Reports that an area in Hwange had been illegally occupied first surfaced in March, along with the suggestion that the claimant, Elisabeth Pasalk, could introduce hunting in the area because of her links to a hunting safari operator. When contacted by Tourism Update, Pasalk insisted that hunting was not permitted in the area. 'We are a photographic safari operator and our entire team is highly committed to safeguarding the wildlife in our area, including the Presidential Elephants,' she said. According to Pasalk, Gwango Elephant Lodge is being legally established in Hwange. She says the lodge is on State land that was allocated to her mother by the Zimbabwean government a few years ago. When asked for proof of ownership, Pasalk sent a letter signed by Hwange Rural District Council CEO Phindile Ncube. The letter states that Gwango Elephant Lodge is a registered company and the leaseholder of subdivision 2 of Sikumi Stateland, the area in question. However, Pasalk was unable to provide copies of title deeds or a lease agreement for the land. She also denied reports that access to the area in question had been blocked but said that traffic had been limited for the benefit of the wildlife. 'Clients on game drives from our neighbours at Sable Sands, and several legitimate researchers are permitted to drive on our property,' says Pasalk. Sharon Stead, Director of The Amalinda Collection and owner of Ivory Lodge in Hwange, says the lodge has been taking guests on to the property in question for the last 12 years, but has since been denied access. According to her, the land is leased by African Sun Hotels and it has been appropriated illegally. Stead says that while Pasalk is not currently allowing hunting on the property, she is concerned that hunting could take place in the area because Pasalk's brother owns a concession in Matetsi, where hunting is permitted. Stead suggested that quotas issued for Matetsi could be moved to this area in Hwange. According to Stead, while transferring quotas is technically illegal, it is not unheard of. For example, she says, a concession may have a quota to hunt five elephant a year, but the hunt will sometimes take place in another area if the hunter does not find an elephant to hunt in the concession. Stead says the US Fish and Wildlife Service suspended imports of sport-hunted African elephant trophies partly because of this practice. Sharon Pincott, who headed up the Presidential Elephant Conservation Project, has raised the same concern. Pincott told Tourism Update there was concern that Pasalk could try to hunt in the area 'underhandedly'. Pasalk has rejected this suggestion too. She says that while her brother owns a hunting concession, he has absolutely no involvement with Gwango. 'It is not possible to transfer hunting quotas from my brother's concession or from any concession to our area,' says Pasalk. Pincott has since announced that she is leaving the area after spending the past 13 years studying the Presidential Herd. 'I cannot allow myself to be linked to such new depths of collusion and cluelessness,' she said in a public letter announcing her withdrawal. According to Pincott, Pasalk was damaging her ability to continue with elephant conservation work in the area. One conservationist, who chose to remain anonymous, said he did not accept Pasalk's claim. 'I personally have no doubt that there is political influence from high places involved in this latest 'take over'.' He also suggested that Pasalk had blocked access to the area. 'The most concerning thing is the future of the Presidential Herd,' he said. An enquiry sent to the Ministry of Lands regarding the ownership and leasing of the land had not been responded to at the time of publication.

Its blend of romance, the supernatural and grand spectacle was perfectly judged to meet the tastes of the French public and it made Meyerbeer the star composer of grand opera. Laurent Pelly's new staging draws on the art and architecture of the Middle Ages to recreate a world of carousing knights, jousting tournaments, courtly dances and supernatural visions. The action is propelled by a battle between good and evil, as Robert's genuine love for Isabelle, expressed in tender duets, is threatened by the malevolent influence of the deceptively charming Bertram. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval: $10.00 YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE Thursday 8 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. 'You Only Live Twice' is the fifth film in the James Bond series with a screenplay written by Roald Dahl. Bond heads East to save the world (and to learn how to serve saki properly) after American and Soviet manned spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit during the Cold War. With each nation blaming the other, Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island in order to find the perpetrators... IGN ranked 'You Only Live Twice' as the fourth best Bond movie. Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] VERDI: OTELLO Friday 9 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Franco Zeffirelli and Placido Domingo unite their talents in this lavish production of Verdi's opera based on Shakespeare's play depicting the devastating effects of jealousy. "So seldom does everything come together so perfectly. Verdi's masterpiece. Zeffirelli's genius. Domingo's voice and those of a superb cast... Sublime pleasure. Powerful. Wonderful. Awesome. Magnificent. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval: $10.00 +++++++++ TREASURE PLEASURES Supporting Pensioners in stress.

May God Bless you All. ++++++ 6) PETS Here's hoping that you all had a good long weekend over Easter! It's been very quiet down at the kennels over this period and not too much out of the usual has been happening.. We have had lots of sick animals coming in, and many surrendered when the owners are told they will have to pay for treatment. And we have many cases where the animal has been left to suffer for days (sometimes weeks!) before the owners decide to bring them to us, and they don't understand why we can't help the animal anymore as it's too far gone. Please make sure to bring your dog or cat to us soon if you think it's unwell. At the moment we have 5 ex SPCA dogs in the kennels - the owners either having left and surrendered them or dumped them and we have found them again. Re homing has been a little bit better this month - thanks so much to people who really care, you're wonderful! Sadly we are seeing more and more posters up in shops/shopping centres advertising puppies for sale. It's so awful that people don't care enough about animals to stop breeding because there are already too many homeless pets. And so we end up with our kennels filling up with the unwanted ones Please keep educating those around you - SPAY, NEUTER & ADOPT! Dumi has been capturing stray pigs and dogs in Nkayi, which has been quite a mission but we are getting on top of it. The owners of the stray animals will have to claim their animals within 10 days. We are trying to set up a Mobile Clinic so that we can reach further afield and treat and sterilise more animals. If you, your company or your family & friends from around the world would like to donate to this fund please contact Fiona Burns on 0779544204. Just imagine how great it would be if we can get this set up!! Our borehole packed up on Sunday so we are having quite a horrid time trying to keep everywhere clean using the municipal water. Thankfully Shane has been sorting out our borehole and it should be working again soon! And out flat renovations have almost been completed and as soon as they are it will be up for rent which is really great.. Scruffs Dog Show is next month so it's all systems go to organise a great day for everyone..

Being a third world country dogs and cats are not treated as pets are in the first world. We have a huge task ahead to get sterilization under control and reduce the breeding that is happening, hence homeless dogs which more often than not when admitted get put to sleep. My dream this year is to fund a mobile clinic to get out to the outer suburbs and rural areas to treat, vaccinate and sterilize animals as well as educate people on how to look after them. Please forward this to everyone you know who can help donate towards this it will make a huge difference to the animals here in Zimbabwe. S P C A Bulawayo Spca is in need of a Mobile Clinic - to reach out to the outer suburbs and rural areas and treat, vaccinate and sterilize dogs and cats. Between January and March 2014, 320 dogs were admitted to the Kennels and 279 were put to sleep. Only 18 were lucky enough to receive new homes. In the same period 46 cats were admitted and 45 were put to sleep. Only 5 cats got new homes in this period. It is heartbreaking. If you go online under www.indiegogo.com, click on the search key and look under Spca Mobile Clinic, you can use a credit card and donate to the SPCA Mobile Clinic. If you do not have a credit card you can email me on burns@yoafrica.com for Zimbabwe bank details for the Spca account. Every donation stands a chance to win a 10 day Safari for two people in Zimbabwe, very kindly donated by Wild Horizons, Imvelo Safaris, Nehimba Safaris and The Amalinda Collection as well as a night at Banff Lodge in Bulawayo. This is an amazing prize to win. Any money raised over the costs of funding the Mobile Clinic will be put to a Sterilization programme to try and get the over breeding, hence homeless dogs that more than likely get put to sleep, under control. On behalf of the Spca, I thank you so very much for supporting this amazing charity and all their hard working staff in helping our animals of Bulawayo. Fiona Burns +++++ SOCCER FOR CHRIST SEEKING DONATIONS Soccer for Christ an interdenominational evangelism and church planting project based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, is seeking donations of new/used soccer kits, soccer boots and soccer balls to use for the Soccer Outreach Programme. We are committed to reaching rural communities in Zimbabwe with the Word of God and especially targeting men and boys. This we do working together with local partner churches. In May and June we intend taking the programme to Filabusi, Nkayi and Lupane and are expecting to reach a total of about 300 men and boys with the Gospel of Christ. We are also keen in distributing Ndebele Bibles to these communities. We use soccer because that is the sport that easily bring men and boys together in communities instead of traditional methods of evangelism. Your donation will be very valuable in assisting us spread the Good News of the Gospel of Christ.
