Appeal

This shows what we are all trying to do to help those less fortunate

Brendan lives near our safari camp in the rural areas of Guruve – in November he fell into a pit fire – he has severe 3rd degree burns to his legs and feet. The burns will require at minimum skin grafts.
We have been assisting him at the local clinic with medications and burn creams/bandages etc which have kindly been donated by Australians.

He is in Harare currently and requires assessment by Doctors here – due to the nature of our business we are constantly on the move, rarely in Harare for more than 2 days in a row and can not help with this part of the program.

We are looking for someone who can assist with taking Brendan to Drs etc.

If you can assist please contact me via email or 091 2256434.

Thank you

Janine

Should we pay our bills?????

FYI - at a meeting yesterday John Robertson, the Economist, stated that the exhorbitant bills being sent out by utilities must not be paid- the budget does not balance and apparently it is an attempt to recoup losses incurred over many years, in one month!! You will be cut off but they will have no income and will be forced to take action. Also Biti still has to come out with a new budget so do not be "ripped off" in the meantime - just advise the authority that you are not able to pay owing to the cost.

NORMAN APPEL

We are so sorry to tell you all that our wonderful husband and dad, Norman, passed away late on Friday night.

We are planning a memorial to celebrate his life and love at the workshop, Old Mazoe Road, on Friday 20th starting around 3pm. We will have some tea and coffee available but please feel free to bring any other beverages you choose.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could also bring along your chairs, a plate of eats and a mug for the tea/coffee.

Hope to see you there.

Dee, Misty and Leigh Appel.

Watch out for a black Mercedes

A friend of mine has just informed me that her bag was stolen out of her locked car (the bag was under the driver's seat)while parked in the parking lot of the Hellenic School. two days later a suspicious black car was seen in the parking lot - when challenged by a teacher the occupants said they were waiting for a child - but the name they gave was obviously made up as there was no one in the school by the name they gave. They then said "This is Heritage School?", and then drove off. The Hellenic School is well marked and one could not make a mistake about this.

Luckily my friend got back her ID documents, her Zimbabwe money (ha ha) but not her USD!!!! They were left in a plastic bag outside a house in Strathaven.

I understand that there was another case around the same time where a woman running on the race course had her car windows smashed and her bag taken - a black car was seen leaving the site at great speed.

Hijackings and smash and grabs are happening during the day as well as at night and a new favourite place is Adylinn Road and Harare Drive.

Breakins are common.
Another friend had her domestic's quarters broken into. This happened while her domestic and his wife were asleep - they had been drugged and never woke up during the robbery - they were completely cleaned out of all their belongings.

MARTIN ROGER KAY

MARTIN ROGER KAY, beloved husband of Lynn, passed away suddenly after a short illness in Johannesburg on Friday 23rd January 2009.

Lynn can be contacted on 301332 or 0912-319002

WE WANT OUR INVOICES

Received this in my mail this morning - it relates to Bulawayo but the same thing goes for Harare - how can we pay bills when we don't get any form of statement showing what we have paid and been creidited with.

Last month our phone bill was oaid with one US dollar - and we had 15 billion credit - this month we have had to pay US Dollars 80 - actually 90 as it was cents of the 80 and they did not have change!

How can one actually justify this increase in costs?

Subject: WE WANT OUR INVOICES !!!!!! Please read if you agree.
Hi All,
One big Beef of mine is - When did you last receive an “ACTUAL REAL LIVE BILL“ in your post box or at your Home address? I gave up sometime ago, as it proved next to impossible, to get an actual bill printed & I also had to resort to phoning or getting a piece of “SCRAP” paper with what the balance owing was. How can you check to see if your last payment was even credited to your account or query “ESTIMATES?”
I feel it is time to make a “STAND” and it should start with IMMEDIATE EFFECT. Do not pay your bills until you receive an Invoice or Statement from the following :
ZESA – They should also read the Meters. No more estimates due to non-availability of fuel.
TELONE & All the rest
CITY OF BULAWAYO. Ditto above & can they collect our GARBAGE PLEASE. Cholera is around the corner, as well as other associated diseases.
The principle being that we are going to be charged in HARD CURRENCY, which not all of us have access to anyway. The days of BEING THREATENED with cut-offs etc. should & must be over. Surely they can now afford all the THINGS that they said they had no finance for, such as computer printing ribbons, paper, POSTAGE STAMPS to mail our Bills, & numerous other excuses for the non-delivery of “SERVICES”. Some of you have Businesses & NEED the invoice for purposes of VAT rebates from ZIMRA anyway.
The Governor of the Reserve Bank, by allowing the above parastatals to charge us in Forex, forgot to explain that they should now LIVE UP TO THEIR MISSION STATEMENTS.
Therefore, we should ALL demand & indeed, should be entitled to a FIRST WORLD SERVICE, since we are being charged in FIRST WORLD CURRENCY.
If you agree to the above, please forward to as many people as are on your MAILING LISTS.
WOZA, has done a wonderful Job WITH NOTHING, so please think what we might do by circulating this message NATION WIDE. It starts with a minute of your time, that’s all – think about it.
Please note that the contents of the message above are NOT necessarily the views of FALGOLD ZIMBABWE LTD. or its Directors, and are therefore, not liable and claim Indemnity from any legal action etc. The above are my own thoughts on the matter & I will accept all responsibility for having been the author. Should you wish to add your comments, before forwarding, please feel free to do so, the more the merrier.
LET US HAVE WILL & THE POWER TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON OUR CONVICTIONS AND ACT NOW. THE TIME FOR CHANGE & GETTING RIPPED OFF IS LONG OVERDUE.
