At 2pm on 29th January 2011.

To celebrate Stephen Michael Morgan



It is hard to know where to start,

The man, mentor, father and friend

Who brings such joy to my heart.

Your courage never left you

Always positive and driven

I wish I could give you a medal

For the inspiration that you've given

You taught me so much in life

To be honest and never to fear

To trust my instincts,always be tough

To steadfastly persevere.

My biggest fan, my very best friend

My lifeline when in need,

When Heaven gave out fathers,

I was truly blessed indeed

But Heaven now has called you back

Into its warm embrace

I have no doubt that as a result

Heaven's a much better place

Your strength and intelligence, courage and love

In my heart I'll always hold you dear

And whenever I need to draw upon them

I'll know that somewhere you're near.

So goodbye to my wonderful father.

The man, the mentor the best

I'll think of you fondly everyday

Enjoying your well-earned rest

All my love always,



Your friend and daughter -



Janine

In loving Memory of Sandra Elaine Nell who passed away peacefully on 24 Jan 2008 in Byo, Lovingly remembered by Kathy, Christine & Toby



If in one fleeting moment we could see you smile

We'd give up everything we have

So we could hold your hand for a while

We all love you so much

We miss you so badly

And we won't ever forget

The happy times that we shared

Remembering you is easy

We do it every day

Missing you is the hardest part

As it never goes away

To hear your voice.

To see your smile

To sit with you and talk for a while

Would be our greatest wish

Today, tomorrow, our whole life through

We shall always love and remember you.



In loving Memory of Sandra Elaine Nell, mother to Carl, Kim and granny to Michaela & Levi:

Softly within the shadows

God gave a gentle call

With farewells left unspoken

Mum, you silently left us all

Our hearts still ache with sadness and

Silent tears still flow

For what it means to love and miss you, Mum

LINDA SWEETLOVE

LINDA SWEETLOVE - well known hairdresser by many, passed away in Dandaro Clinic on the 25th January 2011 after a short & sudden illness - Memorial service to be held on Wednesday 2nd February at Fairways Chapel at 10am. Please bring a plate of eats as tea will be served. 

Be careful !

On Wednesday 12 January, my friends were in town with their 3 kids all under 12 years of age – parked near Coventry Road area, when they saw a hand come through the back window of their car, trying to grab on to the little girl who is 9 years old – their first thoughts were that he was just trying to grab something on the seat – they managed to hit him and he gave up and went away. Not knowing they were now being followed, they then carried onto Manica Freight – husband went in to sort papers for their new car that had just arrived, when the same back door was yanked open and this African man was shouting “come my boy, come my boy” and had grabbed hold of the same little girl and was trying to take her. There were 4 men and they were driving a black BMW. The mum managed to get out of her seat quickly and went round and started hitting the guy with the door. Who then luckily in the end gave up.

I don’t have the exact full details but managed to get the basics as they were too shaken up to speak about it fully over the phone on Wednesday afternoon and they live out of town– but I wanted to get an email out to everyone as soon as possible to just BE CAREFUL – TRAVEL WITH ALL YOUR DOORS LOCKED, IF YOU HAVE SEATBELTS IN THE BACK TRY & GET YOUR KIDS TO WEAR THEM, AND IF POSSIBLE TRY NOT TO LEAVE YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR ON THEIR OWN, AND KEEP YOUR KIDS IN SIGHT. Whether there is a Gang going around looking for kids to kidnap or they were just chancers we don’t know, but these guys were clearly VERY determined, since they tried to take the same little girl TWICE.

ANTI-HIJACK UPDATE FOR JANUARY 2011

As we start the new year 2011 … lets all make security, in both homes and business premises a priority – it’s so easy to be wise ‘after the event’ let’s try to get on top of crime in our beloved country. This includes the security for all motor vehicles and to be aware and alert at all times, and advise the public of what is going on in Zimbabwe, it helps to put the alert button ON.

The Trust would like to thank the Zimbabwe Insurance Council for their support in securing mobile phones without your help we are unable to get the latest news and incidents going on out there in the field. To Track It your ongoing support in getting the update out to the public is invaluable

We have some unscrupulous people posing as mechanics, spray painters etc offering to sort your car out at a very reasonable price until the final exorbitant bill arrives. They are gunning for the elderly and woman they feel may be a soft target – areas that have been reported as business areas are Borrowdale near the Post Office and Strathaven Shopping Centre …. It is often not wise to use back street businesses as there is no come back on quotes, the standard of repair work, and mostly you are left out of pocket and the business men are nowhere to be found. It is wise to use a firm that has a good reputation but may cost that little bit more or seem to be more but where the job is guaranteed. We are all looking to save and get the best deal for our money – but be warned of the con men out there!

We all need to take care and be more alert and aware of the rules of the road the driving seems to be deteriorating at an alarming rate on our roads and careless accidents occurring – road rage is the order of the day and let the best nerve win … come on, is a new year and let’s try and keep within the law and fatal accidents from happening – Drive with more care and attention please …. Yes! … and that means ALL of us!

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