BASS BULAWAYO
The 25th Bass Tournament
Sponsored by CRAWFORD CLARK CATTLE COMPANY
Will be taking place on the 26th and 27th July at Shishani Dam, the Teams have been waiting for this tournament for weeks now and the excitement is growing. We have limited the amount of teams to 35 as the Dam will be under to much pressure if more teams enter. The Fishing will be hard as winter has set in, the cold front that has covered Matabeleland has put the Bass into slow mode, with the water temp between 66 and 69 degrees things will be hard, BUT if it starts to warm up in the next week and the water temp goes up in to the 70's then hold on to your madison, this could put the Bass into a pree spawn as they will be as confused as the 35 teams, but it will be fun.
Spectators are all welcome on Sunday for the final weigh inn at 11;00 am. if you can afford the fuel, find some beer and lay your hands on some beef come and enjoy the fun and prize giving.
I would like to invite all the sponsors to witness this 25th Anniversary Bass Tournament, which most of the sponsors and fisherman have faithfully Supported this event for the past 25 years, every team will be winning prizes, this is our way of saying thankyou for fishing the Bass Bulawayo Winter Tournament. A full list of sponsors will be sent out to the morning mirror and a team list, I'm hoping that a special addition will be sent out for this occasion.
We will be donating fish to Edith duly and to Queen marry house after the tournament, Competitors Note that the Dam will be closed to you from Sunday 20th July. If anybody wants to know more about the Tournament my Email add is mattyres@yoafrica. com

3) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES
FROM : Reader's Digest ( July 1989 )

I awoke one morning to discover that the power had been off for several hours during the night . As I was re - setting a clock , a neighbour whose house bulged with digital appliances , 'phoned . " Were we without electricity ? " she asked . " Yes , for about three hours , " I replied . " I had so many things planned for today , " she moaned . " Now , I'll have to spend the whole morning re - programming my kitchen ! " ( Carol Beckowitz )

RASBERRIES, NOT ROSES!

PEOPLE BEWARE OF A FAST TALKING COLOURED GENT WHO SEEMS TO BE OPERATING IN THE SUBURBS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS HELPING NEIGHBOURS OUT. HE 'BORROWED MY WELL USED WHEELBARROW THIS AFTERNOON, COMPLETE WITH SPADE, TO 'SHOVEL MANURE' . HE EVIDENTALLY FOUND OUT WHO WAS LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ME, THEN USED THAT PERSON'S SURNAME, AND SAID THAT THEIR DAUGHTER WHO LIVES NEARBY NEEDED THE USE OF A WHEELBARROW, AND HER PARENTS NEXT DOOR, WEREN'T IN, SO HE WANTED TO BORROW MINE INSTEAD. IT'S THE OLD AGE THING, THAT IF YOU SMELL A RAT, THEN DON'T DO IT! I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER THINGS HE'S 'BORROWED', THEN SOLD THEM SAYING THAT IT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN BUYING A BRAND NEW ONE. WHICH I HAVE TO DO NOW!!!!

ALSO, NOW, THIS is IMPORTANT! I HAVE JUST RECEIVED MY SHARE OF MY MOM'S ESTATE, BEING ONE HOUSE IN MALINDELA, 2 CARS, A HOUSEFUL OF FURNITURE. THE HOUSE WAS SOLD IN NOVEMBER, AND BECAUSE THE EXECUTOR WOULD NOT INVEST THE MONIES IN SOMETHING PROFITABLE, AND SOLD THE HOUSE WITHOUT THE TITLE DEEDS, SO HAD TO APPLY FOR NEW ONES ETC ETC.,
MY SISTER AND I WERE PAID OUT THIS WEEK, TO THE LOVELY SUM OF $51 MILLION WHOLE DOLLARS! I CAN BUY JUST ONE PACKET OF MILK FOR THAT! HE WOULD NOT ADVANCE US THE MONIES, SAYING THAT HE WOULD ONLY GIVE US OUR PORTIONS WHEN THE HIGH COURT SIGNED OFF.

PEOPLE, BEWARE! DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. SELL THE HOUSE YOURSELF SO THAT YOU HAVE THE MONIES IMMEDIATELY, INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE ESTATE TO BE WOUND UP, AND DON'T LET YOURSELF BE DIDDLED OUT OF SOMETHING THAT SHOULD COME TO YOU.
THINGS LIKE THIS COULD RUIN YOUR SOUL!!!!!
Signed: Carol.

I have to hilight some events that seem to be catching us Zimbo's unawares and it's almost a dog-eat-dog scenario out there. My wife and I decided we would have a dinner at a very well known restaurant in Bulawayo.

We made all the preliminary phone calls to make sure what the menu was and of course how much this would cost. One hour later however, we were informed that the Zim$ amount had doubled and the foreign currency amount for a meal would be around 40US$ each! We had only brought enough money for the original Z$ quote so it turned into a more than embarrassing situation when presented with the bill which included US$7.50 soft drinks!! 4 meals plus one drink each cost over 5trillion!! C'mon fellow Zimbo's, we are not here to get constantly ripped off and this was unfortunately one fine example of such a situation. If the owner(s) could possibly return mail to me and or MM to explain this fantastic amount, which included ice cold mackerel starters, I would be very interested in hearing from them. This certainly has discouraged us from ever returning to this establishment. We should have known better however when on arrival we were the only customers on a Saturday night!

Beware out there, it has become a minefield of desperados willing to rip their own countrymen off!!
Regards, Joe & Shings.

Good Day Morning Mirror.

It Will be cold, but what the heck. I will let all the competitors know what's happening with the braai packs and the bar in good time, I'm just waiting for confirmation. I have spoken to Steave Sparrow/Smith of Shishani camp and he has agreed that some live fish may be retained by the club, to donate to the 2 old aged homes, Thanks Steave. Attached is the updated competitors list, try and remember your team number if you can. Teams to watch out for in the list, Team number 1, these guys are ready to take the cake again this year, 'Q': can they fish? A; yes. Q: have they pree fished? 'A'. NO. "Q"Can they win again?

The scales talk in this Tournament, Team Number 12 "Smirnoff " saw the withdrawal of team leader Gavin Fraser and replaced by Dave Wright, well theirs a thing. Team 31 Dave and Fran Blignaut, good male/Female team, Dave has fished in SA on more then one action and has all sorts of plans up his sleeve, OH don't forget team Number 3. the love birds, my my my watch out.

NOTICE FROM SPCA
Rather belatedly I would to thank the Bulawayo public for their wonderful support at our Scruffs show held on 1st June at the Horse Show Arena at the Trade Fair Grounds by kind permission of the Bulawayo Horse Society. We raised enough money to purchase 175 litres of fuel which was a great help. Also many thanks to: Nicky Brown and Hugh Squaire for manning the bar; our judges Aileen Johnstone, Nicky Wilson, and Brian Lezaar; our announcer Rhona Hayes; music controller Robbie Lowe; our committee John & Gail Hayward, Claire Einhorn, Laura Knight,Jane Gardner, Dee Bloor,M Banda, Tony Tucker, W. Lacey and of course a very big thank you to Berry Oosthuizen without whom Scruffs would not take place. We also would like to thank Fun Factory for giving us a big donation from their Jumping Castle and Bucking Bronco takings.

In addition to the above I would like thank the following donors: Hugo's and Agrifoods for their dog meal; Jamie McMillan of Alexander Forbes for insuring our vehicles ; Heleen Tink ; Paul Kirsten of ManSed for his kindness; The Coffee Shop for drugs; and Heads & Hooves, Ostrindo, and Poultry Shop for meat when they have it.

We have one vehicle off the road, a Mazda 2200 Diesel, that needs a new engine. If any kind sole has a damaged truck and would like to donate or sell to us at a cheap rate that engine, we would be most grateful, as a new engine is well beyond our finances.

HOLLAND & REDFERN AUCTIONS

UPDATE - We all know that the Zim $ is pretty well worthless and getting worse in a daily basis (?is stating the obvious treasonable? ) but Sellers should be aware of the following tale:-

"Our most recent weekly Wednesday sale was both well stocked & well attended. Included in the 1000 plus lots on offer was an old, torn and raggedy lounge suite, circa 1970's, covered in green vinyl and really not very nice at all. In Europe you would have to pay somebody to take it away, and in South Africa you'd be lucky to get a couple of hundred rand. We sold it for the equivalent of R2300.00, in Zim $, but the equivalent, as I say of R2300.00, and that based on the street rate, mind, not the bank rate.

Please bear this little tale in mind when wondering whether or not to sell your goods by auction. You really can make good, substantial sums through selling through Holland & Redfern Auctions. Phone 886013/4 to arrange for collection of your goods, or for a free estimate of value.
Or deliver to 4 Deptford Street, Belmont (off Fife Street Extension)
P.S. If your are in a hurry, we will buy your goods at a fair price, and leave them with you for an agreed time. But please don't expect R2300 equivalent for something which elsewhere you would have to give away. Those prices are achieved at auction - Holland & Redfern Auctions!!!!

CAN ANYONE HELP??

I am downsizing and moving to Garden Park early in August. I would like to retain the services of my 2 domestic workers who have both worked for me for 32 years but cannot do so unless I find them accommodation in the near vicinity . Both are extremely reliable and honest . If there is anyone who is in a position to offer one or two rooms this would be much appreciated.

To rent; Africa Sun Backpackers
- the well known backpacker hangout is up for lease - an ideal, affordable option for overlanding or tour operators, or for an NGO's base. After eight years of successful operation Africa Sun Backpackers was forced to wind down it's operations in 2002 due to the deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe. We are looking for responsible tenants who can make use of the many facilities at Africa Sun while maintaining and caring for the property.

Africa Sun was built and equipped as a backpackers lodge, however we are eager for it's utilization in any practical form. The most ideal application that comes to mind is an overlanding company's base in Bulawayo. The ample bed-space, truck facilities and backpacker orientated facilities make it the perfect alternative to the municipal campsite. In it's heyday, Africa Sun would accommodate a total of 50 guests between two dorm rooms and five double private rooms.

The Main House - all upstairs, it consists of three bedrooms and one bathroom, a large lounge with balcony overlooking the garden, a dining room and kitchen. Underneath is a dorm room with 14 bunk-beds and a flatlet/private cottage with large bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom.

There are several outbuildings around the main house. One block contains two double private rooms with kitchen, shower and toilet. Another has two double private rooms adjoining three showers and two toilets which can be shared by the dorm. Finally there is the large cottage which has a kitchenette, bathroom and two big rooms. This was originally used as a dorm and bunk-beds are available to furnish. The entertainment area is arranged around the swimming pool. There is a large bar/dance area joining a TV lounge. The office/storeroom adjoins. The breakfast/braai area has an open kitchen ands restrooms are close at hand
A borehole provides relief from water cuts.There are three carports, two double ports with a pit and one triple port. A reasonable rental will be given to suitable tenants. For enquiries Tel 011408544 or email ff@zol.co.zw.

I AM LOOKING FOR ANY PERSON WHO KNOWS THE WHEREABOUTS OF A PRUE BARNES, WHO USED TO LIVE IN BULAWAYO. AS I HAVE INFORMATIONTHAT COULD BE BENEFICIAL. MY E MAIL ADDRESS IS towmac@gatorzw. co.zw

Hi Mags how are you, I have been looking to find a friend of mine who I have not heard of for about 33 years his name is Peter Nyman he worked in the Railways as a fireman and he lived in Bulawayo. We went to the same school when we were young (Milton High) I was his best man when he got married and the last time I heard he went north to work as a train driver on one of the mines, he may have gone to Binga or Hwange. I am not sure if he is still alive today, I have tried a few web sites with no luck. My name is John Vassili or better known as Vass in Bulawayo.When Peter lived in Bulawayo he was living with his mother and younger sister in the Suburbs.
He had a step brother who passed away in a motorbike accident by the name Kevin Lloyd. He also had a older step sister I do not remember her name that moved to Canada in the late sixties. His younger sister name is Jenny Nyman.

If anyone in Bulawayo has any information about Peter Nyman please sent me an email at johncertii@gmail. com and I will be most grateful and thankful. Vass.
