He was furious not to be able to join up for the Korean War!! A soldier to the end! Then he joined Alfred Holt and Co (shipping) in Liverpool, and was sent out to Singapore to join Malayan Airways......there he lived for 10 happy years as a carefree batchelor.....in 1956..I was sent by my then boss of BOAC, to join him for negotiations in Singapore, where I met Gerry in Sept 1956, and we were married in Bulawayo on 15th Dec 1956.....and went ranching for a couple of years with Willoughby's.....then Gerry joined Dunlops and eventually retired in 1988 as Sales Director, and we came to live in Cape Town.

R.E.D Property Chartered Surveyor The only independent Chartered Surveyor in Bulawayo, we SELL, MANAGE, and VALUE all property - residential, commercial and industrial. (no longer, alas, agricultural unless within municipal boundaries) a. PROPERTY SALES: slow at the moment, but sales of sensibly priced properties being negotiated. However, interest from potential purchasers increasing. Harare busy and we have every reason to believe that this will spread to Bulawayo. However, the serious seller should not raise his/her expectations too high. b. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT: our portfolio of SELECTED properties is increasing across the board. We maintain sensible and affordable increases in rental to carefully vetted tenants. Properties are inspected quarterly by a nominated member of staff who is responsible for rental collections, maintenance etc. c. PROPERTY VALUATIONS: Your property valued for all purposes: market value, mortgage/finance purposes, bookkeeping/accounting, insurance and master of High Court. As Chartered Valuation Surveyors, we have many years experience in this field - banks and financial institutions are lending again on the strength of a title deed. We can help in this regard. NOTE: R.E.D Property is a shareholder in Valuation Consortium (VALCON) whose primary function is to collate and enter on our database, agricultural properties that have been "acquired" by Government, with a view to compensation. To this end, the majority of the country has been collated, with the exception, to an extent, of Matabeleland, where registrations are relatively low. We have a comprehensive enhanced map in our office and if you are not yet registered, or know dispossessed farmers who have not registered, then please call at 98A S. Parirenyatwa, indicate your farm, and we will do the rest. Alternatively, call Graham Mullett on 04-746654/5, valuationconsortium@gmail.com, or call John Laurie on 0712 221 002 This is a most important exercise and is an integral part of the compensation exercise. If you are not registered with Valcon, then we can't help you in the quest for just and equitable compensation. R.E.D Property 98a. S. Parirenyatwa St., redproperty@yoafrica.com Tel: 882944/5/6 2.

We bought what we believed was a very high quality suiting from one of our regular suppliers and in good faith produced our latest corporate range. We have become aware of a problem with some of the fabric which results in a kind of shredding of the fabric along the seam. Please contact Anne Bonett at Femina Garments at 465571/81 or e-mail at feminasales@netconnect.co.zw to make an appointment to facilitate this exchange. We thank you for your support over the years and once again apologize for any inconvenience caused.
