Margaret Kriel - Letters from Zimbabwe

Morning Mirror Smalls 105 - 1/9/04

NOTICES

Performing Arts Bulawayo
Piers Lane (piano) Thursday 16 September ~ 7.30 p.m. ~ Robert Sibson Hall

Scriabin: 10 Preludes from Opus 11

Henselt: 12 Etudes de Salon, Opus 2

Chopin: 2 Nocturnes, Opus 27

Chopin: ~ 2 Waltzes: F sharp minor, Op Post; C sharp minor, Opus 64/2 Rachmaninov: Variations on a Theme of Chopin, Opus 22

Booking at Meikles. Tickets: $10,000 ($6,000 to members).

Piers will be making his fourth visit to Bulawayo and his programme presents music by four composer-pianists. Although those first two may not be so well known, early Scriabin brings with him more than a hint of Chopin whilst Henselt was one of the great composer-virtuosos of the 19th century (his concerto is reckoned to be perhaps the hardest of them all!) with an immediately approachable style. Piers has just recorded these Henselt Etudes so asked if he could include them and he will introduce them from the platform.

HELP NEEDED
We need a little bit of help. There seems to be many conflicting statements recounting the accident on Samora Machel cnr Rhodesville Ave on Friday the 13th of August 2004 where a lady, Mrs. Diane Hewitt tragically passed away. We know that so many people were at the scene of the accident, saw it happen and/or arrived shortly afterwards. We ask that perhaps they could come forward and help by sharing what they saw, and in trying to help the family and the police find out exactly what happened. If you were there or know of someone who was, please could you contact either:

Gary Hewitt 091 341 334 or Sam Hewitt on 490 416/091 315 768 or John Falkenberg 333192/011 403 172

Subject: Serious Warning - CELLPHONE FRAUD

If you receive a phone call on your cell from any person, saying that, he or she is a company engineer, or telling you that they're checking your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number. End this call immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press 90 or #09 they can access your "SIM" card and make calls at your expense. Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it.

Setting up a $10 million REWARD!

Dear Concerned Resident,

The Bulawayo Residents Association has been specifically formed to deal with the problem of the armed robberies that have taken place. We are proposing to increase the reward on the gang or gangs that have committed armed robberies in the Eastern Suburbs over the past two months.

The reward is presently 10 million for the gang.

The new proposal is 30 million per gang member arrested and convicted.

Our aim is to raise 150 million by 10-09-2004 which will be deposited in an account administered by Bulawayo Residents Association. The funds will be invested @ plus minus 75%. The interest will be used to advertise plus any expenses connected to the reward and apprehension of the gangs. The balance of the interest will increase the size of the fund.

The idea is to advertise the reward extensively through the media as well as posters throughout the Bulawayo area. A complete advertising campaign will take place which hopefully will ultimately pay dividends in the form of information leading to the arrests of the culprits. In the event of the reward not being paid out and the gang or gangs responsible vanish and the problem ends then the monies collected will be returned to the people who donated the funds. The alternative to this could be a continuous fund which will be used for future crimes ie. information leading to arrests of carjackers etc. This of course would only take place through consultation with your goodselves.

If you are in a position to help we have suggested a figure of $500000 as a starting point. If you are in a position to offer more this would be appreciated. Remember this is about security in your own home so that you and your families can once again not worry about looking over your shoulder at night to see who has entered your property with criminal intentions aimed at armed physical violence, robbery and possible rape.

We need to act now before someone else is seriously injured or killed. Remember "He who stands back and does nothing is as guilty as the perpetrator, God helps those who helps themselves!"

If you wish to donate please forward a cheque to M. Querl ABJ Engineering Cowden Rd Steeldale who has kindly offered to collect the monies. A receipt will be issued . Please make out the cheque to EASTNOR Agencies, on the back please put security a/c.

NOTE:- Please forward or speak to anyone else you feel who could also contribute towards this reward. Remember this is to help your community!

Thanking you for your interest and donation hopefully.

Bulawayo Residents Association.

ANTI HIJACK TRUST

BULAWAYO UPDATE

20/08/04

Attempted hijackings seem to be on the increase again, and I need these statistics if you have become a victim of an attempted or a full blown hijacking.

House break-ins with families in their homes and held at gun point is still a regular occurrence, even to the point of men walking in when people have friends over for dinner or braais. Do not think for one minute that you are safe with numbers, remember these robbers do have weapons and you have to think of yourself and your family first before trying to do any heroics. Again, I need these statistics and I will help you with your trauma if you have suffered from this terrible crime.

I STRESS in most circumstances, you will not be quick enough to react with a weapon of your own, as these men are there to subdue you and always have the element of surprise on you, the victim. Only if you think you can handle the situation and are ready to use a weapon, knowing the consequences of such actions, be it to your own detriment either physically or through the courts, then remember that is your decision and yours alone.

In this update, I would like people to understand about Post Traumatic Stress. This is a recognised medical condition and occurs after a stressful trauma like, hijackings or being held at gunpoint in one's own home or in town. There are a number of symptoms that go with it, and I shall mention a few. Memory loss Loss of appetite Nightmare of the incident happening again High or low blood pressure

If you suffer with any of these or other symptoms, please do call me for help or join the support group which meets once a month, every third Tuesday at 1:30. For more details, please contact me so that I can tell you the venue etc.

Hot areas at present in Bulawayo for gangs slashing tyres and surrounding cars is the whole of Robert Mugabe Street from 14th Avenue towards Leopold Takawira Avenue. Behind Haddon & Sly shop and 13th Avenue/ George Silundika St are a number of attempted hijackings, grabbing of bags and cell phones from owners cars. 9th Avenue/Fife Street is also terrible with people hitting the cars and taking you off guard then grabbing goods from your seats (when they should be in the boot!).

I have also had people coming forward and stating how they are getting followed from the Banks. If you feel that the tellers are involved, you must get hold of the security for that particular bank, and I do not mean the guards, but each bank has their own internal security. Deal with them directly. Gangs break up outside making one follow the victim inside and to listen to what they have and then they congregate again outside and will follow either by foot or car, so be aware at all times when going to the banks. If you are dealing with wages or huge withdrawals for companies, take at least 2 other people with you. Never go alone! Remember your life is more important than losing it for the sake of your company. You are not indispensable that they will not replace you!

If you would like me, Tracey Burns, to give a speech to a group, company or school, please do not hesitate to contact me on 011-701 323 or email me: crime@mweb.co.zw I also help with care-giving to victims of hijackings or house break-ins.

Those people who wish to donate anything to the Trust, please make sure you deal with me directly or I can give the go ahead via other people that I know and trust, as I don't want anything handed to someone stating they are a member of the Trust and they actually aren't. There is far too much collar & tie fraud around at present.

Thank you to those few members of public that have offered donations, since my last news letter with it's wish list.

Take great care out there Tracey

Do people know that Tom Benyon is coming to speak to British War Veterans at the Bulawayo Club on 2nd Sept at 5 p.m. ? He is starting up a fund to help them out with some sort of pension, I think. If you know anyone who might qualify, do let them know.

Message: Please help - on behalf of my elderly mother I need to find a telephone no. or email address to contact Connie Campbell wife of Robyn Campbell (dec). They are life long friends, someone rang my mother in UK to ask for an email address so they can be in contact but my father said they didn't have one, not realising I could do it for them, nor did he ask for their email contact details. So if any of Connie's family or anyone who knows how I can find her could contact me I shall be eternally grateful. Her daughter is Lynette Evans, grandchildren Heath and Tanya Evans.

Hello in Bulawayo - beautiful city as I remember it from my days at Eveline. I am looking for my sister in law, Gail du Preez or her children, Guy, Sally Ann, Clare (Grobler) and Antoinette. Her brother Dick, would dearly love to hear from any one of them after 40 years. If anyone knows their whereabouts, please contact me on chitumbu@yahoo.co.uk

Cary Dorman Date: 27 April, 2004

My wife Barbara and I are Americans who will be traveling to Zim in May and June. We have dear friends, Peter and Anthea Nash, who lived outside Filabusi. They lost their land and since that time none of my letters to them have been answered. If you know the Nash family or know anyone or a source I could e-mail to help us locate them I would be forever in your debt. This web site shows the Nash's had an advertisement for a television for their apartment in Bulawayo in April 2003. I tried calling the cell-number , o 11613614, to no avail. Please , if you have any thoughts on how to locate these wonderful people write to wcd@hdlsl.com. Thank you so much, Cary Dorman

Sharon Pincott's book, "In an elephant's rumble"
I can highly recommend Sharon's book....I have been extremely privileged to receive some of her delightful narratives over the last few years(some of you will have read the ones I shared). I can never get enough! They make one laugh & cry, sometimes at the same time!!. They are guaranteed to stir deep emotions in all those who have a love of the African bush. The many & varied tales are vivid, poignant, & entrancing. The book will have particular relevance for those to whom Hwange National Park is a very special place. If elephants are as spectacular & special to you, as they are to me, Sharon's evocative book is a 'must read'. Her excellent descriptive style will put you right there, next to her, as she reveals the daily joys, dramas & tragedies of Africa's gentle giants, as they unfold. C.H.
