STREET KIDS

You will know you have lived in Bulawayo too long when the street kids call you by your Christian name and they are the kids of the street kids you knew as a child !!

'Clever' is my favourite street kid. Clever hangs out in the back of a smart 4x4 truck in Jason Moyo avenue along with a number of other young lads. (I wonder whose car it is, is it their car or do they get free seating in exchange for guarding this rather nice motoring piece )

The other street kids all know that I only deal with Clever and they leave me alone and don't bother me in the least.

Clever lives up to his name, he is innovative, bright and friendly without being pushy. He had the bright idea of 'purloining' a can of black shoe polish and will buff your tyres really nice and black if you let him.

In fact his name should be 'Colgate" because he has a set of dentures a film star would be proud of. No dentist will ever need to go anywhere near Clever's magnificent molars.

Clever does not want to be a street kid, he at least has aspirations unlike some of the others. He would like a permanent job and a little esteem in the community.

Jayjay on the other hand is a confirmed street kid, he likes the buzz of the Bulawayo CBD but he also has a great passion for cricket. Hence his favourite job touting location used to be outside Queens cricket grounds during those halcyon days when we would watch our boys in red hitting sixes and the like around that magnificent venue.

Jayjay would deftly park his clients in nice shady locations and then hop into the back of a strategically parked truck and watch cricket for five magic days.

Jayjay is a direct descendant of the young street kid we all knew way back in the seventies, called Sixpence,

Where Sixpence is now I have no idea but I fear he fell into a crowd with bad habits and went the way of most traditional street kids.

Not all street kids are bad, not all of them sniff glue and drink meths according to the media, some of them deserve a break in life, and there are organisations who are endeavouring thank goodness, to give these lads a second chance.

I was very happy to see one of my favourite Street Kids, Fortune, working as a packer at a supermarket at Ascot shops the other day!

Hopefully I won't have to see Sixpence's grandchildren guarding my car sometime in the years to come and that good fortune will favour these young men.

8) Bulawayo News

"Veteran Africa watcher, Christopher R Hill, has published his memoirs under the title 'Looking In: some observations". He is giving to charity the profits of both the hard cover and Kindle editions.
After a varied early career Hill took to teaching in 1965. His first university job was teaching Government at UCRN, now the University of Zimbabwe. He was there for UDI in 1965, but lasted only a year before being imprisoned and deported. He has an enlightening chapter on his year in Zimbabwe.
The University of York took him on for a year to teach Politics, and he stayed for twenty-seven years, during which he founded the University's Centre for Southern African Studies.
Hill has been close to the political action in Britain and Southern Africa and his book is full of insight".

Christopher Hill
PS The hard cover edition is best obtained by emailing me. I hope, but do not know, that the Kindle edition will be available in Zimbabwe.

Appeal from BULAWAYO SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Knowing that the lockdown has given folk time to sort out cupboards, garages etc - please have a look at our Charity Shop List and our Kennel Wish List - you may be surprised how many unwanted items to you - are just what we are needing here at the kennels!

Shop
All the volunteers who work at the charity shop deserve a big pat on the back, but they DO need items to sell! - apparently the shelves are rather bare, so they would appreciate any unwanted saleable household goods, such as ornaments, glassware, crockery, pictures, clothing, garden tools, small items of furniture, jam jars for the jam makers! - in fact anything they can sell to make money to help the kennels.
They have Ecocash for convenience - items can be dropped off at the Charity shop - 127e,Robert Mugabe Way.

Kennel and Clinic Wish List
If folk could donate any one of these items, that would be fantastic!
Old blankets and towels, Newspapers,Tinned + Dried Pet Food for Dogs and Cats, Fly Smear, Old Crepe Bandages, Latex Gloves, Face Masks, Paper Towels, Disinfectant Wipes, Antiseptic Wound Spray, Dressings, Toys for Cats, Cat Carriers, Dog Boxes or Cages, Fly Spray, Bolt Cutters, Brooms both Soft and Stiff, Disposable Aprons, off cuts of Foam Rubber to cover donkey harnesses.. all can be dropped off at the Kennels, cnr of Magazine and Khami Road - if you can donate just one of these items.. it will improve the welfare of at least one animal - Thank You!
