3) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES

Is there anyone out there that could possibly explain to me how to pay my Zesa accounts.

Zesa do not post out accounts. Still haven't found out why. So they come up with an amazing solution.... .email. Great, thinks I, and send off all the account numbers (between home and business we have 6 accounts), as instructed. And then I wait.....and wait....and wait.

Eventually, a great many months later a Zesa account arrives via email, explaining they had "technical problems". Okay, I can understand this, we not exactly using 1st world systems here. But since then I have had maybe half a dozen emailed bills....and usually incorrect. And only some of the accounts...and the tale goes on.
So it's back to trying to phone (well it never really stopped).... .which in itself is a test of patience that would have surely got to even Job! There are only 2 numbers one can use (if anyone knows any secret numbers, please reveal all) and they are constantly engaged. I think you can all picture the scenario and lived it also.
Now this weeks saga has added to my woeful tales. The phones seem to be less often engaged..... now they don't get answered at all.......much like the Zesa faults phone lines, when you're trying to find out why you have no power on a night you're supposed to have power.
Finally, the phone gets answered, you ask for accounts queries...to be told "we are off line, try this afternoon" But they have been offline all week, morning and afternoon, since Monday. Why tell me to check this afternoon?
Please could someone tell me how to pay my accounts. And you can't work on a "gestimate" because all their charges have gone up!!!! So lasts months bill figure will probably have you grossly underpaying. And seeing as I work the same hours as Zesa does, I cannot go and stand in their tiny, packed to the brim offices for 100s of hours to get the balances due. Don't they want me to pay?
And while I'm mentioning Zesa....could the powers that be, besides answer the above query, also look into publishing how the load shedding schedules work now, because they seem to have all changed recently and this tired old brain is finding it very hard to cope with working out when I'm due a power outage. And at the same time explain when "peak hours" cuts are......I've never worked that one out.
Help!

I was give your contact details wrt finding out information about my birth mother.

I was born at Mater-Dei hospital on 3 January 1963 to Barbara Joan Bowne who lived in Browning Street, Bulawayo.

The SA welfare organisation was unable to assist me in tracing her and I wondered if you would be able to.

I have tried various internet search etc, but have come up with nothing. I think the only way of getting any information is to try and find someone in the are who may remember the name and / or address and who lived there.
