Near Death Experiences.

HeeHoo always arrives home for lunch fuming, he regales me with his trips to and from the office, gesticulating wildly and using choice language, which is not normally in his nature. I have to wait until he calms down before I can give him his favourite soup.

Why ?
Because every trip he makes to and from work is filled with N.D.E.s (Near Death Experiences) In a journey of about five kilometres he, and everyone else in Zimbabwe, encounter the most incredible driving, probably comparable to the worst in the world.

The law does not exist on our roads anymore. Its tantamount to flagrant defiance and culpable behaviour.

Traffic lights are flouted, stop signs are disregarded, white lines are ignored. It's a shocking and criminal state of affairs and the police are helpless, it would appear, to be able to take control.

The other day, returning from the airport at night, we counted no less than forty vehicles with no lights at all, or only one light. It was a hazardous trip to say the least, especially as they had all come through the police roadblock that is always situated near the Umguza Bridge. We personally watched them being waved through the roadblock, vehicles with only one headlight working, often no tail lights at all.

Why are they not impounded there and then

The death rate on the roads surely must be causing concern, we personally know three people who have been killed on Zimbabwe roads recently.

2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds

CONDOLENCES

MIKE HARVEY

We say goodbye to one of Bulawayo's most respected gentlemen.

A man of presence. Honourable, likeable, extremely talented in so many spheres - Mike Harvey, formerly of Ernst and Young, passed away and will be mourned by many.


CONT MHLANGA

VETERAN playwright, actor and theatre director Cont Mhlanga has died.

Founder of Amakhosi Theatre Productions company, Mhlanga died this morning at a private clinic.
National Arts Council of Zimbabwe executive director Nicholas Moyo 'National Arts Council of Zimbabwe Board and Management announces to the nation and the Cultural and Creative Sectors in Zimbabwe and internationally the sad passing on of the legendary Conte Mdladla Mhlanga,' Moyo said.

'Mhlanga was admitted in hospital 10 days ago, whilst his situation seemed to stabilise, it took a different turn in the last three days.'
Moyo said the nation will be informed of further details of the unfolding situation in due course.

Mhlanga's career in the cultural and creative industries began in 1982 when he formed Amakhosi which started as a youth karate club, but switched to professional theatre in 1988.
