All of my buddies have been fined by the traffic police for inane, inconsequential reasons, but they let me through the roadblocks every time. As a nation we are all fuming, and I need to have my 'vent' too!! Some of my buddies have even had their vehicles clamped!! Heaven help the fellow who decides my vehicle needs clamping in this heat!! Now I know I am compliant in all things -I have all the right stickers on my window, I have no outstanding traffic fines. In fact I am squeaky clean, but spoiling for a fight. When I do get stopped, it's my Southern Rhodesia Drivers license, issued in the dark ages, that renders the policemen speechless. Most of them are so young, they have never even heard of Southern Rhodesia!! With an incredulous 'eeish' I am waved through, they have never met anyone so old driving a car probably!! My photo also leaves them astounded, taken at the tender age of sixteen, with a bouffant hairdo, I look like a cross between Dusty Springfield and Lady Gaga!! However they did grab me once, I must confess, for the most ridiculous reason in the world!! Instructed to stop at a 'roadblock' on the Kezi road, the engaging gentleman, (who had not yet been to the 'smiling lessons' offered by the ZRP, strolled in a dilatory fashion around my vehicle. Unable to find anything to write home about, he ordered me to open my bonnet!! (aka hood) Ever compliant although annoyed, I obeyed and he suddenly lunged into the engine and like a maniac started to wrench violently at my car battery!! Now it's a modern car, it had all the bells and whistles, but he managed to, in his exertions, establish the most minuscule movement! Aahaa !! He pronounced triumphantly, your battery is loose - twenty dollars please!!! Of course it was loose he had just shaken it loose!! 'And' he said as proud as punch, 'it does not have a clamp over the top, that another twenty!!' HeeHoo tried in vain to explain that cars younger than the average Zimbo car, did not require a clamp, in fact clamps were not advisable from an electrical conduit point of view, but our erstwhile fellow was not to be deterred. He needed a lift to the nearest police station, and we either coughed up the fine, or we had to accompany him 'back to the office'!! So perhaps I am not so squeaky clean after all In fact my battery now has a squeak as a result of that ferocious assault upon it!! ++++++ 2) EVENTS DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH MORNING MARKET Saturday 1st November 2014 from 10am onwards..

In addition to mapping the city's assets such as street lights, roads, water and sewer networks, the computer mapping technology employed by Dr Hunter also stores critical information about these assets such as their condition.

MATABELELAND BRANCH. ++++++ PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY MY FAIR LADY Thursday 23 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. The film of My Fair Lady was released fifty years ago on 21 October 1964 and a 'restored' version issued thirty years later. What else is there to say ... Roger Ebert perhaps: '"My Fair Lady" is the best and most unlikely of musicals, during which I cannot decide if I am happier when the characters are talking or when they are singing. The songs are literate and beloved; some romantic, some comic, some nonsense, some surprisingly philosophical, every single one wonderful. The dialogue by Alan Jay Lerner wisely retains a great deal of "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw... Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ROSSINI: OTELLO Friday 24 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. 'Otello' is one of Rossini's very finest opera but it's not performed nearly as often as it deserves, largely because of the difficulty of getting three top-notch tenors in one place at one time. Rossini's first two acts are in a fairly traditional style but in the third act 'he seems to enter a whole new world of freely flowing dramatic expression, carried by intensely emotional music in which the composer and the bard seem joined at the hip in a hair-raising finale that rivals even Verdi's masterful tragedy.' [Bruce Scott, World of Opera]. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) THE TUDORS: SERIES 2 Thursdays 30 October &and 7 & 14 November in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. In the second series of 'The Tudors', Henry moves quickly to embrace Lutheran ideas, break with the Catholic Church, and marry Anne Boleyn in a secret, private ceremony, but his decisive changes and new loyalty oath pit him against his chancellor and long-time mentor Thomas More. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]. Supper available from 6.15 p.m. VERDI: FALSTAFF Friday 31 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Verdi wrote Falstaff at the ripe old age of 77, and he brought to it a lifetime of stagecraft and a profound love of Shakespeare but with 'Falstaff' he was actually venturing onto fresh ground as his only other comedy had been written fifty years earlier. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]. Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ++++++++ Tree series go on: exhibition & talk to come, next cine-club & DELF exams registrations.

We have received pledges of over $20 000 so far! Thank you! Companies in Bulawayo have also indicated that they will assist in kind once they have seen the bill of quantities. Thank you again! To those who have already assisted with this project we are deeply grateful. For those of you who are still thinking about it, we will be most grateful for your support. Any contribution will be joyfully received. It is our intention to acknowledge every donor on a brass plaque to be fixed permanently to a wall in a prominent position in the Resource Centre. Already schools from across the country have expressed their delight at this initiative. At the moment the 'Adventure into Learning' program is in full swing with groups visiting the school on a regular basis. For many, not only have they taken advantage of what is on offer through 'Adventure into Learning' but they have also discovered the Matopos which, as a matter of interest, has been declared a 'World Heritage Site'!

I am a member of the genealogical society of South Africa. I could not find my great grandfather's eldest brother, Willem Petrus, in any records in South Africa. The last that I have of him was when he signed for his heritage from his mother in 1881. (He might have died as a prisoner of war in India during the ABO, but I am not sure). He signed later than his brothers, and I take it as an indication that he signed when he returned from somewhere. He could have been a big game hunter like his father. Him, and his descendants, are all I need to complete our branch. Last year I saw the name, and the people came from Gwelo Rhodesia. The man just said they "were orphans and he did not know". I googled Prinsloo and Gwelo and all I could find was the Prinsloo children of Henry Long. Were they adopted by Henry Long, or did he marry a Prinsloo widow with children I want to ask one of these children if they knew who were their Prinsloo father (and his wife) Do you have any idea where I could get any information I saw in one of your letters that Peter was in Australia, but the e mail address provided, was no longer valid. Any scrap of information would be valued greatly. Regards (Ms) Kotie Prinsloo thulasizwe@lantic.net +++++ Good evening from Fish Hoek in the Cape, I am looking for old Nkana / Kitwe friends.

Electric Circus and Marjorie's - tjoling with our buddies Fritz after midnight - steak rolls and fights The guys drag- racing - in the dead of the night! Drive-ins, the movies, that our folks couldn't deck Of Course we were all trying to shape - what the heck! The Palace hotel with Mike Stewart and his guys And the hangovers we would try from our parents to hide New Year at the Fountain - then onto Rhodes Grave Here we would watch the sunset, and honour the brave! But they were idiots - my brother was for sure! To try drive up on worldsview-his truck could not endure! But he was young - was going to do this whatever!!! And one of the things that I will remember for ever!!' The 'surf ' in the fountain - the Centenary Park lights The times at Gondies and the ladies nights. So glad I have these memories to keep And as I am older - they help me sleep ! Because I had the best childhood- my memories I hold! And I will treasure them, as I grow old!
