ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M 1) Editorial Spring in Zimbabwe We have many problems to contend with on a daily basis in Zimbabwe. Sometimes it feels as if this situation will never end and we cannot see what the future holds. Then nature intervenes and suddenly there is a new perspective on things. We have about 5 months of rain each year and 7 months of dry weather. The long dry season starts in March or April and runs to November or December. Our autumn comes slowly as the veld dries out and day length shortens and temperatures decline. Unlike many places in Africa we get four very distinct seasons as they do in the northern hemisphere, the great difference is that our winter is dry and our spring very hot. Each of these seasons has a special character, summer with the tropical storms, towering cumulus and rain that comes with a rush and vanishes just as quickly - life explodes and suddenly the nights are full of insects of an endless variety, baboon spiders running across the floor, birds nesting and migrants arriving from far off places. Then autumn; temperatures dropping but the veld still green and rivers running clear, the air is clean and crisp and for two months we enjoy the most amazing weather, with startling blue skies and a blaze of stars at night. The migrants depart for the Congo and Europe and the whole country gets ready for the dry season and the hot months that signal a new summer in gestation. Because I am in Parliament I have to travel to and from the Capital every week and some three weeks ago we left our flat in the leafy suburb of Chisipite and drove to Bulawayo, returning just four days later. We left a garden that was a dry, leafless wilderness. The Msasa trees were leafless and dead. When we came back it was suddenly spring. The Msasa trees were out in every shade of pastel green, brown and burgundy. In two weeks the garden was transformed and the deep shade under the trees created by a canopy of leaves that are miraculously covered in a fine sheen of soluble wax that limits evaporation until the rains come and in the meantime give the trees a luminosity that delights artists. At home in Bulawayo, the main road to our home is lined with Wild Wisteria trees - normally a scruffy, untidy tree that would hardly ever catch your attention. Suddenly they put out pale green shoots and then clusters of pale purple flowers so delicate that they look unreal. Close up, every shower of flowers is worthy a picture for a calendar. It does not end there - in the dry barren bush, the trees along the sand river banks burst into thick yellow showers of flowers. These serve as food for the Giraffe as everything else is still dry and barren with little sign of life until the rains come. In the towns the Jacaranda trees shower the streets with a purple carpet of flowers, often contrasting with the Bougainvillea of every shade and colour. Sometimes the brilliance of the colours is so great that you almost have to shade your eyes when looking at them in the bright sunlight. I recall a time in the Save Valley, an area that is almost desert it is so dry and barren, when suddenly in October, the hottest month of the year and the height of spring, a small indistinct shrub comes out in a mass of flowers which are the most brilliant shade of yellow you will ever see anywhere in the world. They literally glow in the bush and against the backdrop of the dry Mopani veld and thickets of thorn bush and brown rocky earth, the contrast is startling. I have no idea what it is called and 48 hours later the flowers are dead and litter the ground under the thin scrub. Every season has its special features and delights, an endless variety of colours and shades, some so delicate they do not look real and are difficult to paint and capture in print form. Right now, where the veld fires have not run riot, the grass is a pale yellow - impossible to describe, almost white, not quite the same shade as an Elephant tusk. We know a local artist who captures these colours but has to use an amazing and complex formula of colours to get the right shades and features. Who can forget an early morning walk in the open veld, with a gun for protection or something for the pot, boots sodden with the dew, the call of the night jars as you make coffee over the fire before sunrise and then the early calls of the birds in response to the rising Sun. Coming back at 10 just when it's getting impossibly hot for a big breakfast including eggs, steak and fresh kidneys and more thick coffee or tea. The seasons tell us as Africans that there is a time for everything and that as the seasons change, so does our lives and for me the beauty of our flowering trees and shrubs is a constant reminder that even in the deep of a dry barren winter, life can spring surprises and there is always some magic in the air. We live in a country at war with itself, poor governance, bad policy, lousy leadership and rampant corruption have created conditions that have made us one of the poorest countries in the world. Our statistics abound with examples of our record breaking tendencies of a negative nature - the biggest decline in living standards in the world in the past 20 years, the highest infant mortality for children under 5, at the bottom of just about every survey that is conducted of counties in whatever field you can name - ease of doing business, income per capita, corruption, the highest rate of inflation in world history. But against that backdrop, like the barren backdrop to the yellow flowers in the Save Valley, we have brilliant bursts of colour and talent and achievement that still make us an exceptional nation with great character and ability. When faced with unbelievable hardship and poverty, we turn to prayer and our bibles, when harassed by the authorities and beaten on the streets, we turn our backs to them and give them our forgiveness. We play world class cricket and win gold medals in swimming and other sports. We turn to the informal sector for a living when our formal jobs disappear and work hard with great innovation creating a hidden economy that is much bigger than the formal one and leaves experts and economists struggling to understand how we survive. Right now I can sense the start of a new season in Zimbabwe, talks are underway and our leadership is changing hands. We have no idea what sort of season awaits us this year or next, but we know, that when it happens everything will change and anything is possible. We all know this and can feel the country stirring again after a long hard, dry winter.

He attended Milton Junior School, and then went onto Milton Senior where he was head-boy in 1952. Many years later, he served as the Chairman of the School PTA, at a time when the school was transforming itself at Independence. He went to the University of Cape Town, and subsequently joined the Bulawayo Board of Executors and Trust Company in 1958. He retired after 42 years' service in 2000 as both Chairman, a position he had held for many years, and a Managing Director. During this period, and through the Bulawayo Board, he served as Chairman of Falcon Gold Mines Ltd (Falgold) having steered it to its listing on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. At the time Falgold was the country's largest gold producer. He was also Chairman of Olympus Gold Mines (Pvt) Ltd, Willsgrove Brick and Potteries (Pvt) Ltd, and a Director of Zimcor Ltd and Knight Frank and Rutley. Roy was a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute London, and served as Chairman of Willis Coroon, followed by Alexander Forbes from 2000 to 2010, Associated Brokers International (Pvt) Ltd and was the Chairman of WFDR Risk Services at the time of his death. In the mining sector Roy was a well-known figure for many years, representing the Industry on two Government delegations to India and Canada shortly after Independence. He was elected President of the Chamber of Mines, having served for many years on the Executive and as Vice-President. He was also Chairman of the Mining Industry Pension Fund. Following his retirement in 2000 he was elected as a Life Member of the Chamber of Mines. The Zimbabwe School of Mines was both established, and located in Bulawayo, during this period, almost entirely due to Roy's efforts and persuasion. The Zimbabwe School of Mining is now recognised as the SADC Centre of excellence for mining, a credit to the City of Bulawayo, but a tribute to a determined son of this City. For many years he served as Chairman of CABS (Matabeleland Board) and was a member of the main Board. After his retirement he served as CEO of ABUZ, and was also Chairman of the Bulawayo Publicity Association, on which Executive he served for ten years. On the sporting arena, Roy captained Matabeleland Hockey, and went on to play for his Country. He was a member of the first National Team to travel abroad. As a boy he grew up very involved with Boy Scouts, with his crew winning the annual Assegai Competition, and earning the first ever Kings Scout Award in Southern Rhodesia. He went on to become a member of the Raylton Rover Crew, one of the last surviving member. It was from his scouting days that Roy became interested in botany, a lifetime hobby that was immensely rewarding and resulted in some significant work done in the Matobo Hills. Roy's great passion was the Matobo Hills. Apart from his depth of knowledge and love of all that the hills have to offer, he was a member of the Rhodes Estate Matobo Committee, and served as Chairman of the Matobo Conservation Society. Roy is survived by Joan, his children Sally, Gavin and Desmond, and four grandchildren. The funeral service will be held at the City Presbyterian Church (J Moyo & 5th Ave) at 3.30pm on Wednesday 2nd December. ++++ FENNER, RODGER 26 November 2015 Close friend and flight instructor for many years.

This new requirement will be implemented at all South African border posts, according to Vishnu Naidoo, SAPS Head: Media Communications. Drivers of South African-registered cars crossing SA borders must carry and present a certified copy of vehicle registration/vehicle licence papers at the border posts. This must be accompanied by a letter from the bank giving authorisation to take the vehicle across the border and must indicate dates of travel. Both the bank letter and licence papers should be signed by a Commissioner of Oaths. If the driver of the vehicle is not the owner of the vehicle, an affidavit from the police giving authorisation from the financial institution/owner to take the vehicle abroad is required. If the car is rented, the driver must have a letter from the rental company giving permission to take the vehicle out of the country. Regulations do change, and a customs officer advises SA travellers to check with the SA Auto Club on border regulation updates. - http://www.tourismupdate.co.za/Home/Detail ++++ CITY OF LITTER I drove into the heart of the 'City of Kings'. GREAT isn't it Or is it simply an UTTER disgrace This is just the sort of thing that we want to show visiting tourists/investors, that is if they can find the historical buildings in today's unwanted rubbish dumped in our public spaces. The bulk of it is fast food packaging which is band according to a EMA SI, or was that rescinded in the face of moneyed interests of the fast food chains But then again who really cares! May be the City should be concerned, especially as there exist regulated fines for retailers who sell specified wrappings and other regulations aimed at people who drop litter - I think it is currently US5 PER ITEM and this goes up with the new budget. I am sure the BCC has additional regulations that also apply. But if the regulators don't bother enforcing the law, well why should people change their lazy, selfish attitudes Unfortunately I have lost an email with all our elected councillors' emails addresses for images such as these deserve to be circulated widely and I intend doing so. This is not my first complaint about the matter and I know others have also emailed on the same issue providing contrasting images from Mutare. If the City cannot cope with this worsening crisis through nice appeals and putting out dustbins, well it is high time that the residents are actively encouraged - by stick if necessary. If the City and/or EMA starts fining people they will soon learn and the coffers will be improved to help pay for the clearing, the landfill, the blocked drains, etc. But the application of fines needs someone to man the streets and back, alleys fining the guilty which includes pedestrians, taxi operators and retailers.It is more than just the vendors which is the easy target to blame. This watching and fining must be across the city, day and night, at least as a serious blitz campaign for a while. This includes weekends. You will know where these places are and the retailers nearby. Anti-Litter should be a campaign that the City enforces from the smallest piece, namely the cellphone recharge slip, to the container of rubbish tipped out the taxi near the Anglican Cathedral and by retailers into the servitude alleys. May be we need to have a nice smokey spectacle like a bomb-fire of burning plastic and other litter in the centre of town to get the message across. These photographs don't do justice to the real magnitude of the problem but are snapshots of what left disgusted and embarrassed today. But, as I said above, who really cares!
