Aiden Diggeden
For those of you who may remember this fellow and may not know that he died of a heart attack last week.

The Legend Of Aiden Diggeden
Zimbabwe's legendary Ford car obsessed prison breaker: Aiden Diggeden
In 1984, while doing grade five at Driefontein Mission one of my Harare friends serenaded us with the stories of a legendary criminal and jail breaker he referred to as 'Diggy Den'. I was fascinated by the tales told, though I never believed any of them. I was partly embarrassed too because being a policeman's son, I had never heard of this Diggeden. During the next holidays, I asked my father about Diggeden. My father related how this thieving and amazing white man escaped from any jail that ever tried to hold him. I was fascinated by it all.

Then one Saturday morning some twenty five years later, I went hunting for old books in Melville in Johannesburg. While trawling through old books from Rhodesia, my eyes were attracted by a book with the titled 'Some Famous Rhodesian Trials' by Alan Hardy. On opening the book, I was overjoyed to discover that one of the criminals covered in the book was Aiden Diggeden. For the first time, I had finally found something written and authentic about Diggeden. I immediately paid the R 180 price for the used book. It was money well spent. Aiden Diggeden was indeed one of those to whom the name legend is used without exaggeration. He was a criminal, yes, but one who made his trade proud. Alan Hardy narrates an amazing story of a man who could escape from any prison and yet had an obsession to steal Ford motor cars.

History Diggeden was born in Bulawayo in 1939. He attended his primary school there before proceeding to Chaplin High School in present day Gweru for his high school education. Chaplin was also Ian Douglas Smith's alma mater. Even in his days at Chaplin, he proved quite an adept thief. On leaving school, Diggeden was sent to prison in 1962 for stealing five cars- all of them Fords! He was sentenced to four years' hard labour. Yet imprisonment, or should I say being in prison, Diggeden did not stop him!

On 30th September 1962, a large quantity of electric goods was stolen from a large Bulawayo shop. On the same day, a Ford Zephyr and a Ford Consul were reported stolen. One of the cars was found parked opposite Grey's Prison, where Diggeden was serving his sentence. The police were at sea about the culprits who had committed the crime.

A month later, CABS offices in North End, Bulawayo were broken into and a large safe was stolen. On the same day, it was reported that two cars, a Ford Zephyr and a Ford Consul had been stolen. The safe was recovered in a farming area after the culprits were disturbed while trying to break it open. Once again, one of the stolen cars the Ford Consul was found parked opposite the prison.

Two days later, robbers staged a daring attempted to steal $ 32, 000 which were wages being transported by the railways. After a mishap, the robbers disappeared into the night without managing to steal the cash. Police found a stolen Ford car next to the Mpopoma Siding, while another Ford was found near Grey Street Prison! A mistake in the railway robbery attempt gave the police the clue they wanted. A key dropped by the robbers showed that it belonged to Grey Street prison. The police were excited about the three prisoners sharing a cell: Diggeden, a renowned car thief with a penchant for Ford cars; Rinder who had attempted to use explosives in a bank robbery; and a violent criminal called Scalding. As Hardy says: 'They were safely in gaol at the time of the unsuccessful train robbery and each of the previous unsolved robberies.'

However, thorough police interrogations got Rinder and Scalding confessing. They had smooth talked a prison guard to allow them to go in and out of prison. On searching their cell, the police found an assortment of tools useful for their crime spree. But Diggeden, a former Railways employee himself, could not stomach a new criminal trial for the crimes committed from prison. He therefore planned his escape from prison. The plan was to stage a mass break out. The rest of the prisoners would surrender once outside the prison walls, while Diggeden and his associates would escape. During the escape, Rinder and Scalding developed cold feet and gave themselves up, but not Diggeden! He vanished into thin and was 'neither seen nor heard of again in Rhodesia until 1965'. Diggeden had 'made his way to South Africa where he operated under assumed names. Posing as a car salesman he continued his life of crime in a somewhat more flamboyant fashion.' He reportedly got so good at trampoline that he won the South African trampoline title.

By this time, Diggeden was operating under a false name. He was known as Colin Nicholas Trauter. He was arrested for car theft but escaped from a jail in Johannesburg before trial. He never returned to Johannesburg until 1980. During his South African stay Diggeden had not done small jobs. He had 'some fifty known cases of car theft'!

Diggeden re-entered Zimbabwe in February 1966 through Forbes Border Post in present day Mutare with a companion named John Terence Dillman. They had British passports and pretended to be visitors in transit to Zambia. Shortly after arriving in the then Salisbury, Diggeden and his friend did something uncharacteristic- they stole a Mini Cooper! They then went to CABS branch in Mabelreign and held up the teller before making off with $ 1,750 using a toy gun. The police was put on national alert. Meanwhile, Diggeden and his companion had headed to the City of Kings by train. They decided to check into the Plaza Hotel and hired a room in the name of J T Dillman. When police came around the hotel sniffing around for them, the pair made off from the breakfast table and left behind $ 1 680 of the bank loot behind in Room 111! Police also found two passports in the name of JT Dillman. This enabled the police to link Diggeden to the bank robbery. The teller identified the two men in the passports as the robbers.

A nationwide manhunt was launched, but it came to no avail. Police then received the news that Diggeden and Dillman had been arrested in Zambia for car theft and had been convicted and sentenced to three years imprisonment. Two senior detectives travelled to Zambia to interrogate them. While Dillman admitted the offences, Diggeden denied everything. Yet, he informed the detectives that he intended to escape from prison in Zambia. Diggeden was found with a hack-saw blade which he intended to use for his escape and was charged with attempted escape in the Zambia High Court on 9th September 1966. Diggeden lived up to his reputation. During the court proceedings, Diggeden sprinted out of court and disappeared into thin air!

On arrival in Bulawayo two days later, the fugitive was arrested by detectives. He pleaded guilty to a number of the crimes he was facing and was sentenced to thirteen years in jail. In order to ensure that Diggeden served his sentence, they transferred him to Salisbury maximum prison (present day Chikurubi). When prison authorities heard rumours that Diggeden was planning another escape, they confronted him. Typically, he replied that the prison would never hold him. They had been warned! As Hardy relates:

'Just one year after his recapture, at 3.45pm on 31 January 1968, one of the most daring and ingenious escapes in the annals of Rhodesian prisons was under way. Months of planning and preparation went into this amazing man's next bid for freedom.'

Aiden Diggeden had fortuitously come across the master key of the maximum security section. He had sketched and made a copy at the prison workshop. He had also stolen civilian clothes from the store room and also made another key for the trap door above the maximum section. Diggeden and his accomplice Lionel Barker used their duplicate keys to escape from cells into the loft. From there they made a ladder using stolen towels and other materials. They then crawled on the roof timbers and opened an air-vent they had previously loosened. As Hardy narrates:

'Here they paused, forty feet above the ground. After securing the rope-ladder, Barker went first, but is weight was too much for the ladder and he plunged to the ground, breaking his leg in the fall.'

This is the moment we would shout in the village, 'koinda nhete hobvu dzokorwa nemanda'! The fat one was pulled back by his weight! The injury cost Barker his escape. But Diggeden would not abandon his comrade. He carried him to the prison chapel and prepared him a bed with bench cushions. Diggeden stayed with Barker comforting him until at 4.30am when Diggeden then made his next move. Barker remained in pain in the chapel and would not alert anyone until Diggeden was well on his way. Diggeden used one of the chapel benches to jump over perimeter and made his way to the prison parking area. He concealed himself under one of the trucks and at 5.30am, he was driven out of the prison while hiding between the body and the chassis.

Diggeden slipped off and made his way to what is now Chikurubi Support Unit. 'Walking to the police depot nearby, and in his usual audacious manner, he stole a bicycle which belonged to a depot inspector, and rode to Salisbury.' Diggeden was back to freedom! Another national man hunt was unleashed.

Surprise, surprise...on getting into the city, Diggeden stole another Ford Anglia. The Ford Anglia found abandoned the next day along Mazoe Street. He stole another Ford which the police found abandoned near the central police station. Diggeden went under and only surfaced some days later in Bulawayo. A detective gave chase as Diggeden drove a stolen car but lost the target. On 7th February, the police finally made a breakthrough. 'An African storekeeper telephoned the police saying that a man who could have been Diggeden had been into the store and had then boarded an African bus heading for Essexvale (now Esigodini). Diggeden was arrested on the bus. He was taken back to Harare and, seeing all his accomplices had confessed, admitted what had happened. He was sentenced to a further eighteen months for escaping. He now faced a total imprisonment of fourteen and a half years.

But Diggeden would not be suppressed. A year later he made another dash for freedom. This time, he asked to see the prison senior officials. He just dashed off while being accompanied back to holding cells from the visit. He out sprinted the surprised guards and scaled a sixteen feet wall to momentary freedom. A detective who was nearby disturbed this dash to freedom. Diggeden was arrested again. His additional sentence meant that he faced the prospect over sixteen years in jail.

But Diggeden was not done yet. 'At 6.45pm on 6 August 1970, the seemingly inconceivable happened. Diggeden, under stringent maximum security surveillance and confined to a cell measuring ten feet by eight feet and ten feet high, for approximately sixteen hours a day, was reported to have escaped from prison and was again on the run!'A massive man hunt was called off three hours later after Diggeden 'was found hiding in a water-tank on the roof of one of the cell blocks.' Another year was added to his sentence for the attempted escape.
According to Hardy:
'The forlorn outlook of over seventeen years of incarceration and the possibility of extradition to South Africa at the end of his prison term in Rhodesia, gave Diggeden little to look forward to other than to plan his next escape, and somehow to get out of the country.'
As expected, Diggeden escaped again from the maximum prison on 15 November 1971. This time he used a key he made in the prison workshop to escape the maximum security section. Hardy explains the most incredible escape plan:

'His plan was so extraordinarily impudent that it is difficult to believe he actually got away with it. Dressed as a prison guard ostensibly in charge of two European prisoner- one carrying a film projector and the other a screen- Diggeden nonchalantly walked to the main gate of the prison. Disguising his voice, and in an admirably authoritative manner, Diggeden told the duty warder to open the gate as he had outside work for the two prisoners to perform, saying that he was taking the two men to give a cine show at the prisoners' mess. Bidding his 'colleague' a pleasant 'cheerio', the duty warder opened the main gate and let the three men out!'

You have to give it to Diggeden! Once outside the prison, he stole 'a warder's Ford Anglia which was parked outside the prison gate and the three men drove towards the city centre.' They were free for a few days before a tip-off from members of the public who had seen them driving a white Ford in the Avenues area started a man hunt 'described as the biggest in Rhodesian history'. Diggeden and his two accomplices were finally cornered in the Avenues that evening and arrested. In February 1972, Diggeden received 'two years' hard labour for escaping and an addition two years' hard labour for taking and driving a car without the owner's consent. Three years and six months of the sentence were conditionally suspended.'

This sentence marked the last time Diggeden would attempt to escape from prison. He served twelve years out of a sentence of eighteen years and was released from prison on 16 November 1978. The day after his release, he left for England to take up a job as an accounts clerk. While in England, Diggeden found time to write a letter to the police magazine the Outpost. The letter was reproduced by other national papers. In the letter, he praised the police for the hard work they put in ensuring that he was arrested for his offences!

But Diggeden was not done with crime. On 11 April 1980, newspapers reported that Diggeden had been jailed for five years for stealing 41, 000 British Pounds from British employers. Shiri ine muririwo wayo! The money was apparently squandered on a trip to South Africa, where he had unfinished business with the law over the theft of over fifty cars some years before.

The whereabouts of Aiden Diggeden remain a mystery. He is one compatriot I would want to sit down with and listen to the story of his life. His obsession with Ford, his aversion to imprisonment and his ability to escape from prisons make him a true legend in his own right. It is said that much of his loot was invested in Kruger Rands gold coins in South Africa. If you see a wealthy fellow, in his 70s, driving a Ford, you may be in the presence of 'greatness'! May we never see his like again!

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY

THE TUDORS
Thursday 3 April at 6.30 in the Robert Sibson Hall.
In these final episodes of the first series, the mysterious sweating sickness arrives in England, killing both the high-born and low-born and Anne Boleyn contracts the illness, More's influence grows and Thomas Cromwell begins to intrigue whilst Wolsey's increasingly desperate efforts to end the Henry's marriage to Katherine of Aragon seem doomed to failure... 'The glorious, gorgeous "The Tudors" is the best series since "The Sopranos". Period.' [New York Post] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available ($6.00) during the interval

ANNA BOLENA
Friday 4 April at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
A rather different look at the Tudors! 'With her sensational role debut at the Vienna State Opera, superstar diva Anna Netrebko displays a performance of rare vocal and dramatic power. The Russian soprano sings the role of the unjustly accused second wife of British King Henry VIII, veering between indignant fury and tender righteousness, and demonstrating a new level of confidence in her technique...' The performance also stars mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca, in 'a fantastic display of bel canto' (Opera News again) as Anna's rival Jane Seymour. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

THE LONG WALK TO FINCHLEY / MARGARET
Thursday 10 April at N.B. 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
Margaret Thatcher died a year ago on 8 April 2013; these two BBC films chronicle the beginning and end of her career. 'The Long Walk to Finchley', subtitled in the initial credits 'How Maggie Might Have Done It', is a sometimes satirical look at her early years in politics from her attempts to gain a seat in Dartford in 1949 to her successful campaign to win nomination in Finchley ten years later, whilst 'Margaret' charts her fall from power, one of the most extraordinary stories of political assassination the world has seen. It took only eleven days for her to go from being the most powerful woman in the world to the tearful figure in the back of the car, and in 'Margaret' we watch a woman changing from leader to victim before our eyes and losing the one thing she really cares about - power. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available ($6.00) during the interval

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM - BALLET
Friday 11 April at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
George Balanchine had been familiar with 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' from an early age, appearing aged eight as an elf in a production in St. Petersburg, and he could recite portions of the play by heart in Russian. He loved Mendelssohn's overture and incidental music for the play and it is this score, Balanchine later said, that inspired his choreography in a ballet about the transforming power of love. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

ACADEMY CHAMBER MUSIC GROUP

Saturday 12 April at 6:00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall

How sad I am to read today of the passing of Joy Ketts. Looking back over my school years in Bulawayo, there were certain teachers who left an indelible impression on me.
Joy Ketts was certainly one of them. She was my Std. 3 teacher at Moray Road in 1959, and I always remember her as being kind, caring and dedicated to her pupils beyond measure. She rode her bicycle to school, and as I remember was one of the first members of staff to arrive in the morning and one of the last to leave the school at the end of each day. She coached netball in the afternoon and ran a Scripture Union group. I know that the Biblical principles she taught have stayed with me to this day. But one thing for which I have been eternally grateful for was Joy's love of anything to do with needle and knitting crafts. Her needle work club was one of my delights! She taught me to do stencil embroidery on Irish linen cloths, cross stitch and binca work, and perfected the hand sewing and knitting my mom and gran had already taught me. I have a 1950's walky-talky doll which to this day is dressed in the hand stitched outfit she helped me with. The outfit was entered into both the Bulawayo and Salisbury Agricultural Show competitions, as were several tray cloths I embroidered. I did not win a prize for my doll's outfit but over the years had more luck with several tray cloths. I am sure I still have one or two in my possession. But I am sure Joy's greatest achievement with me was lifting my performance the year I sat in front of her from somewhere near the bottom of the class to a lofty 5th! Was I ever so proud!
I did not keep contact with Joy after primary school, but feel her passing as the cutting of another tie to my early life in Bulawayo.
May Joy rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord she loved.

Roses

We would like to thank everybody for their prayers, their amazing emails and their help. All your unwavering support brought tears and strength to us all as a family during this chapter of our lives. We would not have managed to get through this without the support from each and every one of you, nor get Michaela the help she needed. It brought a ray of sunshine every day to hear from all of you here in Zimbabwe and made us a little less homesick for the people of this kind and caring community. You all touched our hearts and we are proud to be associated with such amazing people. Thank you seems so inadequate for the level of support and caring you have given us. Thank you and God bless you all.

Just for the record those of you that wanted to book elephant rides and lion walks with us in our garden will have to book elsewhere the elephants went back to the falls and the lions went back to Gweru.

ZAMBEZI RIVER AUTHORITY

Water! Today, Tomorrow!
PRESS RELEASE
20 March, 2014

ZAMBEZI RIVER AUTHORITY APPEALS FOR CALM ON THE KARIBA DAM WALL STORY

Following reports in the local and international media on the status of the Kariba Dam Wall, the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) would like to inform the general public and all stakeholders that the Kariba Dam Wall is in a stable state.

ZRA regrets the misinterpretation on the facts about the Kariba Dam Wall impending collapse which caused alarm among stakeholders and the public in general. While the situation at the Kariba Dam Wall is cause for grave concern, the engineers on the ground have the situation under control. This does not translate to an immediate calamity. However, all urgency is expected in order to avert any such catastrophe as dam failure.

The information carried in the media emanated from a co-operating partners' conference held on 12 March, 2014 in Livingstone, Zambia to mobilize funds for the rehabilitation of the Kariba Dam Wall.

The information denotes the scenarios that could possibly occur should ZRA fail to carry out maintenance and monitoring on the dam wall. ZRA carries out inspections and surveys twice a year on the Kariba Dam. In addition, every five years, a special safety inspection is undertaken with experts from France who were involved in the original design of the dam, with the last inspection having been undertaken in 2010. Other ad hoc inspections are conducted from time to time when required.

Furthermore, there are several instruments in the dam wall which measure stress, any changes or movement in the wall, water pressure and drainage. These are continually inspected and have remained intact over the last 54 years.

In recent years, concern has been raised over the safety of the Kariba Dam wall which was built over 50 years ago. The dam wall now requires a series of rehabilitation works in order to avoid gradual degradation of key dam safety features while maintaining operations levels acceptable in accordance with international operating standards. In its five year strategic plan (2010-2014) ZRA had identified 'Undertaking critical dam maintenance programs' as one of its objectives in that period. These are being undertaken while a lasting solution is being sought, hence the co-operating partners' meeting to raise funds for the major rehabilitation works which are:

I. Plunge Pool Re-shaping. The plunge pool which is immediately downstream of the dam wall requires re- shaping and stabilization to limit scouring and erosion that could undermine the dam foundation, leading to dam failure.

II. Spillway Refurbishment. This involves designing, fabrication and installation of an emergency gate and a new gantry to prevent uncontrolled loss of water in the event of floodgate failure, which would result in water levels dropping below the minimum operational levels and interrupting power production.

III. Refurbishment of the upstream stop-beam guides and replacement of secondary concrete to prevent failure during operation of stop-beams.
To ensure concerted efforts in resource mobilization for the critical works and other projects, the Governments of Zambia and Zimbabwe, through its Council of Ministers (COM) meeting, appointed a resource mobilization committee (RMC).
It is with this background that the co-operating partners took a keen interest in the project and agreed to identify financial options, including timelines.
The Kariba Complex is central to the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP) with 3200MW of the 50 000MW capacity translating to 15% of SAPP total power output. 50% of the Zambia/Zimbabwe energy output is equivalent to Angola's total needs and double Namibia's needs. (WB Report 2010).
The humanitarian implication at 273km3 of flood water ( 185km3 from Kariba Dam and 52km3 from Caborra Bassa) would be four times the largest recorded release at 61km3 over 90 days during the 1958/59 Kariba Dam Construction.
ZRA is currently updating its Emergency Preparedness Plan for the Lower Zambezi and also enhancing its internal processes and procedures for preparedness.
ZRA takes this opportunity to re-assure the public and all our stakeholders that there is no need to panic as the situation is under control. ZRA will continue to fulfill its mandate of monitoring, maintenance and corrective measures to protect the dam and ensure its safety.

INTRODUCING THE LEGISLATURE

Dear Friends and Colleagues

It is my sincere pleasure to announce to you and request you to accept periodic receipt of my new personal research and advocacy media product - THE LEGISLATURE.
Basically, THE LEGISLATURE is a project that I have formulated with a view of disseminating information on what is happening in the Zimbabwean parliament (both lower and upper house). The project further seeks to make you aware of the various activities done by Members of Parliament (especially from Matabeleland) both inside and outside parliament in as far as their parliamentary mandate is concerned.

It is my hope and prayer that through this project I shall:
1. Research and share what MPs are debating in parliament,
2. Analyse and share the issues debated in Parliament relating to Matabeleland in particular and Zimbabwe in general,
3. Monitor and share the general trends on the participation of MPs in parliament using such tools as The MP- OMETER (a tool I developed in March 2014 to track the performance of Members of Parliament)
4. Share some vital information on the operations and functions of various sectors of the parliament of Zimbabwe,
5. Research and share factual and imperial evidence on parliamentary democracy in Zimbabwe with specific emphasis to Matabeleland.

The first edition of THE LEGISLATOR shall be sent to you on Friday 28 March 2014 and am looking forward to sharing THE LEGISLATURE with you weekly except if there is some BREAKING NEWS.

Please accept my invitation and your feedback, comments and constructive criticism shall always be welcome.

If you find THE LEGISLATURE useful, please recommend other people to be added on the mailing list and that can be done by sending their emails to me.

Sincerely
Khumbulani Maphosa

MALEME REST CAMP
The camp is looking wonderful at the moment - many of the lodges have been refurbished and the grounds are very well maintained.
A few points to note however :-
1. The power supply from ZESA is unreliable and, even when it is available, it may be weak. Take a small gas stove and gas light if you have or a rechargeable light or good torch.

2. Firewood is on sale at reception but it is a good idea to take kindling, old newspapers or fire-lighters, especially as the firewood may be wet.

3. Not all lodges have kettles and heating water on the stove takes ages so try to find out if there is a kettle in the lodge you have booked or take your own. Some lodges have round plugs and some have square so take an adaptor. There are no toasters, except maybe in the larger lodges.

4. All lodges have fridges but there are no ice trays so take your own ice if you need it.

5. Don't forget mosquito coils and/or repellant.

6. A table cloth for the outside tables is a good idea.

7. Reception closes at 6 00pm. If you arrive after that please find the overnight security guard. He will have your key.

ENJOY YOUR STAY!
