BULAWAYO MUSIC FESTIVAL

JUNE 14 TO JUNE 18 2006

A reminder that booking for individual concerts at the festival is now open at Meikles. There is no advance booking for the Cathedral Concert on Saturday morning where seating is unreserved (season ticket holders please note) and a limited number of seats will be available at the door. Season tickets are still available at the Academy and the price remains $4 000 000 until the end of the month since the exchange rate hasn't moved much even if local prices have !! May we also take the opportunity to confirm that both the Eskimo Hut and Trade Fair Car Park 3 will be available for parking throughout the festival. The entrance to Car Park 3 is next to the Academy gate - just before it if you're approaching from Parirenyatwa Street, just after it if you're coming from the Hillside Road. There will be security guards in both that car park and at Eskimo Hut as well as on the Academy gates.
And you might like to know that emergency lighting has already been installed in the Sibson Hall and a generator will be on hand so, even if there are power cuts, no concert will have to be postponed. Indeed, with the emergency lighting we hope that there will not even be an interruption should there be a cut mid-performance. Best wishes,
Michael Bullivant

WILDLIFE AND ENVIRONMENT ZIMBABWE

Together with Friends of Hwange Trust and Parks and Wildlife Management Authority

Further to our first communication, we should like to give a brief update on the work being undertaken at various pans in Hwange National Park.

In consultation with various stake holders, it was decided that the pans which would have priority to begin with would be Tshebe Tshebe, Sinanga, Shumba, Kennedy One and Two, Jambili, Inyantue, Mabuya Mabena, Tshompani, and Makwa. Mario Gomes and his team have been working steadily away and on a recent trip to Hwange, it was heartening to see some of the engines already up and running. At least one of these pans had not been pumped for a couple of years so it was particularly gratifying to see water, once again, flowing into the pan. Some of the pump attendants are also doing good work, tidying up their pump stations and taking some pride in the surrounds. So far, Tshebe Tshebe, Kennedy One and Two, Sinanga, Makwa and Jambili are up and running. The team has also got the old windmill at Kennedy One linked up and working which was another of the projects we were hoping would be done. Shumba and Tshompani will not be pumped until the end of the month as there is plenty of surface water still available in the area, but pumping will soon begin at Inyantue and Mabuya Mabena. Permission is being sought to do some work on the various picnic sites, repairing thatch destroyed by baboons, rigging up better fencing and gates, etc., and we await this permission from Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. Thanks to Warden Gotosa and the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority for their support and co-operation thus far.

HATCHINGS

by John Eppel

Saturday June 17 at 2.00pm Zimbabwe Academy of Music It is New Year in Bulawayo, and anybody who is anybody is out celebrating. Hatchings was chosen by Professor Anthony Chennells in the Times Literary Supplement as his choice of the most significant book to have come out of Africa. "Beneath the scurrility, this is a profoundly romantic novel. It tells of a touching love story between a young white couple who are saved from the prevailing Philistinism and corruption by two things - a love of English literature and a love of the Matopos." Terence Ranger in The Zimbabwean Review "The book is about exploitation, meanness; and it's about loveliness." Southern African Review of Books

BEITBRIDGE BORDER POST

Bogus customs and clearing agents and their touts have been arrested 'by the score" in a police swoop at the Beitbridge border post, according to locally based police chief Andrew Dzaramba. "We are clearing up the situation at the border and will continue to weed out these criminal elements" he says. the clamp down was launched after numerous complaints had been received from truck drivers and owners. Touts initially approached drivers held up in lengthy queues and offered to get a customs officer to come to them on payment of a fee, to help them jump the queue. In this manner, drivers were told, they would get border clearance much faster.
but after paying up and having their cargo "inspected" drivers found the clearance papers given to them to be false when attempting to pass through official posts. No trace of the offenders could then be found.
Now, says Supt Dzaramba, almost all employees working at the border wear uniforms to distinguish them from any loiterers. This has resulted in less congestion which had become common place with trucks and private travellers able to pass through much faster.

CRICKET NEWS

wonder how many folk in Zimbabwe, ever wonder what has happened to the handful of ex Zimbabwean cricketers now playing in England.? I am the " Visitors " dressing room attendant at Surrey County Cricket Club, I used to run the Zimbabwe National Teams dressing room for 6 years..
Over the last 3 weeks, i have seen Ray Price, Andy Flower, and Sean Ervine, and have got up dates on the players who i have not seen yet. Ray is playing for Worcestershire County Cricket Club, and is having a good season, he and his wife have recently had a daughter. Andy Flower is still playing for Essex, and doing very well with the bat, he scored a ton (100) in Essex's second innings against Surrey over the week end, at Witgift School in Croyden South. Grant Flower, (Gobz), plays most of his games for the Essex One Day squad, and plays the four day game for Essex seconds.., like Andy, he also scored a ton over the week end, I have an idea, they were playing Middlesex.
Heath Streak is playing for Warwickshire, he was appointed as captain this season, and is doing exceptionally well, he is unfortunately injured so i believe.? Sean Ervine plays for Hampshire, he batted well against Surrey in a One Day on Sunday, the Surrey bowlers chased leather as he smashed them around the wicket to get into his 40's. Travis Friend was playing for Derbyshire earlier in the season, he is struggling with his form at the moment, and is playing club cricket.., he is a good seam bowler, and i am sure it will not be too long before Travis is back in the Derbyshire side. I will up date you in a few weeks time as to each player again, Darryl Leith

Hick reaches rare milestone

Graeme Hick has joined Sir Jack Hobbs and Graham Gooch in becoming only the third player in history to score 60,000 runs in all forms of cricket.

The Worcestershire and former England batsman reached that milestone during the Liverpool Victoria County Championship game with Gloucestershire at Bristol.

Hick, who celebrated his 40th birthday last month, amassed 38,591 first-class, 20,972 one-day and 437 Twenty20 Cup runs to achieve the landmark. Zimbabwe-born Hick needs two more centuries to become only the eighth player to score 100 first-class tons for one county. The most recent player to achieve that was Geoff Boycott, who hit 103 centuries for Yorkshire.

UPCOMING BOOK RELEASE!

A Year Less Ordinary In the company of Zimbabwe's Grey Giants by Sharon Pincott

By early 2006 Sharon Pincott had spent five years living in the Zimbabwean bush amongst elephants. In this, her second book, Sharon shares her heart-rending story of the year 2005 - including the battle for her elephant friends.

It is a one-year (250-page) journey, hand in hand with her animal friends, through the changing seasons. Readers will experience the dramatic changes which each month brings to the Hwange veld - the animals, the birds, the trees and the wildflowers. In addition, it is a story of self- discovery and reflection, full of happy, sad and trying times; of joy, despair - and of hope. It is a journey with elephants; a haunting journey of endurance. Complete with 40 pages of photographs (133 superb images, including 77 of them in colour), this book is a must for wildlife and bush lovers alike. (Only 400 copies will be available for sale within Zimbabwe, from early July. In an attempt to keep the book more affordable, as many copies as possible will be sold direct, avoiding reseller mark-ups (and ensuring maximum $s go towards assisting ongoing wildlife conservation efforts). Release price will be approximately the parallel equivalent of US$13.00. To place orders, Sharon can be contacted on spincott@mweb.co.zw. Enquiries/orders can also be placed via Carmen Deysel at the Camera Centre outlet (Jason Moyo Ave; phone: 61731), and via WEZ committee member Colin Gillies (phone Lithocraft secretary Precious on 61133) - with payment taken on delivery.

I was wondering if you ever found out what happened to Aiden Diggeden? My grandmother told me that he was adopted into our family, but we never met. Because we have the same last name a lot of ex Zimbos ask about our relationship and do I know where he is now. I was born in South Africa in 1959 and am now an Australian Citizen (been in Aus for five years).
We had cousins/2nd Cousins in Salisbury that we only ever visited once when I was a child. Family name was Reilly. One of them was Ivan. That's about as much as I know about our Zimbabwean History but would sure like to know where Aiden ended up.
Regards Rob Diggeden. (Cecil Robert Diggeden) My dad called me Cecil after Rhodes!, but have always been called Robert. From: rdiggede@bigpond.net.au

I am trying to get in touch with the Public Service Pensioners Association and would be most grateful if someone could provide me with an address, telephone number or even e-mail address of their current Secretary or Chairperson, as I was unable to attend their meetings over the past few years and would really need to get in touch with them concerning a few pension troubles they have so kindly been able to advise me on before.
Many thanks,
Pauline Greeff. Tel. 09-244442 (evenings) or jewels@netconnect.co.zw
