It would be interesting to know whether or not ZESA has yet made plans to supply the anticipated power increase resulting from the recent frenzied purchase of virtually every electrical appliance / gadget in the country ....
NEW POEM FOR ZIMBABWE
I have so much more money in my bank
For all of this, I have you to thank!
I'm saving money at a rate of knots
By the time I'm 40, I'll really have lots!
I can't spend it on fags, fine food and fair'
Cos when I go to TM, the shelves are all bare!
Other shops are quite empty of tempting treats
Who needs dairy products, cokes or sweets?
Standing all day in the queue for maize meal
Mean's I don't have to work - wow, what a deal!
I see all my mates there from days gone by
We catch up on news and make plans for a braai!
I can't find any marg or oil in the shop
My bathroom scales are starting to drop!
When I put on my jeans, they fall to the floor'
Cos no sugar or flour, means no baking no more!
Now bread, it seems, is a thing of the past
But I'm not worried, 'cos I'm loosing weight fast!
There's no need to lose weight by going to a gym
Just live in Zimbabwe and you'll get real thin!
I walk everywhere; there's no fuel in my car
I'm really quite fit now, from walking so far!
I spend more time at home than ever before
This is a good thing 'cos there's always a chore!
I take time for all the positive things in life
Like my family, reading and staying out of strife!
I'm coping quite well; so it just goes to show
That living with shortages is not such a blow!
Anonymous, Mutare, Zimbabwe
2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH
Many people are asking what has happened to the proposed pipeline from Mtshabezi Dam ?
A Bulawayo M.P. raised the Bulawayo water issue in Parliament a few weeks ago and was told that a tender process had commenced. A few days later the Chronicle featured an article that the tender had been granted to a Chinese company and they had a photograph of the contractor standing in a field!

CAN ANYONE HELP ?
We we're in Zim from November 1981 to 1983 and, though I didn't realise it at the time, it made such huge impression on me that the memories of it won't leave me. My children are all grown up now and I have Grandchildren, (I know, people do say it's hard to believe one so young could have Grandchildren! ! joke) and my daughter said I must write down all my stories of Bulawayo. So, whilst my memory is still intact and I can still hold a pen, that's just what I'm doing. Which is where the help of your many readers comes in. I'm struggling to remember prices i.e. the cost of living in Zim during those years. I remember my husbands wages at Farmec (are they still there, by the way, I can't seen to locate them) was ZD800 and our rent was ZD240, but it's the little things, like bread, meat, a crate of beer, an ice cream at Esxies, a tin of Cobra polish, a box of Bingo washing powder. STOP ME!! Do you see what I mean? I've searched the Internet, but, of course, when you key in .Cost of living in Zimbabwe you get page after page of the current, tragic situation. So, please help if you can. And when my book sells and I'm as rich as JK Rowling, I'll come back to Zim and buy you all a drink. With very kind regards
