customs Passengers flying in from First World countries roll their eyes in horror Between Air Zimbabwe and Zimra, there is a huge room for improvement The Minister of Tourism should get off his seat in Harare and cause something to happen in Bulawayo If he does not know how to do it, then professional outsiders should be engaged to give proper advice Bulawayo airport is an incredible bad indictment of Zimbabwe and has been in this state for too long Gordon Geddes Suburbs, Bulawayo Tonnes of ROSES to Juliet Johnstone of Roselyn Safaris for having made our staff retreat and team building activities an unforgettable experience!!!

7) Guardian Angels, Donations and Wish Lists Greetings Friends of BHN We hope that you have had a good holiday and we wish you all a Happy and Prosperous 2012 In 2004 BHN was established by its parent charity ZANE and focuses on Retirement Homes in Bulawayo Since dollarization the situation had been somewhat more manageable than the chaotic preceding period However with dollarization the levies increased by 400% with utility charges and wages increasing by up to 700% All homes had to increase their fees considerably when, in August 2011, employees in their sector were awarded a 30% wage increase backdated to January 2011 One home's committee observed that their salaries are greater than costs of electricity and provisions together The management personnel of the homes face an endless series of crises-many of them now near to breaking point BHN is working with the homes to keep them open It is a very sobering experience to visit these homes and also uplifting due to the spirit of determination and enduring goodwill amongst home staff in dire circumstances When informed about someone requiring our help, we work with the administrators in the homes We do individual means-tests and if necessary we will contact their relatives in order to ensure we are all fully informed about their necessity for help We will then pay the rent directly to the homes The homes were thereby relieved of the responsibility of dealing with people with no family and without the means to pay their rents We also assist the homes with food and emergency hospitalization and the community of Bulawayo has been magnificent in its awareness and support With the expertise of a local young enthusiast BHN is making a video about the retirement homes in Bulawayo, which we hope will be of interest We would like to invite all friends of BHN to see the video and also to meet and listen to Tom Benyon, who heads up ZANE He will be visiting Bulawayo in April We hope as many of you as possible will join us for an interesting evening The place and date will be advised in our March newsletter Sadly Maria Egerer who has done so much during the last six months to help raise the awareness of BHN in the local community has decided to move on We thank her for laying the foundation for this phase in the growth of BHN In this issue you will find: A summary of our income and expenditure for our Emergency Hospital Fund for 2011 A message from Garden Park and a brief history of Ralstein Home We helped Ralstein to apply to the Beit Trust for funding for solar geysers and it is exciting to hear that the funding has been approved This might create a precedent and help other homes to apply A story about Peter Rollason What a heroic pensioner he is!

A NO, under the Statutory Instrument 199 of 2000, there is no problem at all with the hand free unit, however, when driving the driver must have BOTH hands on the steering wheel, therefore, HOLDING or USING of a mobile phone whilst driving is an OFFENCE, one which will see the driver being issued a TICKET to appear in COURT So folks even just holding your mobile phone whilst driving will land you in the soup Keep it far away from you in your handbag or pocket, do not have your phone on the dashboard in front of you or between your legs, leave it on the centre consol between you and the passenger seat or in your handbag Q WHEN TRAVELING FROM BOTSWANA OR SOUTH AFRICA DRIVERS IS IT AN OFFENCE TO MIX PASSENGERS WITH GOODS? A No, this is not true neither is it an offence, this fine only pertains to Public Transports, i e busses & kombis, and NOT private vehicles Q CAN THE TRAFFIC POLICE FINE YOU FOR NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT ON THE BACK SEAT OF YOUR VEHICLE? A YES, correct this is an offence if the vehicle is fitted with seat belts for the back , then adults and children sitting on the back seat MUST use them This is especially important for toddlers and small children who tend to be standing up behind the driver seat, in the event of an accident those young children are usually the first to be either thrown out of the vehicle, or go through the windscreen Q IS IT AN OFFENCE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SHIRT ON? A YES, this is an offence and you will be fined for indecent exposure Q IF ONE IS INVOLVED IN A 'SMALL' ACCIDENT AND NOBODY IS HURT AND BOTH PARTIES EXCHANGE DETAILS ETC AND AGREE AMICABLY TO SORT OUT THE PROBLEM, DOES ONE STILL HAVE TO REPORT IT AS A CAR ACCIDENT? A YES, definitely 98% of the time people leave a 'small' accident scene and 2 days later the drama begins with one party wanting to sue the other party, ALL ACCIDENTS big or small MUST be reported to the Police Thank you Drive Safely Anna Androuliakos - CLUB 50 The Last Resort: A Memoir of Mischief and Mayhem on a Family Farm in Africa By Douglas Rogers Thrilling, heartbreaking, and, at times, absurdly funny, The Last Resort is a remarkable true story about one family in a country under siege and a testament to the love, perseverance, and resilience of the human spirit Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Douglas Rogers is the son of white farmers living through that country's long and tense transition from postcolonial rule He escaped the dull future mapped out for him by his parents for one of adventure and excitement in Europe and the United States But when Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe launched his violent program to reclaim white-owned land and Rogers's parents were caught in the cross fire, everything changed Lyn and Ros, the owners of Drifters-a famous game farm and backpacker lodge in the eastern mountains that was one of the most popular budget resorts in the country-found their home and resort under siege, their friends and neighbors expelled, and their lives in danger But instead of leaving, as their son pleads with them to do, they haul out a shotgun and decide to stay Further details, pricing and shipping : http://snipurl.com/21p6l95 Many thanks for your Bulawayo Mirrors They are very informative to many of us who were born there I used to work at Goetz Observatory then transferred out to Apprenticeship Inspectorate I lived in Kenilworth, 9 Irene avenue Does the house still exist and also what about the observatory?
