I thought I would just let you know that it seem that the SPCA is in dire straights at the moment.They only have one vehicle on the road at the moment and can't cope with all their call outs etc.I am not sure how many vehicles they need but I know that they have at least one other vehicle in repairs and there seems to be a problem repairing it.
The one vehicle that is still on the road is actually the one Berry uses and as a result she has not had a single day off since before Christmas.
Maybe a notice in the Morning Mirror might be an idea.You never know maybe some one out there could help.

Project Update Dec 2005:

2005 has drawn to a close leaving us with much to reflect on. In general it has been another astonishingly positive year, despite the continued difficulties presented by the current economic chaos prevailing in Zimbabwe, an inflation rate of over four hundred percent, not helping matters!!

The local painted dog population seems to be increasing towards the levels we enjoyed five years ago, with sightings coming in all the time now from different areas of the Gwayi Conservancy, the vital buffer zone north east of Hwange National Park, this despite some tragic losses. Earlier in the year 3 dogs were run over by cars and we were again confronted with such a loss earlier this month, only this time it was Sapper (aka Sikho), one of the dogs we knew well having captured and collared him in July. He was the older the male from the small pack of three dogs that visit our rehabilitation facility almost every day. The two remaining dogs continue to visit and seem to be surviving without any apparent difficulties, however they are so vulnerable, given that the female is still limping quite badly after 3 years, while the surviving male, Agula, still has much to learn at only two years of age. We have another pack of five dogs in the area, comprising an adult male and female plus their three pups. It seems obvious to us that the two packs should join up and thus increase their combined chances of survival, however the dogs don't seem to think like that and so we can only watch events unfold.

With the pack of fifteen doing well in the Main Camp area plus sightings of 4 dogs and another 6 coming in from the eastern side of the Gwayi, the picture is looking healthier than it has for a couple of years at least. Testament to the dog's resilience and the work we are doing to create an environment that they can flourish in. To round of such an encouraging year for the dogs, I received a report on how well our four dogs are doing in Matusadhona. They are being seen regularly enough along near to the National parks base at Tashinga, chasing kudu and seemingly in excellent condition. Once the rainy season is over, Jealous and I will make that drive once again to check on them for our selves, but for now we are happy with the regularity of the reports coming in.

Our APU have received much deserved recognition this year for their bravery and commitment, while our Children's Bush Camp continues to provide a life times experience for the children that attend the 15 primary schools in our region. Sikhosana Sibanda (APU) and Wilton Nsimango (Bush Camp) head these two significant aspects of our work. They were joined by Xmas Mpofu, who runs our Rehabilitation Facility and of course the redoubtable Jealous Mpofu, at a recent Community Day organised by National Parks Management. It was a great opportunity for the four of them to present the work they do and Painted Dog Conservation as a whole, to the General Public and underlines for me one of the key aspects of our work, which is capacity building, an essential element if we are to continue developing. It is not only our staffs that we are committed to however, as the capacity building extends beyond our own boundaries to encompass staff from near by safari lodges, the police and of course our closest neighbours, National Parks.

2006 will bring more determined effort on our part to make a difference to the lives of the wildlife and the people who share the environment with our beloved painted dogs.

On the 19th December 2005, one of the subscribers to our mailing list decided to do something for Zimbabwe.Anna Lynn Robinson, who resides in the United States, is, amongst her other talents, a dedicated writer and enthusiast of poetry of many genres.After receiving Cathy Buckle's last letter of 2005, she was inspired to initiate a poetry competition on the "All Poets" website.She implored members of her poetic community to visit the Zimbabwe Situation Homepage and the "African Tears" website, peruse them, and write poetry on the Zimbabwean situation, which would be a competition earning points on the AllPoetry website.People were also encouraged to comment on the submitted poems and this created a "melting pot" of ideas and opinions that were as amazing to read as the submitted poems.It was gratifying to know that a lot more people than we in Zimbabwe realise are aware of our situation, and a great number more were made aware by Anna's initative. On the 2nd of January the competition was closed and judged, and the winners announced.I have decided to publish, with the author's permission, the winning poem.
The author is another US resident who has visited Zimbabwe, and her name is Zayra Yves.She says of her poem: "I did read all of the web sites suggested in this contest.I found they each had their strengths and information that was invaluable.I have also had the privilege of travelling in Zimbabwe...It was a place that touched my heart, as all of South Africa really did in her own way. And, I have friends there. You may send my poem to the web site, regardless of winning or not winning.I entered this contest because it spoke to me and I want to reach back into that feeling. Thank you for hosting such a compassionate and awareness filled contest."
The other entries and comments can be viewed at the following link: http://allpoetry.com/Contest/1706219
Here is the winning poem, an all-encompassing, beautiful and haunting piece of writing that describes fully the situation in this country:

"Free Us From the Claws of Cruelty"
by Zayra Yves
Oh visitor, can you help us now?
How goes Zimbabwe?How is the Mother of Africa
when the world is watching -
do they not understand our fate
is interwoven?

What you see in my country is only the beginning of Great Death sweeping the land in famine

after many lifetimes of blood shed
in the name of men, in the name of prophecies
in the name of presidents and money.

Do not be mistaken.
I was not born for the seed of loss
to be planted in my stomach
as a gnawing hunger.

I was not born to watch my family die.
My song was given from the heavens
and nurtured in the circle of earth.

Even if they destroy my totem brotherhood of man
and I cannot find them or hear their voices,
even if my family is dead...

I know their song.I will sing it.
I will enfold their soul in my arms,
so they will not forget the truth of who we are.

Look into my eyes.

You will find more than sorrow or emptiness.
You will find mercy and the great Zambezi
as it flows from the origin of mankind
from the cradle of civilisation...

as it rises in my bones
from the roots of legends, Zulu's
and a rain making queen.

Walk with me into heritage of ruins
through gateways built by ancient tribes
and listen as they speak on the dry wind
with incantations.

Oh Great Spirits this is a land of ancestors
where once women ruled as queens and lovers
and the white lion was free.

So, tell me how it is that our own torture us -
take children for slaves, turn blood against blood,
burn farms, deprive of us care
and leave us with nothing except bare skin
for clothes and eyes to picked clean
by humans, by vultures?

I was born to remind you of the depths
to which brutality can drop
just how far one man can measure
another man's life.

I was created from the dust of stars,
from many lives, many spirits living in the waters
of Victoria Falls

(before she was conquered,
before she had that name,
she was "The Roar that Thunders"
by our ancestors).
In my land I serve to warn you
we are the art disappearing
so we carve our faces into serpentine
curve around the feet or raise our hands in praise
because after so many lifetimes
regardless of the pain
all life is sacred.

Except you might not be listening
as our ancestor's die, as the animals collapse,
as men line their pockets with cash.

What happened to balance and tolerance -
to sharing and cohabitation for all?

Will our Mother land go on being filled with
children of rage and brothers that betray brothers?
Do they forget in blindness they were born just as I
for justice and life?I am the soul that inhabits
all souls.I emerge from the roots of Africa.

Do you hear me?I am not meant for this humiliation.
For the heap of stones and trash my countrymen
have created now of home.I smell the embers
year after year.I am told the world is watching,
they are coming to help.

When are they arriving?

This is not an expedition or a mission.
I am a child, a woman.
I am the dying and the living.
I have a voice.

I am made of flesh like your flesh.
I too was created from a universe of love,
born in goodwill, in the name of peace
and I deserve to speak -
I deserve to eat.

My Perfect World by Mary Elizabeth Blessing

Early in the morning
before anyone rises
My mind pushes my body from
the warmth of my bed
To wander

Together we go back
hand in hand
To ponder the thought that ignited the feeling
More than once I analyse
Was it love?
Is it still?
Another time, another place
I held your hand and kissed your lips
So short, the amount of time we stole
The sun rises to catch my eye
Warming my face
Bringing me back to the man
That holds my hand, rubs my back
and fathered my children
Love and wanderlust
Past and present
Clashing and falling together to form
My perfect world
