A Prophetic call to the church for united action...

Calling all civic leaders, businessmen, pastors and farmers. God has spoken. There is a way for the church to transform the nation NOW! Be part of it...
VENUE: Word of Life Church, Robert Mugabe Rd, Bulawayo
DATE: 15 November 2008
TIME: 9:30am-3pm
ADMISSION: Free

The Programme includes: Worship The Church in Context The Farming God's Way story The Prophetic Call to the Church Communion Call to feed the Nation Practical Training and Equipping Prayer As I survey the state of our nation, I believe that the Lord's particular concern and compassion is directed towards the poor and the hungry who, in a general sense, are the ones suffering the most in these times of crisis. There is a worldwide food shortage, exacerbated by the rush for the production of bio-fuels. There are very few agricultural inputs in the nation, and what fertiliser is available is so expensive that it makes food production unviable. We will have the begging bowl out again, with all its detrimental effects, but the indications are that even then there will be a serious shortfall of staple foods.

The Lord has given us a wonderful way to steward our soil, water and other resources so that we are able to effectively produce food entirely his way. We call it Farming God's Way (FGW) and it is totally rooted in God's word and also constitutes the entrance point of God's way for rebuilding our nation as introduced in Isaiah 58.
We have a dream that if we, the wider body of Christ, humble ourselves together in unity and turn to God wholeheartedly and seek his face, and also go and apply FGW faithfully with the little we have, the Lord will feed the nation, through his church this year. This will create a wonderful platform, from which the church can speak into the nation about God's way of rebuilding the broken walls.
Please make an effort to come and if you can't please enter into all prayer. Please find attached some of the background of what the Lord has been doing in the lead up to this significant time in our nation's history and some guidelines of how to pray and prepare.
With much love

ON TRAFFIC JAM BLUES AND BLOOPERS

Dear Margaret,
Your articles are fabulous and (except for the more serious issues) always so amusing. But your latest adventure would elicit real concern on the serious dilemma of micturition- in-a-traffic- jam, and I know your readers (the ladies, that is) would really feel for you in your agony. Perhaps we should all make a plan and be better prepared for such eventualities and maybe share a few possible solutions.
I was reminded of one rather ingenious contraption that I saw advertised in an American journal. A very neat open-banana- shaped plastic receptacle designed especially for needy ladies in "difficult situations". Unfortunately, I don't have details but perhaps your US- based daughter might be able to help with this. The second rather unique device, that I came across whilst browsing through one of those fascinating "Sky Mall" catalogues that you find in your seat pocket on airplanes, was "the perfect mat-and-tray- restroom" , capable of holding up to two gallons of liquid! Really designed for puppies, made from "antimicrobial porous material - its composition helping to prevent unpleasant odours", I'm sure it could be easily adapted for humans in distress.
Of course there are always the more conventional Adult Pampers, and it's easy enough to slip the odd one or two in the glove compartment for a long journey or traffic jam. Happy future traveling, Margaret!
And Hug(gie)s galore from Dorothy B.

When HeeHoo is not looking, have a small hole drilled in the floor of the vehicle, at your feet, approx 2 cm diameter. If necessary plug this with a shaved-down cork. Cover this handiwork with a mat. Carry in the vehicle a suitable size funnel which can be placed in position when the need arises. Attached to the outlet of the funnel is a piece of tubing, long enough to reach and fit into the hole in the floor. Carry a good supply of wet wipes for use in appropriate places. Remember to replace cork after use - especially in wet weather.
Q.E.D.

Our grateful thanks to Lee and Graham York and their beautiful baby from Bots, for taking in five stranded Zimbos last week. Such kindness from you, we were so touched. Also our grateful thanks to RustyHat from Up North who ferried passengers home safely.

Bless you all.

Dear JAG,

I read with interest the letters and article that appear on the Zimbabwe News sites. I follow the developments there daily, and am fascinated with the rapidity of the decline of the Zim dollar. I thought the following calculation may add a touch of dark humour to things. Apologies in advance for any miscalculations, and hope that there is space to add it to your publications.

The web placed the current value of the Zim dollar at 5 billion to the US (bank rate). Considering that the currency has been revalued twice, you have to add 13 zero's after this. That is a staggering 50 to the power of 21, or 50 sextillion dollars to the US dollar, in "old" currency. The average thickness of a bank note is approximately 0.1 mm thick. The question is then, how high would the stack of notes be to buy one US dollar? If you used 50 dollar notes (the most common of the larger denominations in stable economies), then the stack would be 1 to the power of twenty mm high. Convert that to kilometers, then the stack would be one to the power of 14 km high, or 100 trillion kilometers high!! Considering that the sun is approximately 153 million km from Earth, the stack of 50 dollar bills would reach the sun and back 700 000 times!! Eish!

ZIMBABWE NATIONAL SPCA APPEAL

The Zimbabwe National SPCA (ZNSPCA) remains operational and has recently been instrumental in the rescue of animals in two shocking cases. In each instance, animals had been left to starve. Both cases will result in prosecutions which means that the ZNSPCA will need to care for all these animals in the interim. Yet the situation in Zimbabwe remains dire: the ZNSPCA land lines remain out of order and a bag of dog food costs 4 trillion dollars (400 "new dollars").
An urgent appeal is made for the support of the ZNSPCA through the ZIMHELP scheme, operated by and through the National Council of SPCAs in South Africa.
The first case was a race-horse training facility housing 6 horses. The second was a security company housing over 300 dogs. With the full co-operation of the Zimbabwe Police, the horses were impounded. Sadly two of them, Summer Ford and Dutch Ski, had to be euthanased as they were so diseased that it was not humane to keep them alive. 110 dogs were confiscated from a security company. ZNSPCA Inspectors are camped on site to ensure the welfare of the remaining animals. Of the impounded animals, 18 had to be euthanased immediately to prevent further suffering. Some of the dogs were so weak that they could not stand.
Despite the current dire social and economic situation in Zimbabwe, the public has been generous with donations of hay, shavings, dog and horse food. The upkeep of two of the former racehorses has been sponsored by two caring individuals.
Appreciation is expressed to the SPCA in Harare for providing a kennel block where the animals in the most pitiful condition can be cared for.
These two cases are shocking. Thank goodness there remains an active SPCA movement in Zimbabwe whose staff remain alert to cases of cruelty or neglect and who continue to act in the best interests of animals of all species. This despite the dire overall situation in Zimbabwe: - the number of animals being brought in for euthanasia increasing as an inevitable result of the economy. Few can afford to feed pets as a bag of dog food - if available - costs more than the minimum monthly wage. The cost of any form of veterinary care, including sterilisation is prohibitive, adding to the burden of the SPCA in Zimbabwe.
The ZNSPCA in conjunction with Harare and Bulawayo SPCAs has embarked on a sterilisation programme. It is foolhardy for owners to breed their animals under the current circumstances yet desperate individuals have tried to sell puppies on the roadside. Inspectors impound puppies on a daily basis.
If you can help, please contribute to the ZIMHELP scheme: Name: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF SPCAs Bank: STANDARD BANK Branch: SOUTHDALE Account Type: CURRENT Account No: 201 032 015 Branch Code: 00 64 05 Reference: ZIMHELP

The Hillside Dams Boma

We are pleased to announce that the old tearoom at Hillside Dams will be reopened and fully operational in early November 2008.

We wish to thank you all for bearing with us as we renovate the facilities at the Dams. Hopefully it will be worth waiting for and the Dams will again become of one of the preferred venues in "The City of Kings".

We will be adding several more structures before we are fully complete, but for your convenience we will open for the next few weeks as a tearoom serving only light meals and refreshments.

FESTIVE SEASON ISSUES FOR ANIMALS
Caring animal owners will already be aware of the responsibilities that come with the approach of the festive season. Not least, avoiding the use of fireworks and ensuring that their companion animals are safe indoors in the event of any fireworks activity in the area.

Ensuring that vaccinations are up to date, boarding kennels or house-sitters booked well in advance and a back-up plan in case anything whatsoever goes wrong. Please spare a thought for animals that experience unusual noises, greater activity and many more visitors over the festive season. These can be confusing, even terrifying. Safety of children, visitors and animals is paramount. Tragic instances have occurred because children or visitors have been left alone with animals.

If it means keeping pets in a secure room during festivities, this may be a solution. Make sure that festive treats for humans are kept well out of the reach of animals. Chocolate, for example, contains an ingredient that is poisonous to dogs. Wrappers and wrappings can lodge in animals' throats and cause them to choke. This includes being vigilant with candles, balloons or any other decorations or party props. Keep it tidy and keep it safe!

Festivities are all well and good but it is often best to keep animals out of the fun. Please advise children that dressing pets up in funny hats or costumes can upset the animals, cause discomfort and may lead to fear-biting. We often hear "My children can do anything to the dog" and then we hear "I don't know what came over the dog. It has never bitten before" when we hear of a Christmas costume being put on the dog, a prank gone wrong or a pet that simply had too much.

Treat them with care and respect.

Fireworks on the 29th November at the Trade Fair please be advised and take special care of your animals on this night. Found between Moffat/ Hillside Roads on the 1st November an adorable female tan and white long tailed Jack Russell with a patch over her right eye. She has been at the SPCA for 11 days . Please contact Berry at the SPCA if you know anything about this cute dog.

On a serious note on Sunday morning I picked up a young cross breed of about 5 months who was 'screaming' outside on the Magpie/ Southway intersection in Burnside. Took her to the SPCA and have been contacted as they suspect she has Rabies, I am waiting for confirmation on her results. The Government Vet has been informed but I actually lured her into the car down by Whitestone School!
Please be very careful and check that your own dogs rabies are up to date, advise children to not approach strange dogs etc.
Have been informed strange behaviour especially the screaming she was presenting is one of the first symptoms.

BETTY'S BABIES
Collection for the Rotary Club of Bulawayo South/Morning Mirror Christmas Party for Betty's Babies (under guidance from Betty Chiwambo, we expect 100 children at Good Hope Orphan Care that day) - Saturday 6th December is progressing well and so far we have a tree with lights, balloons, sweets and hopefully a book for each child. This will be the first time in their lives that these children will have experienced a "PARTY" with music, cakes, biscuits and all the things that make up a festive celebration - even Santa will be in attendance!
A number of people have indicated that they would like to contribute, but haven't known what is needed. Well, here's the list! Castor Sugar, flour, eggs, oil and icing sugar for 15 cakes. Flavouring would ring the changes on plain vanilla! (If you would like to bake, that will ease our "to do" list). Sweets, biscuits and juice (cordials) would be most welcome.
May I take this opportunity to thank the wonderful public of Bulawayo who have already joined us in this project - we look forward to giving Betty's Babies "A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER"
Sincerely
The Rotary Club of Bulawayo South email: leila@netconnect. co.zw

During the mid to late 70's, there was a little (interdenominationa l I think) booklet called the Path of Truth. The adult one was daily scriptures and readings, and then there was the children's booklet, with stories of "Billy and Bunty", and a little character called "Mousy". I have searched high and low for an original children's booklet, I vividly remember being read the stories at my aunts home (66 Windermere Road, Hillside). I was hoping maybe you knew of someone who may have kept them for whatever reason, I do believe they were exclusively Rhodesian, and no-one here in SA seems to know anything about them. I need to get hold of a children's booklet.

If memory serves me, they were about 10cm x 10cm, and in black and white. The covers had a boarder of tiny flower creepers, AND THIS DESIGN IS WHAT I NEED TO GET HOLD OF.

I really hope you can help.

Kind regards

11) SEEKING FRIENDS

Do you know Pon Burger, and if so do you have his e mail address?

I bought some knives off him in the early 1980's and I am trying to find out if he is still making knives, and where he might be.

I left Zim in 1983 and have been in the UK since. I hope to hear from you.
Kind regards

It's a rather odd request but I'm looking for anyone who knew of or socialized with Dr Tommy Morrison and his wife Philemona aka Bridget in the late 70's or early 80's in Bulawayo. Tommy Morrison was a Dentist who had a practice in Bulawayo and died in 1988-ish but Bridget stayed on until 2005 and evidently left Zim with nothing but her suitcase. She went to live with her daughter Alison in Portland, Oregon before settling In Ireland. I am trying to find out any info/stories/ who their closest friends were etc. Apparently Tommy was much older than Bridget. Their daughter Alison attended Rosebank Convent in JHB.

I know this sounds odd but there is a big family drama/ secret/conspiracy that I have just stumbled upon in Ireland and I am trying to fit pieces of the puzzle together. In fact it will be a fine Hollywood story by the time I get to the bottom of it!!

Do any of these names ring a bell?

I would be so delighted if you did by chance know of anything! Best wishes
