A fun day out in the country has been planned for Sunday 19 September
2004, in order to raise funds for the Bulawayo Branch of the SPCA. This
will take place at the Marula Farmers Hall.
The Flying Eagles Club have organised a sponsored cycle ride. This
will be open to all members of the public, no matter what your age. The
entry fee is $ 5 000-00 per rider or $ 20 000-00 per team. The idea is,
YOU raise sponsorship from friends, relatives, organisations,
businesses, for yourself to ride a bicycle to Marula; all proceeds going to the
SPCA. Some wonderful prizes have been donated!
The start of the cycle ride will be from Southwold Shopping Centre at
7.30 am. Registration will commence at 7.00 am.
The Vintage and Classic Club of Matabeleland will be doing a run to the
hall. Should wish a ride out to Marula in a vintage or classic car
please contact Brian Louth on 241139 (home) or 011 231 419.
A Country Fayre will take place out there. All sorts of exciting
goodies and treats will be on sale. Fresh hotdogs and boerewors rolls etc.
will be available as will beers, wines and softdrinks.
Come and have a wonderful day out in the country, and at the same time
you will be helping to care for our helpless dumb friends!
Please bring your own chairs and tables.

ANTI HIJACK TRUST
BULAWAYO UPDATE
03/09/04
August was a terrible month for house break ins, where a number of
victims have been traumatised and/or shot and it will take time for them to
recover, more so the psychological effects than physical. If you know
of anyone who has not been in contact with me, please ask them to do
so, as the support group meeting is coming up in September and we are
here to help each and every victim of this terrible crime and hijackings
of course. I will visit the victims well before the support group to
give them my individual attention and help. Amazingly enough, this
actually is pulling the community together - well done.
I want to emphasize yet again - will everyone stop this rumour
mongering that goes around. Do you realise the effects that it actually has on
the victims? Sometimes, with the rumours, it becomes more detrimental
not only to their health and their family structure, but to the
investigation itself. If you cannot keep quiet, make sure you hear the facts
correctly from the victim or someone who does not add on any exaggerated
bits to make the story more morbid. Also, please be more tactful
towards victims, do not say things like "So why did you not do
.............. at the time of the incident". I would like to remind people, you
were not there, so do not try to make out you know what you would have
done, every single person reacts differently to the situation at hand.
Over a period of 2 updates, I gave tips on how to secure your home.
Please make note of the following again:
- Your dogs barking differently - investigate
- Have outside lights on in all areas
- Question people sitting or walking around your area during the day
that you do not recognise - get your domestics involved in this.
- Do not leave keys in locked doors - take them out and put them in a
safe place that you can quickly get hold of them
- If you have your doors open, make sure you have a wrought iron door
padlocked whilst these back, front or french doors are open. Do not
have all doors open if you are only in one part of the house.
- Remember the power of intimidation works wonders not only on one
security guard, but also domestics - please keep this in mind always, no
matter how long they have worked for you.
The gang(s) at present are wanting jewelry, cellphones and money. No
rapes have taken place in these attacks according to the Trust's
records. They will try to intimidate you with the "action" if they require
more money etc, but they are getting more brazen about their actions and
I would not like to say it won't happen. What does worry me, is that
they are keen to shoot and just now someone is going to get murdered by
these gangs.
I would also like to advise people who belong to a "reaction unit".
Note, these companies do not allow their men to come onto the premises if
they are aware that the criminals have guns, this is natural, as the
reaction units are not allowed guns themselves. Nowadays the reaction
units know that every criminal has a weapon, so they will sit outside
your property or just up the road until the criminals have left your
property. For the amount of money you pay each month, I think it is about
time people got together and juggled ideas with the security companies
on how best they can be protected.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank "Mr Anonymous" for the
donation of a wonderful new computer for the Bulawayo office and to
those super individuals who donated money towards the Trust. In October, I
shall be asking people to assist with a little function, to be held at
the end of November or early December, for all those victims of
hijackings and house break ins, where we can get together with our families
and let our hair down. I shall require a venue, drinks and snacks to be
organised for free and have the sponsors attend and all who have
donated towards the Trust. It will be on a Monday night as nothing seems to
be open in Bulawayo on that night. So be prepared !!
The support group is meeting on the 21st September 2004 at 13:30
hours. Please contact me on 011-701 323 or email crime@mweb.co.zw for more
details as to where it is being held or if you are interested in me
giving a talk to your company or group of friends.
