ANTI-HIJACK UPDATE FOR AUGUST 2014

ANTI-HIJACK UPDATE FOR AUGUST 2014

August see the beginning of Spring into Summer and we all begin to open up the windows and doors and let the lovely weather come pouring into our homes … as great as this all is, please keep the security of you property and family firmly in mind. Do NOT leave the property vulnerable and open wide to thieves.  Keep all grills firmly locked and in place on all outside doors etc and all windows barred. Our glorious weather can still come thru ….. In parts of the building not occupied it is advisable to keep windows closed and locked.  Be safe, be vigilant & alert and enjoy the coming good weather.  Keep gates locked even in daylight hours, as we all need the best security be it at home or in work place.

Two conmen that were working it seems throughout all major cities in Zimbabwe have been arrested and are in custody in Harare.  If these men ‘visited ‘you and you were a ‘victim’ and have not made a report, please contact the following:

Harare Residents Please contact Detective Inspector Nemesis 0772370557 / 0772758877 / 0734200941

Bulawayo Residents Please contact Detective Inspector SIWELA – 71568 / 77523 / 881466

Victoria Falls residents please Contact Detective Inspector Denude - 0712915341

Smash and Grabs are still happening, and its seems to be due to carelessness on the victims part of leaving valuable items in locked cars in public parking areas, this is often just an oversight which is very costly, stressful and may have been avoided Please leave all valuables, shopping etc …. in fact anything that would be visible in the boot.   Zimbabwe has a high unemployment rate and this is a big temptation.  When parking in any public area it is best to not have anything in view inside the vehicle, even with guarded parking, this is for your own safeguard.

Let’s start our summer season on a safe note ………….

Let’s ALL fight this crime together  - stay ALERT and SAFE !

Harare Water Supply

Municipal Reporter, The Herald

Source: http://www.herald.co.zw/water-supply-to-improve/

 

 

Harare City Council says residents should expect improvement in water supply at the end of the year when it adds 100 mega litres to the current 250 mega litres per day being produced. However, this would still be a far cry from the 1 200 mega litres required daily.

 

Speaking during a stakeholders workshop at Morton Jaffray in Harare yesterday, Harare Water director Eng Christopher Zvobgo, said when the infrastructure rehabilitation under the $144 million loan from China is complete, the city's water supplies would double.

 

"We are currently producing 250 mega litres against a design capacity of

704 mega litres. We are expecting to add 100 mega litres by December as we continue the rehabilitation exercise. Our target is to provide water seven days a week non stop to residents by 2020.

 

However, we will need additional water sources. We also expect to increase revenue by $7 million," he said.

 

Eng Zvobgo said even at full capacity, Morton Jaffray could not provide sufficient water as the demand was more than 1000 mega litres, adding that the capital's long-term water needs would be met through the construction of new water sources, with the Kunzvi, Musami and Muda dams being planned projects.

 

He said two new dams would have a design capacity of 750 mega litres a day and this would increase the current water treatment capacity to 1 450 mega litres a day.

 

"We also intend to construct two hydroelectric plants producing a total of 60 megawatts of energy and two new water plants to support the delivery of water to Harare, Chitungwiza and neighbouring municipalities," he said.

 

The city also intended to develop a new infrastructure management system to enhance the overall management of water services system and an effective revenue management system inclusive of smart meters to ensure the effective collection of revenues and the management of the water grid.

 

Eng Zvobgo said the total costs of implementing the Water Services Delivery Master Plan was estimated at $2,95 billion. The workshop was attended by residents associations, commuter omnibus associations, Consumer Council of Zimbabwe and other organisations.

 

Mozambique

Maputo (AFP) -

Mozambique's government and former rebel movement Renamo have signed a ceasefire ending two years of armed conflict, Renamo said on Sunday.

Chief negotiators from the government and Renamo signed the declaration late Sunday night in the capital Maputo ending a nearly year-long negotiation process. "A ceasefire has been signed," Renamo's chief negotiator at the peace talks with the government, Saimon Macuiane, told AFP adding that the "definitive agreement" was effective as of 10:00 pm (2000 GMT) Sunday.

Renamo forces have waged a low-level insurgency since party leader Afonso Dhlakama returned to the bush in 2012, two decades after he signed a peace accord with the ruling Frelimo party.

Men thought to be members of the former rebel movement have been attacking busses, trucks and cars on the main north-south highway since April last year. Government forces overran the Renamo base camp in the central Gorongosa district a few months later in August. The late night declaration came after the two sides reached a general peace agreement a week ago including consensus over the integration of Renamo's remaining armed forces into state security forces.

Renamo's leader, Dhlakama, who has been hiding in the remote Gorongosa mountains in central Sofala province for close to a year, did not travel to the capital to sign the ceasefire himself, despite previously promising he would do so once his party reached a final agreement with the government. "He mandated me to declare it," Macuiane said but suggested Dhlakama would meet Mozambique's President Armando Guebuza at a later date. "It is obvious that there will be a high level, symbolic meeting later on," he told AFP.

Under terms agreed with the government, Dhlakama expects to keep his personal "security guards" (numbering several hundred) until they can be integrated into state forces, a process that will be overseen by an international force. Similarly, Renamo only expects to hand over its remaining weapons after the integration process has begun. "We have begun a new era for the country," Macuiane said calling the ceasefire an "important step towards national reconciliation … and a durable peace".

Parliament is expected to begin working to create conditions as set out in the peace agreement in the coming week. Despite the ceasefire, Renamo and the government will continue negotiations as not all points have been settled including "economic questions" and the status of Renamo  appointees into security structures, Macuiane said.

The date set for presidential and national polls, October 15, remains unchanged, Macuiane indicated. "The election calendar continues as normal," he told AFP.

Doris Lessing Library

via Doris Lessing bequeathes her library to Zimbabwe | Book Aid International 22 August 2014

Original: http://www.bookaid.org/doris-lessing-bequeathes-her-library-to-zimbabwe/

 

Doris Lessing, the Nobel Prize-winning author, has donated her entire personal collection of over 3,000 books to the Harare City Library in Zimbabwe and her executors have asked Book Aid International to help.During her life, Lessing was a strong supporter of Book Aid International, so we are particularly glad to be able to help carry out her wishes.

 

Doris Lessing lived in Zimbabwe (which was then Southern Rhodesia) for 25 years, from 1924 to 1949. She returned in 1956, but was declared a prohibited migrant after speaking out about the Rhodesian regime. She was allowed back to into the country in 1982; and after 1988 she visited Zimbabwe and nurtured two initiatives by the Africa Book Development Organisation and the Africa Community Publishing and Development Trust to provide opportunities for reading and learning through libraries.

 

Our team, led by Gardner Thompson and volunteers from Lessing's publisher HarperCollins, spent a day this week carefully sorting and packing up Lessing's library in her former home in London. Vanessa Bloor from HarperCollins was fascinated by the variety and breadth of Lessing's library - "A collection to aspire to!" Felicity Highet was inspired to help Book Aid International as she was reading one of Lessing's books, The Golden Notebook, when the call went out for volunteers. Lettice Franklin works for Doris Lessing's editor, and helped to make arrangements for Lessing's memorial service, so she wanted to be there to help make these last arrangements for the author.

 

We found books not just in every room of Lessing's home, but on shelves in every space where shelves could be fitted, in hallways, under stairs - there were books everywhere. Lessing's collection consists of a wonderful variety of reference books, non-fiction and fiction, poetry, biographies and history books. These books will be deeply appreciated by the people of Zimbabwe, for whom books are a precious but rare resource.

 

Every year, Book Aid International sends over 50,000 books to Zimbabwe.

Libraries in Zimbabwe often have no budget for new books so in many libraries Book Aid International books comprise up to 80 per cent of their collection.

 

The arrival of the Doris Lessing's collection will be celebrated at a literacy festival in November 2014, with Lessing's family, friends and Zimbabwean writers.

And another 'yes' - she can still hold a decent conversation!! Ndeipi did a little article on her in December 2013 - I will see if I can forward it on to you and you can see some detail about her.  Kind regards, Sue. sueswan@mweb.co.zw

….............

Would just like to inform you that my dad, Jimmy (Wilfred) Taylor, is 101 years and God willing will be 102 in February 2015. Kind Regards Maggie Taylor lapham@cwg.co.zw

………….

It might interest you to know that Bill is an honorary member of my Rotary Club.  He joined the club a few weeks after the official charter and we celebrate our 50 years of service on October 22^nd this year!   He is truly an amazing human being and one in a million and we are so very blessed to know him and have him be part of our Rotary family.  The coffee shop at the Rotary Centre is named after him.

…………..

I would love to meet Bills close school friends who must all be of a similar age!!! All the very best to all of them

………….

Quite agree with what you say below – my fantastic old Great Aunt who lived to be over 90 always said you just “have to keep on galloping”  !!! Rgds kate

……………

Hi Mike, Just wanted to share with you.  While I was visiting someone on Saturday afternoon at BS Leon I came across three lovely young teenage ladies who had given up their time on a Saturday afternoon to visit with all the residents and bring them each a packet of biscuits  - it was a very nice treat for them all, and was very much appreciated.  I just wanted to say thank you to those three ladies, and may they be an example for the rest of the teenagers out there.  I am sure your parents are very proud. Debs

……………………………..

Just a brief note to say that yesterday Martin Hartell who is in charge of the pioneer cemeteries in Harare went to the site with me where I discovered the headstone of Sergeant Gudger on a property in Harare. He was seemingly killed in action in the 2nd world war. As it happens his body with a new headstone is lying peacefully in the pioneer cemetery here in Harare and as a result his name and rank number were chiselled off  from the old discovered stone in accordance to their rules and regulations. It was sad to see this happen but at least we know he is at peace and all has been finalized. Thank you to all the very kind folk from all over the world who showed their concern and interest in this regard. Kind regards Cher

………….

I really DO NOT understand people who have no idéa of the consequences of what they perceive to be kindness can do to this poor elephant, it equals out to eventually – one banana equals one bullet. Petra

………….

I think, in these instances when sending out a message like this, it should be pointed out that when an animal does respond to irresponsible behaviour and is deemed to be dangerous to the public, it is then more than likely going to be  shot. Regards

……………..

We had a chap going by the name of miles ring my gate bell at about 430 on boscobel east - gave me a story that he was from no 34 boscobel east from jimmy’s place and he was his driver and his truck was broken down on enterprise and could I phone him which he proceeded to give me his number which sure enough jimmy answered and asked if he could please speak to his driver as he was in Bulawayo  - thanks to previous emails from you of this sort of thing I told him I would get his driver to fix his phone and he could contact him direct - long story short - 34 on boscobel east does not exist and they were either after my phone or entry to our premesis but please just warm everyone to be vigilant and warn their domestics . On questioning my own domestic someone last month in our road had the same situation and their phone snatched and another across the road had a vehicle stolen. Thanks Jenny

…………..

I recently moved here from South Africa where crime is prevalent and I do know that even without breaking a window or damaging the doors these thieves are able to get in. 

They do it by jamming the signal of your car remote with a blue house gate remote which they control.  I tried it out and  it does work.  So I think everyone should ensure that before they walk away from their cars that they check that  the doors are locked. Regards Bianca

……………….

Please be alert n watch out at the Bishop Gaul n Princess Drive intersection at Belvedere Shops. Smash n grab thieves are active in the area. Lock all doors n be careful on the approach to the robots, they don't work most if the time. Regards L. B.

…….

Please could you let folks in Harare know that  there is small car(similar to a Conquest or Fiesta), black in colour with bright yellow and black Botswana number plates starting with a B and ending with a J (don’t  remember the numbers) with three or four accomplices attempted to carjack my Landcruiser yesterday (20^th Aug, Wednesday) at around midday. I was in the Graniteside area, Dhlela Way, and thanks to the public for helping us, but unfortunately these thieves got away. Try and be vigilant out there!  Thanks Mike, much appreciated  Kind Regards John

…………..

Read what the rats are doing at this orphanage – rats are smart:….” Hello Naeem , Please if at all possible would you be able to make it this afternoon to sort out the problem with the rats as they are now going in the children’s school bags and are being carried to school.   We also have a problem with cockroaches if this could also be sorted out. Many thanks Geraldine”

Statement on assault

STATEMENT FROM ALAN PASSAPORTIS REGARDING THE ASSAULT AGAINST HIS FAMILY AND THE SUBSEQUENT FALSEHOODS BEING DISSEMINATED BY SECTIONS OF THE MEDIA
I, Alan Passaportis comment as follows:-
My family and I are shocked and mortified by the brutal assault perpetrated against our son David and his wife, Mary-Anne Passaportis. It is indeed with great sadness that we have had to go through such a harrowing experience and we look to the Lord to comfort us through this distressing pe...riod.
I however wish to clear the air on a few issues and categorically state the following:

1. I wish it to be emphasised that at no point have we ever believed or insinuated that this attack was politically motivated and would like to denounce those who have tried to use our misfortune to their advantage and further their own selfish agendas.
2. I have not made any official statements before this and reports being published by some media houses referring to the events of that fateful night are full of speculation and mischievous to say the very least. Their so called sources are obviously very suspicious and not very well versed as to what happened or the position regarding our residency at the farm. The falsehoods being peddled are tantamount to incitement.
3. We have received nothing but immense support from the ZANU PF Mashonaland West Chairman, Cde. Temba Mliswa, his team, the Police and community at large.
4. We have over the years, enjoyed very cordial relations with the ruling Party and have never at any point been threatened off the farm by them.
5. We are confident that the law will take its course and that the perpetrators will be brought to book.
6. We would prefer to have our privacy respected for now and our main concern at the moment is that Dave and Mary-Anne stabilise and recover from the injuries they suffered and that we can somehow pick up the pieces and move on.
7. I would like to sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank all our family, friends, colleagues and everyone that has lent their hand to support, offered their prayers and words of encouragement, we are humbled. May God Bless you

News Update on Dave and Mary Anne -barbaric act !

News Update on Dave and Mary Anne -barbaric act !
Hi folks,
Yes the people in this vicious attack were perhaps trying to enact a lawless retribution -on Allan’s son and daughter-in-law.
They have been having problems for sometime now,while holding onto Allan’s farm in the Trelawny- NW of Hre area.
Recently David arrested poachers who had killed 2 giraffe, 2 eland,1 zebra and 6 impala and it is suspected that the attackers who arrived after midnight were exacting retribution f...or these arrests as well as possibly acting out orders on behalf of third Zanu Chef parties?
The first that David and his wife knew about the attack was when they were set upon with knobkerries whist asleep in their beds. David was so badly beaten that he has undergone surgery for 6.5 hours to his head as the left side of his face, plus his skull were savagely beaten in. He is being kept sedated whilst the neuro specialists try to reduce the balloon swelling of his head. He has suffered other damage to his arms and neck as well. He remains in St Anne’s, whilst his wife is in the Avenues where she is being treated for a broken arm and shattered fingers that required pins to be inserted. She is severely traumatised and will require special rehabilitation attention, once the physical damage is attended to. Allan and Jane are looking after their two daughters aged 2 and 4....who witnessed/ were present in the house during this attack. They are also traumatised and constantly fear the return of the ”BAD men who beat their Dad and Mummy”. I am told that the attack and beatings only broke off when their neighbour arrived and fired shots over the house....I have no detail of how he was alerted or knew of the incident but can only thank Almighty God that he pitched up when he did, as it probably saved David’s life and his wife from an even worse fate. She had been tied up with barbed wire.
The outpouring of messages of support and sympathy have been extraordinary....more so from members of the local Black community who held David and his family in high regard. Measures to ensure that those responsible are brought to book are underway...rest assured of this.
Sadly this is what happens when the rule of Law is allowed to be usurped by stoneage people, little more than moronic thugs. This is the price we pay for continuing to try live and work and uograde the land of our birth.
Kind regards

Bill Green is 100

I am sure you would all like to hear that Bill Green will celebrate his 102^nd Birthday this coming Thursday 21^st August, 2014! He started Blue Kerry many years ago and Jan and Jeff Dick are organising a small celebration for him and his close school friends!

 

They will also be renaming the cottages after him

 

Should anyone like to send messages of good wishes to this amazing man, on this momentous occasion , please send them via Jan Dick Email......scuffcc@gmail.com

Jan’s email to me read:

 

“It is such a privilege for us to have an amazing man of his age amongst us, don't you think?  He certainly is ...one in a million!.....an inspirational gentleman..

He loves receiving a copy of Ndeipi every month and enjoys having the articles read to him...sadly his eyesight is fading and he can't read small print any longer .”

 

Are there any other healthy folks out there that are nearing their 100^th birthday and can still hold a decent conversation? Why do some folks live to such an old age?

Hospice Bulawayo Aug 18 Dear friends of Hospice, Please take time to read our 2014 appeal. As a non-profit organization reliant on the generosity of corporates, public and service clubs our hospice has been hard hit by the financial crisis currently affecting the country. Donor support and fund raising projects have kept us afloat thus far but we currently only have sufficient reserves to meet one to two months expenditure. Cost cutting measures are still in force from last year. Our staff remains on reduced pay.

However our monthly expenditure is still in the region of US$8,500.00 per month. Our year on year monthly income and expenditure for 2013-2014 are available for perusal. Please email us should you require a copy. We have lined up a number of fundraising events for which we seek your support.

In September we will host our annual Ladies Tea, in October a Motor Show has been pencilled in, in November a Healthy food expo is planned as well as a Street Collection. We will also participate in the Whitestone School fete where we will have on sale a collection of valuable books and a small assortment of antiques. We will round off the year with our annual 'Light a Light for Hospice' carols by candlelight.
