World Cup 2010 is nearly here. HeeHoo and I are so excited, not because we are mad crazy soccer fans, but because special friends will be coming to South Africa and Zimbabwe who would probably not have come otherwise. We have spent days planning itineraries, trying to use our RCI points, trying (unsuccessfully I might add) to use our SAA Voyager miles, it has been loads of fun. Obtaining actual match tickets was difficult to say the least, we still have not had them confirmed, but it was indeed an exercise in frustration and determination. Fortunately HeeHoo has loads of those two qualities....... And so off we go. We are visiting the Victoria Falls, Binga, Hwange, Pilanesburg Game Reserve, and the Kruger Park and we may, possibly even see a soccer game or two. I have my Vuvuzela, we even took a plethora of Vuvuzelas over to Texas last year for a Vuvuzela practice session !! It was only after the Highland Village Police arrived that we had to stop our Vuvuzela Jazz Session !! The Joburg Highways are looking spectacular. The road works almost completed. The Gautrain looks set to run, the stadia are glorious, and the Ayoba Buzz is tremendous. The 2010 slogan is "Ke Nako. Celebrate Africa's Humanity" and the little 2010 mascot is a dear little lion called Zakumi. Soccer balls are all over the shops, everyone is wearing the Bafana Bafana strip, corporate offices, civil service offices and garages are all wearing official 2010 Friday garb and its all ....... with just 4 months to go till kick off. So "come on over", we do not have lions in our back yards, but we can take you to see lions. We have a bad reputation as far as safety goes, but you have to be street wise in New York and London too you know, we have good food, beautiful sights, friendly people, and plenty of the all important necessary infrastructure. We have great hotels and lodges, excellent communications and transport systems. Come on Over ...... and you will be back for more, I can promise you that. written by Mags ++++++++ 2) NOTICES Attention! Calling all baby groups! Mums and tots! TUMBLETOTS!

They always come home in the most wonderful condition and are always happy when they come home . Secondly raspberries by the ton to ZESA who seem to have no regard for the people in the Hillside area what so ever. Our power cuts are no beyond a joke and the "explanations" or should I say EXCUSES they give you over the phone are hilarious to say the least. I personally think that Hillside is the most unfortunate suburb to live in as we have relentless cuts and with no explanation as to why, we obviously dont have anyone of any importance living in this suburb as those suburbs who do never have power cuts at all. Come on ZESA make it fair for everyone and stop cutting off certain areas only. ENOUGH is ENOUGH.......you want us to pay then stop cutting off our power and we the consumer will pay but right now you are not offering us any form of service what so ever.

I had a copy in the mid 1960's, thus it must have been produced late 1950's, early 1960's. An excellent leaflet that clearly showed the construction process of a ferro-cement water tank, the use of a corrugated zinc mould, the wire netting to use and the number of strands of 8 gauge galvanised wire to be applied at each corrugation. It also included mortar mixtures and described the plastering process. With both urban and rural area water shortages and the incidence of cholera in Zimbabwe, interest has again focused on roof water rainwater harvesting. There has been so much development and experimentation over so many years it seems totally unnecessary and pointless to go through another development process and design of a suitable water tank when it has all been done before. The construction process made for very sturdy and durable tanks, I know of several still operational after almost 40 years. The leaflet would be useful for the present cadre of development workers If anyone has a copy would they please contact Stephen Hussey s.w.hussey@dabane.org I would be happy to pay any costs that might be incurred ++++++++ BULAWAYO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Please will all Annual Members of the Society note that subscriptions are due for the year 2010.

February Meter reading 12/12 2009 Billing 6.1.2010 I am a resident of Khumalo, I do not assume that I speak for all the residents, but certainly for the majority. Last week from Feb.8th through Feb, 14th. we had load shedding amounting to 41 hours. Your statement has the usual message: "Electricity is in short supply" etc. etc. 1. Why must certain residents water the outside of their property, using borehole water and a lot of power. I am not aware of a gardening competition in Bulawayo. 2. Any amount of residents have bright lights illuminating their garden from dusk to dawn. Your message is not getting through. 3. The estimated reading, certainly on my account, is vastly overstated.I read my meter daily, I have the figures to show you. I believe, you owe me money 4. Instead of you staff sitting in front of their computer playing "FreeCell" etc. they should go out & read the meters, this is not an idle statement, I have witnessed it. 5. Until you can supply the urban areas with regular power every day, I for one, refuse to pay the 6% for rural electrification. 6. How dare you charge interest on overdue accounts when you can't meet your commitment. 7. I am a pensioner, as such I live on a strict budget. These past few weeks, the money I should pay you, has been spent on candles. I am afraid, you will "have to whistle in the dark" for your money.

This is caused by the incomplete reconversion of lead sulphate to sulphuric acid when a battery is charged. The sulphate gradually covers the plates and the battery loses capacity until it no longer works. This happens to all lead acid batteries and is the cause of about 80% of battery failure. The situation is worse where a battery is stationary or is charged incorrectly (inverter / boat / camping batteries). In the past it was possible to add chemicals to the battery cells to remove the sulphate deposits on the plates, with modern sealed batteries this is cannot be done. It is however possible to dissolve the sulphate layer electronically with technology developed and verified in USA.

The purpose of the tour is twofold: we aim to raise the profile of ZANE in that part of the world and to raise funds. If you are not familiar with the magnificent work done by ZANE over the last eight years the best source of information about its structure and the work it does can be found on http://www.zaneinfo.com/donate.asp About 3000 Zimbabwean OAP's (Old Age Pensioners) are helped by various organizations. Some of these people are helped by more than one organization: Homes in Zimbabwe provides food support for the old age homes and for SOAP in both Harare and Bulawayo; SOAP Harare and SOAP Bulawayo focus on the delivery of food parcels to private homes; Senior Citizens Service Bulawayo focuses on medical needs and particularly drugs; The Pensioners Fund helps cover drugs and emergency medical costs in Harare and outlying districts and also gives financial support to SOAP Bulawayo and Harare ZANE, the largest charity, focuses on individual rental payments in Old Age Homes as well as rates and utility payments for people living in private homes. It has raised over £5 million since its foundation in 2002 and provided £800,000 to fund its work in 2008/ 2009. It has distributed some 22,000 charitable grants of fuel, medicines, food and financial support to the needy in 2008/ 2009 - up from 7,000 grants the previous year. Between 2005 and 2009 ZANE distributed £1,077,667 on behalf of Services' Charities to WW2 veterans and their widows in Zimbabwe. ZANE has lost no money through corruption since it was founded in 2002 and is the only charity operating in Zimbabwe that gives substantial aid to both the white and the black communities. It relies on private donors. 'ZANE does quite outstanding work on behalf of vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe, and we have been proud to support them. Although the new unity government has made some tentative progress in recent months, the pressures bearing on those the organization supports in both the black and white communities have not eased, indeed in many ways they have intensified. The work ZANE does through its committed and inspirational team continues to provide an invaluable lifeline. It has been a privilege to see the skill and care with which the organization directs its precious resources towards those in the greatest need.' H.E. Mark Canning Ambassador, British Embassy Harare, Zimbabwe If you are able to attend one of our presentations outlined below please feel welcome to join us to listen and to learn why the present situation is worse than ever for the pensioners. You may contact the person designated to find out details. Please would you also forward this invitation to all friends of Zimbabwe on your mailing list.
