2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH
Compared with Harare, Bulawayo rain is more imperative for different reasons and is
actually about 65% of Harare's annual precipitation.
In the second week of December one of our dams went from 2% to 60% and, just before
Christmas, we had received nearly 60% of our annual rainfall (14 inchces/350mm) and we
had received reservoir in-flows of three times of the whole of the previous year (25
inches/ 625mm). Rivers were flowing, green grass flourished and everything was soggy. If
the rain had stopped then, we would have experienced one of our driest years since
records began in 1897. This goes to show that it is not the amount of rain that necessarily
fills our dams, but how rain falls.
Last December was the 7th wettest since the century before last and was the wettest in 30
years. If the rain continues at this rate, we will receive a projected total of over 50 inches,
208% of normal.
What this story tells us is that our patience and resolve has been tested to the limit and it
also shows us that we must never give up and always have hope and faith. From a position
of absolute despair, and in a relatively short time, we have triumphed in terms of the
availability of water for this thirsty city and its people, defying the pessimists.

"I am sure many of us in Bulawayo have had our power supply negatively affected recently
by the recent heavy rains, and more particularly the accompanying storms, which have
caused many faults on the lines. (Please do not misunderstand - I am not complaining
about the wonderful rains!). Those of us resident in Fortunes Gate / Matsheumhlope area
have been affected very badly, with loss of power for a couple of weeks over the
Christmas period and various other significant faults developing since late November. In
all, we have not had a single uninterrupted day of power since 26 November. I am sure we
were not the only ones, however. In my dealings with ZEDC, I learned a few things which I
thought I should pass on.
We are all aware that ZESA / ZEDC are extremely short of resources. We residents of
Bulawayo should not underestimate this problem. At any one time, Bulawayo east has no
more than 7 electricians available, of which maybe two or three are on duty at any one
time. There are no more than two, at best three, old, dilapidated vans servicing the entire
Bulawayo east area. There are very few major spares available. ZEDC is regularly out of
fuel, and many of us, I am sure, have had the privilege of delivering our 5 litres of petrol to
the Lobengula Street depot. Importantly, those few people available to do an incredibly
demanding job are severely overworked. They are working long shifts (up to 14 hours)
under very stressful conditions. Anyone who has tried to phone the control centre or faults
lines will confirm the very high demand for faults rectification services.
We are also all fully aware that our country's generation capacity is limited (I understand
that Kariba is now temporarily down, the cause for the current bout of severe load
shedding), as are our imports. Therefore, the last thing we all need is outages caused by
faults. One of the major causes of faults over the past few weeks has been trees or
branches of trees falling on wet power lines, causing shorts, and worse still, line
breakages. In many instances these trees are inside peoples' yards, and under the
residents' direct responsibility. I understand that there was a time when ZESA / ZEDC were
responsible for trimming those trees and clearing the lines of all branches. Given the
stretched resources of ZEDC, I am sure we all appreciate that this is not going to happen
and probably never will again. ZEDC has eight petrol driven chain saws at Lobengula
Street, all of which are broken and out service. There are no resources to have them
repaired (Any volunteers?) . I recently watched a repair team chop down a fairly large gum
tree impeding a power line with nothing more than one panga, and offered a small saw
which only helped a little. We can all complain about misdirected resources, corruption,
poor infrastructure etc., none of which will help. I am convinced, based on my
(considerable) experience in dealing with ZEDC over the past two months, that there are
many individuals within that organisation who are honest, hard working and committed to
delivering a decent service. Unfortunately, they are unable to do so for lack of resources
available to them.
Therefore, three things. Can we give the ZEDC staff that are "on the ground" our support
wherever possible? Complaining, without action, even if the complaint is valid, will not
help. Do something to help get your power supply restored - offer transport / fuel
willingly. Secondly, and more importantly, if you have trees, branches etc. in your area
which have the potential to damage the line or cause a problem, sort them out. Get your
neighbours involved and remove defaulting trees etc. Even if they are not your direct
responsibility, you will get involved unwillingly when those trees cause a fault on your line
or circuit. On more than one occasion, ZEDC officials have asked me to speak to my
neighbours and neighbourhood about trees, as they are the major cause of many
problems. Thirdly, please report anything you see that may cause a problem. Do not
assume that if you lose power it is caused by load shedding, especially if it is raining and /
or windy. At the moment, loss of power may well be caused by a fault. If you are unable to
get through to the faults / control centre lines, go to Halco House (office entrance) and
they will help you to contact faults directly. For those who are unaware, the faults / control
centre numbers are 290890/1/2 or 011 615 128. It is difficult to get through, but please
persevere.
The main purpose of this newsletter is to bring you more details of the first concert of
2008. However, there are quite a few events coming up in the next two weeks, three of
them this week so perhaps I should begin with a diary!
Wednesday 16 January at 1.10 Mahler, A Personal Introduction: Michael Bullivant
Friday 18 January at 5.30 Harmony for Humanity 1 - at the National Gallery
Saturday 19 January at 2.00 Harmony for Humanity 2 - at Mpopoma High School
And then:
Wednesday 23 January at 5.30 DVD: Mahler: Symphony No.1 + Mahler in Rehearsal
Wednesday 30 January at 1.10 Piano Nonsense: Peter Rollason
Thursday 31 January at 7.30 Cristina Granero (flute) & Yuki Matsushima (piano)
Taking the last first, this concert has been arranged in association with the Spanish
Embassy and details are as follows:
CRISTINA GRANERO (FLUTE) & YUKI MATSUSHIMA (PIANO)
Robert Sibson Hall
7.30 p.m. on Thursday 31 January
Booking opens at the Academy on Wednesday 16 January
Tickets: $2 000 000.00 - but free to subscribers
Cristina Granero was born in Jodar (Spain) and is a graduate of the Conservatory in
Granada. She then went to London where she studied at the Trinity College of Music with
Wissam Boustany (who will be well remembered here) and at the Royal College of Music
with Paul Edmund-Davies. Currently she is studying at the Musik Hochschule in Cologne
with Professor Robert Winn. From 1998 to 2001 she was a member of the Youth Orchestra
of Andalusia and she has worked with several Spanish orchestras. In 2001 she received
the Honours Diploma in the International Music Competition of Zaragoza, in 2003 she won
the second prize in the soloist category in the Arjau competition in Barcelona and in 2005
she obtained first prize at the Juventudes Musicales Competition.
Yuki Matsushima was born in Mie, Japan. She studied at the Mitsue Nozue School of Music
and subsequently at the Mushahino School of Music under Noriko Rwanda in Tokyo before
going on to take a post-graduate course at the Trinity College of Music with Penelope
Roskell. She is currently studying in London with the pianist Yonty Solomon - whom some
of you might remember playing for us more than twenty years ago!
We don't have full programme details yet but it will include the Fantasy on Themes from
Carmen by Francois Borne as well as works by Ian Clarke, Krzysztof Zgraja, Salvador
Brotons and Andre Jolivet. None of these are exactly household names but I hope this
won't prevent your coming to what I'm sure will be a splendid start to our year. We have
been trying to persuade the Spanish Embassy to bring their musicians to Bulawayo as well
as Harare for some time and hope that this opportunity to work with them in organising a
major recital will be the first of many. A good audience will be an encouragement to them
to send more musicians to Bulawayo in the future, so do try to support us!
A note for subscribers: since booking for all concerts is now at the Academy, we've
decided to do away with membership cards this year - they're probably a nuisance to you,
quite a few always seem to get lost and we think they're no longer really necessary. There
will be an up-to-date list of members with the booking plan and your name will simply be
ticked off when you book. I hope this will run smoothly - and I should be close at hand if
it doesn't!
Although this will be our first Sibson Hall concert, there are two prior to that, as already
announced, but perhaps a reminder is in order:
HARMONY FOR HUMANITY
In conjunction with the U.S.Embassy and in memory of Daniel Pearl, the Academy is
presenting two hour-long concerts compered by Albert Nyathi and featuring students and
other local performers. The first is on Friday 18 January at the National Gallery at 5.30
p.m. and the second Saturday 19 January at Mpopoma High School at 2.00 p.m. The
recently arrived American Ambassador should be present at both concerts. There is no
admission charge but donations will be welcome!
The performers will include Susan Moyo (guitar and voice), Brian Hartman (guitar),
Nathaniel Ngwenya (guitar), Savannah Plaskitt (violin), Christopher Mkhize (recorder),
Lauren Meikle (flute), Shirley Jerrard (oboe), Rosemary Green (piano), Jill Wild (piano), the
ZAM Marimba Band, the Pasichigare Mbira Ensemble, Mkande Mbakumba Drum and Dance
and the Afro Jazz Guitar Trio.
And another reminder!
ILLUSTRATED LUNCHTIME TALKS AND EARLY EVENING DVDS
There will be a series of illustrated talks and DVDs at the Academy every Wednesday
alternating between lunchtime and early evening. Lunchtime talks will initially be by Peter
Rollason or myself (but, we hope, others in due course) under the general heading of
"Having Fun with Music" and all will include plenty of music as well as talk whilst the early
evening DVDs will feature the whole cycle of Mahler Symphonies during the first and
second terms.
The January sessions begin with an introduction to Mahler this coming Wednesday, 16
January at 1.10. Several people have told me they know little about him or his music and
would like some background so I thought I'd try to fill in some of it and give my own
experience of Mahler to whose music I've been devoted for not far short of fifty years - I
discovered him as a schoolboy in his centenary year of 1960!
The symphonies will all be conducted by Leonard Bernstein, mainly with the Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra. Admission for the whole of the first term (five talks and five
DVDs) will be $3 000 000.00 and single sessions $300 000.00 in January but rising each
month. All proceeds from the talks and DVDs will go to the Hudson Fund. Talks will be in
Room 25, DVDs in the Sibson Hall.
Subscriptions are still welcome at the Academy but the rate is now subject to increase so
hurry if you want to qualify for the $10 000 000 special offer! The subscription will cover
the DVD opera evenings but NOT the lunchtime talks and Mahler symphonies which are an
Academy promotion.
And one last thing! By popular demand, the next DVD opera on 16 February will include a
supper interval so will begin at 6.30 and not 7.30 as previously announced!
Perhaps a diary for February to end:
Wednesday 6 February at 5.30 Mahler: Symphony No.2
Wednesday 13 February at 1.10 Having Fun with Music
Thursday 14 February at 6.00 : Deon Marcus (piano) - a Valentine's Day Concert
Saturday 16 February at 6.30 : Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore
Wednesday 20 February at 5.30 Mahler: Symphony No.3
Tuesday 26 February at 7.30 : Jan Novotny (piano)
Wednesday 27 February at 1.10 Having Fun with Music
Best wishes as always,
Michael Bullivant

Good Samaritan
My sixteen year old daughter inadvertently left her purse, containing her drivers licence
and pocket money, on the roof of the car. It transpired that it fell off 2 kms down a busy
road. Needless to say, we conducted a desperate search and in vain, as darkness
descended. Still hopeful, we were rewarded by a phone call 3 hours later and it came from
Richard Gwebu who works for the Iversens family. Shortly afterwards we drove off to
collect the purse which revealed that nothing had been removed!
Despite the present environment, where we are often faced with the worse aspects of
human nature, it goes to show that the wonderful people in this country remain exactly
that!
Be proud!

In reply to Jean Clarke,s warning
Will all Zimbabweans please note that this is true and extremely
Dangerous as It happened to me and my family this past weekend 09.01.08
As we were leaving the East Rand Mall on to the Highway to Eastgate.
They were driving a white Toyota Cressida and they flashed me to pull off
The road. Which I did but something said this is not quite right
On of the guys jumped out of the passenger seat and appeared to be talking
On a radio attached to his jacket lapel.
The guy who jumped out was dressed in some type of uniform. I made sure the
car was locked and only rolled down the window and inch or two. He asked me
to exit and I refused asking to see his badge. That's when I noticed it said
"Tourist Police: I asked what a tourist police was and what he wanted.
He said he was searching for drugs. He started to walk around the car and It
was at this point that my wife pointed out that the number plate was
partially covered.
If you look at some of the police official police vehicles they now have a
corruption hot line printed on them. Because of the fifteen road blocks we
were subjected to on our way in we decided to write it down. So when he came
back to the window I told him that I was calling this line to verify his
Existence. He then graciously told me that he could see that we were not
carrying drugs and hastily jumped in the vehicle and drove off. We followed
at a discreet distance whilst We called the hotline where an efficient
officer recorded the information. Unfortunately they took the next off ramp
and there was no way I was going to follow them.
So -please fellow Zimbabweans be careful - Jonathan Williams

Thanks to two concerned Bulawayo residents, we now have two hedgehogs for
the Tikki Hywood breeding scheme in Harare. There are very few around these
days due to their vulnerability to disease. But now we need girls! Please,
if you do find a hedgehog of either sex (and it's pretty hard to tell the
difference), could you call Grant or Karen Neilson on 0912 402 339 or
09-283478 or work 09-60511; or Richard or Bookey Peek on 011 615 582, or
Lisa Hywood in Harare on 011 217 441 or 0912 256 490.
Thank you so much.

KIGELIA
The development of this product took some 18 months and included the services of a
French Nose who spent several months in Zimbabwe to develop the unique fragrances that
relate to the fragrances of the African Wilderness.
The loofahs used in the soaps, grow wild off the tender clinging vine - the luffa aegyptiaca
- in the lowveld and the Zambezi Valley. They are handpicked by villagers who live in
these remote areas, and are delivered to us from as far as 500kms by various modes of
transport.
The loofahs are then sun dried, peeled, washed, de-seeded and dried again. Hand
selection takes place in selecting the correct size loofah to fit the mould. The soap is
made using high percentages of natural oils which are poured over each loofah. We wait
for the soaps to set and then each is individually removed from the mould and trimmed
and polished by hand. The wrapping and packing process takes place by hand. We believe
that this is what makes our product so unique - you really have a piece of Africa in your
hands.
Enjoy our products they are naturally a part of Africa.
At present the range consists of: -
Loofah Soaps
Glycerin Soaps
Exotic Bath Soaks
Sugar Bath Cubes
Endangered Guest Soaps
Not forgetting our unique Earthchild Eau de Parfum
Which come in six exciting African inspired fragrances
- Zambezi Wild Berry
- Zambezi Rain Forest
- Marula and Jojoba Oil
- Baobab and Tea Tree Oil
- Rose Oil and Apricot -----soon to be replaced by African Love flower.

I would just like to say thank you for this wonderful e-letter that you send out so
regularly. This is my life line to 'home' and I always look eagerly in my mail box for its
arrival!!
It is so good to be able to keep up with what is happening in our beloved country. I have
been in the UK for 8 years now and especially at this time of the year, I miss my home
more than ever. It is always so grey and miserable here and I would give anything for a bit
of 'good old African sun!' I still have quite a few friends in Zimbabwe and most of them
are in Bulawayo.
I am not sure if anyone who receives this letter remembers my mother in-law, Mrs Irene
burgess. She was in Coronation Cottages and then in Queen Mary and finally in Edith
Duly. She passed away in Edith Duly on 19th September this year. She was 93 years old.
My two sons Adam and Marc, are now living in Australia and New Zealand, with all my
precious grand children.
I must say I had a weep when I read you message 'God Bless You at Christmas time'. My
absolute dream would be to be able to return home to Bulawayo with all the family
together again instead of being spread far and wide all over the world. I never cease to be
amazed at how everyone is coping with the hardships that you are all facing. I take my
hat off to you all.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year and we will continue to
pray that 2008 is going to be a good one.
With very best wishes.
Zoe Burgess
TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN BULAWAYO
WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS. YOU WILL BE IN MY THOUGHTS

we urgently require any information as to the whereabouts of a certain Angela Read. Our
records indicate that she was born on 21st September 1978, the names of her parents are
unknown but her grandmother who is now deceased was Madge Cecelia Delfos, born
