Bad word then, a most politically incorrect word way back in the late nineties, and still a "bad word" today. I interviewed Guy H.B. about how Farmers were the folk, in 1896, who started the schools. They also started the clinics, the Women's Institutes, the Agricultural Shows, Clubs and Associations. They were the backbone of the fabric of infrastructure of this Country. I recall getting an e-mail from an eminent fellow broadcaster, saying "you are brave, I have been wanting to do something of that nature for a while but never dared". Needless to say, my days with ZBC were numbered, and my interview with that dreaded "Farmer" was probably one of the final nails in my broadcasting coffin. Little has changed since then. The commercial farmers have taken a considerable beating. Their awful, terrible, nightmare tales will be told one day, and widen Western eyes. It is hard to believe that anyone could have lived through such atrocities. Raw nerves have healed slightly with time, but the pain and desolation of losing not only ones livelihood, possessions, farm equipment, crops and land; is nothing compared to the loss of lives of parents, children, loyal staff, precious pets and livestock. The numbing reality of having "forgotten" some of the worst debacles in the world, came to me last week while reading Peter Godwin's book "When a Crocodile Eats the Sun". I found, reading tale after tale of the stories of the hideous farm invasions, that I had almost forgotten some of the tragic things that had happened to our farmers. I was disgusted in myself. I had nearly forgotten the savage, brutal deaths of the Martin Olds, Ian Kay, Terry Ford and all the others. I was ashamed to admit that power cuts, fuel prices and water shortages had replaced what was really important in life. But that is the communist doctrine, isn't it? Force people to queue. Force them to fight for commodities. Make it such a trial to keep body and soul alive, that they have no time to remember the real things that count. But, I am proud to report that as life takes its many twists and turns for the farming folk, all the more courage emerges. Today, there are more tales of bravery and tenacity than ever, as Man triumphs over injustice, treachery and plain brazen theft. Look at the erstwhile farmer who has made a plan to mow and bale the grass on school fields, sports fields and roadside verges. He feeds his cattle and at the same time makes a contribution to the sad state of affairs for which we pay our rates and taxes; keeping the road verges trimmed. Look at that most enterprising farming crew, "Boetie and The Gang", who drive up and down the city roads in their faithful tractor, filling in the roadside dongas and ravines that have now appeared with the recent rains. Look at the young couple who came to Bulawayo recently from KweKwe. The whole family needs counselling from their horrendous treatment, but instead they have opened up a boarding hostel to make ends meet. Look at the farmers who have become the most incredible entrepreneurs, simply doing what they do best. They have opened butcheries, established feed lots, are buying and selling cattle and opening market gardens. Many have gone into transport: bringing in fuel; selling generators and inverters; providing the services that should and used to be provided by the crumbling government and municipal bodies. Look at the farmers who have taken on the mantles of the aged and infirm, rounding up financial and moral support for the destitute and the elderly. It is they, who have had so much taken away from them, that bring new hope to folk who thought that their world, our world, the world in which we have lived for so many happy years, comes to a stumbling, grumbling, staggering halt. Today: services fail, roads disintegrate, power fails and water supplies dry up. The precious food source that the farmers once sought to produce for the masses is now too expensive for the ordinary man in the street. Yet the circle turns, and the farmers are there for us again. ++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++ 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH. BULAWAYO WATER SUPPLY SITUATION UPDATE REPORT AS AT 23 MAY 2007 INSIZA DAM 47.11% AND WILL LAST UNTIL NEXT RAINY SEASON BUT IS GRAVITY FED AND HAS VERY LIMITED OFF-TAKE. Inyankuni 11.65% TO BE DECOMMISSIONED IN OCTOBER Lower Ncema 17.73% TO BE DECOMMISSIONED IN AUGUST Umzingwane 2% TO BE DECOMMISSIONED MID JUNE Upper Ncema 1.6% ALREADY DECOMMISSIONED ! TARGET MONTHLY CONSUMPTION 90 000 CU MT PER DAY ACTUAL CONSUMPTION 120 000 CU MT PER DAY N.B. UMZINGWANE HAS TO BE DECOMMISSIONED MID JUNE MUCH EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED. ... LOWER NCEMA WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED IN AUGUST. ONLY 69,000 CUBIC METRES A DAY WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAINST A WATER DEMAND OF 129,000 CUBIC METRES A DAY. CONSUMERS WILL THEN ONLY BE RECEIVING 50 PERCENT OF THEIR NORMAL SUPPLY. WHEN INYANKUNI IS DECOMMISSIONED IN OCTOBER, THEN AVAILABLE SUPPLY WILL ONLY BE EQUAL TO 46,000 CUBIC METRES A DAY. THIS ENTAILS SUPPLYING THE CONSUMERS WITH ONLY A THIRD OF THE NORMAL SUPPLY. HENCE, AT THIS STAGE, IT'S UNLIKELY THAT CONSUMERS IN HIGH-LYING AREAS WILL RECEIVE ANY SUPPLIES AT ALL. WATER DELIVERY TO THESE AREAS WILL THEREFORE BE THROUGH WATER BOWSERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN SHORT SUPPLY. Every drop counts. Report all water bursts to: 60408, 65573, 413419, 484833. After hours: 77331, 72161. +++++++++ 3) NOTICES PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO P.O.BOX 2360 - BULAWAYO As already announced, our next event (the eleventh this year!) will be a DVD opera at the Bulawayo Club: FRIDAY 15 JUNE at 6.00 P.M. : PUCCINI'S TURANDOT Turandot was Puccini's last opera and is, of course, the home of Nessun dorma - though you have to wait until Act III! It contains a lot more glorious music in Puccini's typical style as well as something very different in the exotic Chinese influences. For my money it's his best opera and this is a truly spectacular production from the Met in New York directed by Franco Zeffirelli with Eva Marton as Turandot and Placido Domingo as Calaf. The opera last a little over two hours and the intended timetable is as follows: · Bar opens: 5.15 p.m. · Turandot Act I: 6.00 p.m. · Interval:: 6.40 p.m. · Turandot Act II: 7.00 p.m · Dinner: 7.45 p.m. · Turandot Act III: 9.15 p.m. · Finish: 10.05 p.m. The Club has guaranteed that it will produce a good dinner that is value for money and the anticipated cost is $300 000 per head. I think this is very fair as a three-course dinner elsewhere in Bulawayo ten days ago was over $400 000 and prices are now rising by several per cent a day. Ticket/programmes with cast list, full synopsis etc. will be on sale at the Club and the Academy from Wednesday 6 June. COMING SHORTLY! You may recall that there was talk of a Spanish tenor in June and that we were awaiting details. There still is and we still are! - but we hope that this concert will materialise in early July. Two further dates have already been confirmed in earlier newsletters but are repeated below and we can add two more as follows: FRIDAY 29 JUNE : THE BULAWAYO PHILHARMONIC CHORUS This will be a programme on the lighter side and full details will follow in the next newsletter TUESDAY 24 JULY : PETER MARTENS (CELLO), JEANETTE MICKLEM (PIANO) Bach: Cello Suite No.3 in C major, BWV1009 - Schubert: Sonata in A minor, D.821 - Arpeggione Chopin: Introduction and Polonaise brillant, Op.3 - Franz Xaver Mozart: Grande Sonate in E major TUESDAY 16 OCTOBER : LIBOR NOVĄ?EK (PIANO) The programme will include music by Brahms and Liszt SATURDAY 1 DECEMBER : CHRISTMAS CONCERT The Choirs of Convent High, Girls' College and CBC with the BPO and Chorus The programme will include Vivaldi's Gloria, carols and other Christmas music. That's by no means all we have in mind as we're intending to make it at least twenty concerts and other events this year! We're hoping for Walter Klauss (organ) in August, the return of the French trio in November and planning a Music Under the Stars at a cleaned- up Hillside Dams in September - as well, of course, as more DVD operas and concerts, including Otto Klemperer conducting Beethoven's Ninth. TWO LAST THINGS Attendance at concerts isn't always what we hope for. We're very aware of the constraints, most especially the horrifying cost of fuel, and we do our best to keep costs as low as we can - ridiculously low, some say! I'm sure that power cuts and winter weather don't help either but we have had several truly outstanding concerts this year, most recently Barbara Fusco's last Tuesday (which I think everyone who was there agrees was quite as good as I had promised it would be) but none of them has been full, several less than half full - which is a touch dispiriting for both the committee and the performers. If everyone who receives this letter came with their other half or a friend, then we'd be turning people away! Please make an effort to attend concerts and spread the word since we also still get complaints that "we didn't know it was on". And THE SQUEAK! Several were as irritated and mystified as I was by a persistent squeak during the first half of Barbara Fusco's concert - and the one by the French trio earlier in the month. I've had several theories and no answers - it certainly wasn't the piano's sustaining pedal and general opinion is that it was coming from towards the back on the audience right of the hall. If anyone can shed any light, we should be delighted to hear from you, tempted, indeed, to offer a small reward! And one last thought: today, 2 June, is Elgar's 150th birthday - so why not sing a quick chorus of 'Land of Hope and Glory'?! But I'm hoping that we can celebrate the occasion rather more meaningfully with a DVD of The Dream of Gerontius before the end of the year.... Best wishes as always, Michael Bullivant +++++++++ MORNING MIRROR ADVERT BULAWAYAN LECTURE SERIES Need something new to occupy about an hour of your evening? Costs nothing!

Join your hosts at Victoria Falls Primary School on the 23rd of June 2007, for a banquet under the stars in aid of the revolutionary Bridges of Hope - Aids Awareness programme and the Victoria Falls Anti Poaching Unit, and their quest to reform poachers by offering an educational alternative to earning an income. The basic principle of the "African Banquets" is to highlight that Southern Africa is home to many of the finest chefs and internationally recognised game lodges and tourism establishments offering world-class food and hospitality. To this end these tourism establishments are invited to take part in a culinary challenge of the highest order and are judged by some of the finest and best-known culinary judges from Southern Africa and abroad. Lodges such as Elephant Hills, Ilala Lodge, Masuwe, The Kingdom, Mowana and many more from around the area will be participating in the challenge that has put Southern African chefs on the map. Lodges are required to design a menu, choose wines, set and decorate their tables, then - limited to the elements of fire, water and ice, prepare and present a three-course meal then present it to their guest, during an evening of gastronomic delights accompanied by a high class entertainment. Tickets have been quoted in South Africa Rands starting at ZAR1000.

If we are not happy with the price offered at Auction, the item is not sold and will go on auction the following week, or it can be sold "out of hand" for a higher price. We do not accept reserves but if a Seller gives us an estimate of what he/she is hoping to get for an item, we contact them after the Auction and let them decide if they want to accept the price we achieved or not. The auctioneer will indicate "Subject to Confirmation" at the time of sale. The price bid for an item is the price that is recorded on the Auction sheet and the price on the buyer's invoice. Our auction sheets are open for inspection should any Seller wish to clarify prices. Tippex is banned from our offices! Members of staff and Auctioneers are not permitted to bid for anybody. All proxy bids are written on the Auction sheets and the person writing the Auction sheets does the bidding - again open for inspection.

And you can be that servant. --Martin Luther King Jr. +++++++++ MY CHOICE What makes man different to animals? God gave man a free will - CHOICE! We can choose how we live - we can choose life or death - blessing or cursing !! We can choose to-: love and not hate We can choose to have peace and not fear We can choose to have joy and not sorrow We can choose to have faith and not doubt We can choose to be kind and not harsh We can choose to be givers and not be greedy We can choose to walk in forgiveness and not bitterness We can choose to walk in humbleness and not pride We can choose to walk in hope and not despair We can choose to walk in mercy and not cruelty We can choose to walk in freedom and not condemnation and guilt We can choose to walk in gratitude and thanks and not have a complaining and negative spirit! I can choose to cast my cares upon Him or I can choose to carry the burden and heavy load myself. I can choose to speak positive and encouraging words, words of hope (life) or I can choose to speak negative, critical, judgmental and slanderous words that will kill, destroy and maim (death). How can we then blame God for how our lives turn out when all along it was our choice which path we tread? If we choose to follow the path of un-forgiveness it will most assuredly and definitely lead down a road of death, self destruction, torment, depression and isolation. But don't blame God for where you are, it was YOUR CHOICE! For unlike animals God gave us a free will - the right to choose because He wanted an intimate relationship and friendship with us. This kind of closeness cannot be forced - for it to be real there has to be willingness on both sides. God is more than willing - He gave the best part of Himself - His only Son to us and all He wants from us is to CHOOSE Him and His ways! Challenge (Put it to Work) Lets take one of the above joy and put it into practice. Next time you feel depressed first check to see what is the root of your depression (it could be because of strife, un- forgiveness, anger, anxiety, worry, disappointment) deal with the root then choose happiness and say to yourself "I will be joyful" - I will think of and focus on all the good things in my life - I will be grateful and thankful for so many blessings in my life. This has been an easy lesson for me to learn as I live opposite to a handicap school and every day when I see these children some of whom are severely handicapped with partial limbs - how can I not be thankful for being able to do the simple things in life which we all take for granted. What about un-forgiveness, next time someone offends or hurts you, you can choose and decide to forgive that person or you can dwell and meditate on that offence! Think of a bulbous weed, when it is young it is easy to pull up but the longer it is left to grow the harder it is to pull and uproot that weed as the root grows deeper and deeper! And so it is with un-forgiveness the longer you dwell on the hurt the harder it is to uproot and it will continue to grow into bitterness, resentment and anger. Then there is fear anxiety and worry which we all face living in this extremely difficult environment. It is a known scientific fact that anxiety, worry and fear are the root causes of certain diseases. We can choose not to allow fear into our lives, we can choose to cast our cares on Him for He careth for you! We can choose to trust Him with our lives (even when things look hopeless).
