The most amazing of the seven natural wonders of the world, we have been to the Vic Falls dozens of times but nave never seen it like this !! Old Lady Kariba turns fifty this year, we just hope she will be strong enough to contain all of that water that is thundering towards the wall ! The Zambesi River is raging, White water Rafting ceased very early this year due to the level of the water and it is certainly the right time to visit the Falls !! The view from the Zimbabwe side is superlative, but prepare to be drenched !! There is so much spray rising from the Falls that it looks like an atomic explosion .... and the water spreads from bank to bank . Past Devils Cataract towards the Main Falls and onwards, it is almost impossible to see anything there is so much spray but when the spray falls occasionally due to wind turmoil, the view is sublime. Rain coats and umbrellas are for hire at the gate but do yourself a favour, don a pair of old shorts and a tee shirt and enjoy the fabulous sensation of being absolutely soaked but warm and toasty in the Zimbabwe sun. Make sure to wear non slip shoes, those Zimbabwe special rafters, preferably that dry in a flash, take a plastic bag or waterproof container for your camera equipment, and undertake one of the most fabulous walks of your life. At the end of the cobblestoned river walk, do not expect to see Zambia, it is behind a glorious curtain of white spray, but make your way to the viewing area and watch the nutty bungee jumpers and the tourists on the exciting gorge swing, what a buzz it must be to do it !! As I said earlier, Kariba Dam turns 50 this year on 16 May and I quote from an article by an unnamed writer (with apologies) !! " The huge concrete arch, double curvature dam wall, 128m high and spanning 617m across the narrow Kariba Gorge between Zambia and Zimbabwe, had finally closed off the waters of the Zambezi River, creating a lake 280 kms long and covering some 5200 sq km of the Zambezi valley. It had not been an easy undertaking. Described as the one of the engineering wonders of the world, the dam took 5 years to complete and its construction was fraught with challenges. Hundreds of Tonga villagers who lived along the Zambezi River upstream from the dam were relocated away from their ancestral homes and fishing livelihoods and resettled on high ground to the south and west of the new lake, where they were left to scratch out a living in hostile, infertile territory. Thousands of animals were drowned, unable to escape the rising lake waters. Today - 50 year's later - two hydro power stations (one on each side of the dam) continue to be a major source of electricity for the Southern African region. As the month of May 2010 approaches, and the little town of Kariba prepares to celebrate 50 years of its history, the dam is once again under siege from the floodwaters of the Zambezi River. There have been heavy rains in the catchment area upstream during the past two years and the lake has filled at a phenomenal rate. When it reached 75% capacity in March 2010, with inflows still expected until the end of May, the Zambezi River Authority (an inter-governmental body responsible for the dam's management) opened three of Kariba's six sluice gates with warnings to villagers and communities downstream to prepare for the ensuing floods. A fourth gate has since been opened, and the lake is still rising at 83% capacity, with about two metres to go before it is full. The rise will continue throughout April and May, but hopefully at a slower rate as seasonal rainfall subsides. The Zambezi River downstream of Kariba is a now rushing torrent, with sandy islands underwater and low-lying villages and tourism camps threatened with flooding. Some would say that the Zambezi River spirit, Nyaminyami - depicted in local craftwork as a fanged serpent, is once again making a show of strength. During the 1950s floods which nearly destroyed the Kariba dam wall in the making, local Tonga communities believed that they were the work of Nyaminyami, angry at the construction of the wall which had separated him from his wife downstream. Whatever the speculation, Lake Kariba is looking stunning at the moment. Visitors to the town should take time to visit the dam wall which is spectacular with its flood spray rising high into the air between the hills of the dramatic gorge. Great views and photographic opportunities are to be had from the Observation Point on the hill above the dam, where you can buy Kariba crafts and souvenirs as well. But even more spectacular is a trip onto the wall itself. If you leave your ID documents at the Immigration post on the Zimbabwean side, in exchange for a temporary permit, (this only takes a few minutes) you can walk or take a drive down to the wall where you can experience the full force of Nyaminyami 's power as you walk along the impressive concrete curve. It's like a mini, man-made Victoria Falls and well worth the visit! Wish Kariba a happy 50th birthday while you are at it!" Please have a look at some pics on the Falls and Kariba on www.morningmirror.africanherd.com +++++++ 2) NOTICES JOHN EDMOND I regret to write that John Edmond's projected concert has been cancelled - or at least postponed until next year. We had thought to make a decision towards the end of next week but John has pre-empted us by contacting our co-promoter since he needs a decision now and, although booking is picking up, we felt that we could not take the risk of losing money on this event. I'm sorry for the disappointment this will cause and, of course, money will be returned for any tickets purchased.

They decided to set up their braai area no more than 3 metres behind our picnic site,which would not have been a problem if they were of a sober and respectful manner,but they were all drunk,behaving ridiculously, but the worst of it was their language! Have you no shame to talk about the things you "shouted" about so loudly and openly, and the foul language in which all your stories were discussed,you could quite clearly see there were women and children in our group and yet you continued until we could't stand it any longer,so we packed up and left, as early as 2pm! Our Family outing spoilt! You know who you are and should be ashamed of yourselves,you clearly have no respect for women,children or any fellow human beings,and i struggle to understand why getting so drunk and behaving in such a manner is cool or funny. Is there any place one can actually take their family to that is fun and safe and where drinking is not top of the agenda for the day? As far as I am concerned,alcohol is a huge problem in our town and it is spoiling what little is left for us non drinkers and our children.Wake up and see what your doing to yourselves and those around you!!!!

Please do not forget the meeting next Wednesday 28th April 2010. AT Bulawayo Athletic Club, 12th Ave Extension. Both our City Councilors will be present. +++++ SAVE THE FROGS DAY DECLARED. Frog numbers are declining globally. The scientific community recently declared April 30 the second annual SAVE THE FROGS DAY. The goal is to raise awareness of the rapid disappearance of frog species worldwide. Frog populations worldwide have been declining at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of the world's frog species are threatened with extinction. Up to 200 species have already completely disappeared in recent years. Frogs are faced with an onslaught of environmental problems, including climate change, pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, and over harvesting for the pet and food trades. Habitat destruction is the primary threat to frogs particularly in Zimbabwe, but also world wide. Please could your readers speak to at least one person on April 30, and urge them to save our Frogs and toads, by avoiding killing them on the roads during the rainy season, but most of all by not dumping refuse, and to ask them to pass on this message to one other person.If anyone would like more information on our threatened Zimbabwean species please contact Rob Hopkins on email robron@yoafrica.com or go to www.savethefrogs.com/day. ++++++++ 7a) GOSSIP COLUMN When HeeHoo and I were in Cape Town recently we had the most fabulous catering done by a young couple called Gary and Sarah. They were absolutely outstanding and I can highly recommend their catering. Sarah also does the most exquisite wedding cakes. e mail Sarah on dall.sarah@gmail.com +++++ Thanks for the lovely pictures of the falls.. The Vic Falls Hotel what a magnificent piece of Victorian Architecture it is. I used to lodge with an elderly lady in Livingstone in the sixties,a Mrs Law who had a load of brilliant photos of both the Falls Hotel and Borrow Street baths both of which her husband had been instrumental in their construction. Unfortunately I think she died intestate many years later so what happened to those albums is unknown(maybe an appeal in your newsheet? on the chance that someone may still have them?).They were beautiful large size prints and wonderful to see the Borrow St baths with all those magnificent trees that surround it nowadays,as tiny newly planted shrubs. My other reason for writing(from a beautiful London Spring) is the tag on the picture of the "Passenger Trolley",in the grounds of the hotel. When I first went to Livingstone in about 1953 they were still used extensively to 'ferry' people from the hotel down to where the national parks entry into the rain forest is (or was?).The line ended where the road and rail crossed.Passengers could then cross the line and get on another that lead around the rain forest and down to the bridge.Going down to the Falls there were usually only 2 'men' involved but coming uphill, required considerably more power, Depending on the drivers 'reading' of his passengers demeanour,the downhill journey could be quite thrilling,with the driver hanging on the back and controlling the speed and brakes, with the aid of a hand winch! Anyway once again thanks for some brilliant pictures Yours Geoff Crimes ++++++ Thank you for the 382 Editorial - what a pleasure to travel with you in my head...done that drive so often, and each time there is something new to watch out for. The boys and I spent our time in the Game Reserve at the drop of a hat in my old diesel land rover..we had the run of the bush round Robins Camp as I knew the staff and they got used to us bumbling in and out.... My brother was GM of Wankie Colliery and they had Isalwani Game Lodge off Robins and that was magic. Gordon felt it was really over the top with the interior decor and said that he really thought the loos would sing "Born Free" when flushed...but it was a magic spot. I wonder what it looks like now...I sat and sketched the warthog on the lawn as they knelt there, I kept very still and they munched around the three of us without getting uptight...bliss!! Thank you for a super nostalgic run Love Jean T, ++++++++ 8) GWERU AND HARARE NEWS ++++++++ 9) WINING AND DINING MARION'S KITCHEN at BULAWAYO COUNTRY CLUB NEW menu items include - CHICKEN KIEV juicy and garlicky CRUMBED BEEF wrapped around smoked ham & cheese EISBEIN our own pickled and smoked speciality STICKY SPARE RIBS plenty for the ravenous We still offer the hugest SEAFOOD PLATTER in town and seafood COMBOS in addition to lots of light and main meal choices.
