Morning Mirror Edition 561 - 29/10/2013


In this edition


1) Editorial

They say "Cobblers Children are Always The Worst Shod" and there I was with giant patches of black algae on the swimming pool walls!!

Sebastian and I had gone to great lengths to get the PH right, scrubbed the walls, loaded it with expensive fancy name brands algae eliminator, but to no avail, still great black patches on the pool walls.

Then Noel from Acol told me about Hydrogen Peroxide.

HeeHoo just never thought to tell me about Hyprox, which he sells in vast industrial quantities, and hey presto, one giant 20 litre chigub of the magic muti and my great swathes of black algae have disappeared completely!!.

Granted it was in fear and trepidation, the first time I went for a swim, that I would enter the pool a brunette and exit a blond, but all was well!!

But this is a long round about way to get to the point of my epistle. Whilst navigating every shop in Bulawayo looking for any good brand of Algae Kill, I found the Bulawayo CBD to be most interesting. Normally I avoid town at all costs, but when on a mission I am mean!!

I hunted high and low on the way I found some real gems for shopping pleasure, like Fazaks in Woodlands, where they cannot do enough for you and they have every conceivable item under one room.

Then I went to OK Mart, a vast emporium with so many amazing goodies and also a great staff.

My normal haunt for groceries is the brand New Bonsa Spar in Parklands, I love the people there, they are so jolly and helpful and I am totally pampered whilst I am there. The shop has giant aisles, they will even push your trolley for you if you look just slightly fatigued, and their deli section and bakery is fantastic. Solomon's Supermarket is also my shopping place of choice as Hylton has the biggest heart in town and his entire staff is excellent and most helpful.

As far as restaurants go, HeeHoo and I went for a divine curry meal at The Spice Rack last night. It was really delicious and most tasty with enough bite even to make HeeHoo blink twice!! I am a sissy about too-spicy food, and my more moderate heat dishes were excellent.

For breakfast we went to 26 On Park, where I had a substantial brekkie of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and HeeHoo had the Full House which kept him busy for two whole plunger pots of lovely aromatic filter coffee.

The big napkin debate has raged in our family for years now. Is it a "napkin" or a "serviette"? Well according to Mrs Beeton, who is the Etiquette Guru of the Twentieth Century, the nicer word is "napkin", but this could hardly apply to the ghastly paper napkins that ALL of the Bulawayo restaurants provide these days.

How well I remember the days in 2008 when the restaurant used to physically gut the paper napkins in half with a pair of scissors!!

Well they may as well be doing that now judging by the diminutive size of the paper napkins. Surely they can see that people will use two or three or even four of those napkins suitable only for the lap of a Toy Pom!! So they may as well supply us with a decent size one and we will only require one instead of four!!

Now here is a challenge for Bulawayo restaurants and coffee shops!! - What about a nice damask napkin, we have no shortage of manpower here to wash a couple of dozen cloth napkins daily? Economics might even prevail and some bright restaurateur may decide it's cheaper to use the real McCoy after all!!

I am becoming so eccentric in my dotage that I may start carrying around my own large freshly starched napkin in my handbag again as I did in 2008 when a pack of paper napkins cost a trillion dollars !!

CITY OF BULAWAYO

PRESS RELEASE
UPSURGE IN WATER CONSUMPTION
The City of Bulawayo has reported an upsurge in water consumption, following the relaxation of the water shedding program from 72 hours to 48 hours. The City's water consumption shot up to 125 Ml on Thursday 3 October 2013 from previous average of 96 Ml per day. The city's present capacity to supply water is about 112 Ml per day and therefore will not cope for long when demand far exceeds this level.
As at Friday 4th October 2013, Tuli reservoir was at 10 feet down from maximum of 18 feet and if demand from this reservoir remains high the city will experience water shortages in the eastern suburbs before shedding again next Monday on 7th October 2013.
Although the shedding program has been relaxed to 48 hours per week, consumers should however continue to conserve water and use it sparingly. Should consumption remain high, water shedding may need to be increased so as to stretch the limited supply to the next rain season.

Council urges all consumers to continue conserving and using water sparingly so as to avoid rapid depletion. It should be noted that supplies are still way below demand. Water is life. Save every drop

Rotary keeps the pressure on polio
For 20 years, Rotary clubs have remained determined to do whatever is necessary to achieve a world free of the crippling disease polio.

Few diseases frightened parents more in the early part of the 20th century than polio did. Polio struck in the warm summer months, sweeping through towns in epidemics every few years. Many people suffered temporary or permanent paralysis and even death. Many polio survivors were disabled for life. They were a visible, painful reminder to society of the enormous toll this disease took on young lives.

Because of widespread vaccination, polio was eliminated from the Western Hemisphere in 1994. Today, it continues to circulate in a handful of countries, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

New cases reported from Somalia and Kenya have alerted Rotary to the importance of maintaining a vigilant watch and ensuring everyone is aware of the importance of combating this dreadful disease until its termination on planet Earth.
The cost of inoculation to save one life is only 60c.
The 4 Rotary Clubs of Bulawayo invite any interested person to join with them on an awareness march on November 9th.
Starting time - 8.30am
From - The City Pool - Samuel Parirenyatwa St.

The Baronet and the Matabele King
The Intriguing Story of the Tati Concession
By David Hilton-Barber
The Baronet of the title is Sir John Swinburne, a British aristocrat and Liberal politician. And the the Matabele King was Lobengula, exceedingly well-made, corpulent, with a commanding presence, and when in a good temper, having a kind heart and a full appreciation of humour.
Tati was the scene of the first gold rush in Southern Africa. This forgotten corner of the sub- continent encapsulates a chapter of our history involving five countries, powerful men, much subterfuge, a botched invasion, a rebellion, land annexation, prospectors, hunters, traders and adventurers. It is a story begging to be told. The book describes the characters involved, the missionary Robert Moffatt, the explorers Henry Chapman and artist Thomas Baines; the hunters, Selous , Hartley and others, and the gold miners, Samuel Edwards and Daniel Francis. The founding kingdom of the Amandabele comes into the picture, as does the land of Chief Khama and the Bamangwato. Tati lay in the path of Cecil Rhodes's dream of a continuous tract of British imperialism from Cape to Cairo. Close by is Tuli where the Pioneer Column crossed over the Limpopo en route to Mashonaland.
The annexation of Bechuanaland was a direct result of the conflicts between the tribes within the area and the threats from President Kruger and from Germany which had recently colonised Angra Pequena.

RAW brings you Bulawayo's first-ever Adventure Sports Festival! Two days of extreme, safe and exhilarating activities for the whole family.... and we haven't left out the more laid-back folks! Enjoy a feature packed arts, music and entertainment program running at the outdoor amphitheater. For the little guys we've got the KidZone - with mini-zipline, foam pit, inflatables, pony & tractor rides, and much more.

But the meat of the festival is the adventure sports! Try your hand at rock climbing, safely harnessed under instructor supervision, brave the mega-zipline if you dare, traverse the tree-tops on the canopy trail, or try your acrobatic skills on the bunji-tramp! There'll be slack-lines for beginners, a daredevil high-wire demonstration, a horizontal bunji competition, and a multi-point geocache hunt with treasure at the end!

For the fitness enthusiasts, break out the bike for an off-road MTB race, or lace up your trail- runners for a scenic trail run/walk though some parts of the dams we bet you've never seen before! Loads of prizes to be won throughout the weekend.

Wind down at the end of the day with a canoe paddle on the top dam, catch a sunset concert and then settle down at the amphitheater for a fire show, and a screening of some of the most incredible extreme sports documentaries you've ever seen - athletes at the top of their game.

There will be plenty food, drinks and stalls, as well as security, an ambulance and a first-aid station to ensure you have a safe, secure and fun-filled event. Take your festival experience to the next level by bring the whole family camping for the weekend - enjoy the magic of the bush, right here in town!

Which brings us to the reason for the festival - the Hillside Dams Conservancy, well-know and well-loved by the Bulawayo community. Hillside Dams is THIRSTY, and needs an upgrade to the irrigation system to get the lawns and gardens green, ablutions at the top dam so we don't have so far to waddle for a widdle, and beefed up security so we can continue to play in a safe environment. 80% of funds raised will be ploughed straight into these projects, to make the Dams a better place for our community - fundraising by Byo, for Byo!

So come on down folks, it's going to be huge! Make sure you keep this weekend free, and get ready for RAW to Rock/Air/Water your world!

              And may the memory of Africa be with you always.

TO ALL OUR MEMBERS
In view of what's recently been reported in the press and other media services, I would like to report to all our members what has been happening in Hwange National Park with regards to the horrific Elephant deaths that have been reported and the part WEZ has been playing to assist Parks.

As we all aware numerous elephants have been reported poached in the South West Area of the park which boarders onto the Tsholotsho Communal Area, as a result of poisoning water holes and lacing of salt with cyanide.

While this initially appeared to be confined to the Southern area of the Park, it was later discovered that the Eastern Border Area, that bordering the Forestry Areas had also been affected with reports of 5 carcasses being found in the Ngamo Forest Area, suspected of having been poisoned.

I was contacted about this by Sharon Pincott (Presidential Elephants) who was very concerned that while these initial reports were confined to the Ngamo Area, the area north of Ngamo and the Sikumi Forest Area, could also have possibly been infiltrated, putting the Presidential Herd at risk and she asked if there was any chance WEZ could assist in an aerial survey to assess the situation.

I contacted Pat Cox who as we all know has been assisting us for many years with the aerial survey prior to our Annual Game Count, who didn't hesitate as always to offer his plane and services to have a look at the situation.

An initial delay owing to a problem on the aircraft delayed us slightly, and the survey after consultation with Parks on what was required started on Thursday last week.

The first flight which extended as far South as Lupane covered the whole Ngamo Forestry Area and we found 3 carcasses in addition to the initial 5 that had been reported. The second flight covered the entire Sikumi Forestry Area and apart from an already known poaching incident near Ganda Lodge not involving poison no other carcasses were seen.

At the initial briefing with parks we had been asked to, after completing the Forestry Area to also check an area starting from a point referred to as Mabangee which neither Pat or myself had heard of this area situated on the Eastern Boundary of the Park north of Dete, and we were to then fly in a westerly direction as far down as Guvalala and Nehimba.

At a point midway between Boss Longone pan and Guvalala and some 2.7kms north off the main tar road to Sinamattella a further 8 carcasses were discovered which all had had the ivory removed.

These carcasses were fresh and were being eaten by Vultures, and it was later confirmed there were in fact 11 carcasses.

At the time of the sighting it could not be determined if these elephant had been shot or poisoned as there was no water in the area, it was later confirmed that they were poisoned presumably using salt.

Returning to Main camp, Parks were shown photo's given the coordinates, and all credit must be given to them for their prompt reaction and within an hour vehicles and men were being deployed to the spot, it was very encouraging to see such activity.

The follow up was successful and arrests have been made with ivory having also been recovered, unfortunately we have lost another 11 elephant.

What concerned us unlike the other carcasses found all on the boarder and peripheral areas of the Park these carcasses were as near to the centre of the Park as one can get, a very worrying situation.

In conclusion it was very encouraging to see how serious Parks and the new Minister of Environment, Saviour Kasukuwere were taking this whole issue. With the Minister insisting that after each flight, he was to be informed of exactly we had done and seen.

On returning to Byo we have again been contacted by Parks and asked if a further survey be done of the areas not covered, organising of this is presently taking place and you will be kept informed of any further details.

Regards,
Colin Gillies
