Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Gideon Gono has urged the
Harare cabinet
to halt a new wave of farm invasions targeting agricultural
properties on
the peripheries of the main cities where growers of flowers
for export
markets tend to be clustered.
Government sources said Gono
may be heading for a showdown with cabinet
members led by State Security
Minister Didymus Mutasa, said to be directing
this new stage of the land
redistribution program pursued since the
beginning of the decade.
The
latest invasion was carried out by members of the national police force
at
Gletwyn Farm, located between the towns of Mandara and Glen Lorne. The
farm
produced seed maize, potatoes, soy beans and a range of fresh
vegetables.
One police source, speaking on condition of anonymity,
said the farm was
seized for the construction of residences for top police
officials. The
assistance commissioner said the seizure of the farm, not
listed for
takeover, received Mutasa's approval.
Such agricultural
property invasions have drawn sharp criticism from the
International
Monetary Fund, whose latest delegation is expected in Harare
later this
month.
Reporter Blessing Zulu of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe asked Harare
economist
John Robertson what impact the invasions might have on Harare's
relations
with the IMF.
Elsewhere in the agro-alimentary complex, a
longstanding shortage of the
staple maize could worsen in some areas
following the Grain Marketing Board's
decision to refuse to sell raw grain
to some private millers. This flouted a
November high court order telling
the GMB to sell maize to the Mwendas
Milling Company, whose lawyers said
they have asked that the GMB be declared
in contempt of
court.
Industry sources said other companies have stopped milling because
the GMB,
which has an effective monopoly on grain supplies, refuses to sell
grain to
them.
GMB Chief Executive Officer Samuel Muvuti denied these
allegations in an
interview with Studio 7 reporter Carole Gombakomba. She
also spoke with
Mwendas Milling Company Managing Director Takesure Mbano,
who said he has
been obliged to temporarily abandon his home because of
constant harassment
by soldiers.

Zimbabwe's government is now facing another problem: huge
desertions of
junior and middle-ranking army and police officers. During the
past 12
weeks, more than 2,000 junior officers have submitted their letters
of
resignation from the National Army. Likewise, more than 700 junior
officers
have reportedly handed in their letters of resignation from the
police.
Runaway inflation of 585 percent has severely eroded the buying
power of
many Zimbabweans -- including poorly paid junior police and army
officers.
Political analyst Masamvu Sydney of the International Crisis
Group's
Southern Africa Regional Office told English to Africa reporter
Ashenafi
Abedje, "The desertions pose a major security threat to President
Robert
Mugabe's government." He says the mass desertions encourage "further
disaffection and threaten the army's stability." Mr. Sydney adds that aside
from the economic issue, political disgruntlement may be a factor behind the
desertions.
The Zimbabwean affairs specialist says some of the
deserting officers are
turning to crime for survival. He says the officers
now engage in what he
calls "coordinated crimes and extortion - which are
becoming an increasing
threat to the public." Mr. Sydney says President
Mugabe is trying to stem
the tide by ordering "a review of the military's
pay and salary structure."
The objective, he says, is to create preferential
treatment to ensure the
military's continued support.

The
International Monetary Fund (IMF) board has approved that
Harare be
investigated to ascertain the source of the US$155 million that
government
used to service its arrears last year amid reports that President
Mugabe's
bankrupt administration raided private accounts to raise the
desperately
needed foreign cash that averted Harare's expulsion from the
fund.
Zimdaily heard that Finance minister Hebert Murerwa
and the
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe chief Gideon Gono are set to be hauled
before an
IMF hearing to present oral evidence on the source of the funds.
Zimbabwe
last year made a hasty US$120 million payment followed by another
US$35
million to the IMF to avoid imminent expulsion after defaulting on its
loan
for the past five years. Self exiled businessman Mutumwa Mawere, whose
company SMM was taken over by government, complained to the IMF that some of
the money used to pay part of the debt was taken from his
companies.
But Gono hastily quashed the claims of forcible
liquidation of
individual foreign currency accounts saying government raised
the money from
exports and gold proceeds. He published a list of banks and
other sources of
the money. Sources said the investigation team would try to
verify Mawere's
claims and those of other individuals who claim to have been
prejudiced by
government. In addition to government and the central bank,
the
investigation team is expected to meet corresponding banks of foreign
financial institutions which Gono claimed released export funds he used to
pay part of the debt.
But IMF Africa Department Deputy
Director Siddharth Tiwari in a
statement said the board ordered the
investigation to ascertain if Harare
had not raised the cash through
unorthodox means. He said there was
reasonable grounds to suspect that there
were some irregularities as Harare
at the time was not able to "provide its
population with food and medicine."
Tiwari said Harare officials will be
called upon answer IMF questions in a
"transparent and open
manner."
Zimdaily heard the IMF team set to visit Zimbabwe
next week for
Article IV consultations will meet businesspeople, industry
and other
economic groups as part of the inquiry. An IMF official recently
said the
fund expected the Zimbabwe authorities to come clean on allegations
of
expropriating funds. "The board has, of course, asked us when we get back
to
them next time to verify the source of funds. Money is fungible," Tiwari
said. "It is something we need to talk to the authorities about. Also, it is
something the authorities need to address themselves in a transparent and
open manner, and I hope they will do so soon."

Every day, taxis
and minibuses cross the border between South Africa
and Zimbabwe laden with
goods that the inhabitants of President Robert
Mugabe's miserable domain can
no longer afford.
Maize meal, cooking oil, bread and milk are all
carried northwards,
across the border at Beitbridge. This is Zimbabwe's
lifeline and neither the
World Food Programme nor other international aid
agencies has anything to do
with it. Instead, these shipments of desperately
needed supplies are
organised by the hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans
who live in South
Africa.
Johannesburg is filled with refugees
from Mugabe's misrule, many of
them holding down low-wage jobs as waiters,
security guards, cleaners and
gardeners. Most of their meagre earnings go on
sending food supplies for
relatives up north.
There are, of
course, no available figures, but I would guess that
this privately
organised aid programme delivers at least as much food as the
WFP and all
the official aid agencies. And the supplies donated in this way
go straight
into the hands of those who need them, instead of heading
through the
corrupt, official channels established by the regime.
If you ever
wonder how Zimbabwe survives despite an economic collapse
almost unknown in
peacetime history, this is the answer. The generosity of
the diaspora,
particularly those Zimbabweans living in South Africa, is what
keeps the
home country afloat.
Thanks to Comrade Mugabe, whose "wise
leadership" the official press
invites Zimbabweans to praise every day,
their country has been reduced to
permanent dependence on the goodwill of
those lucky enough to have escaped.
Thankfully, Africans are so
generous that this flow of charity,
organised by those who have so little
themselves, will never dry up. The
fact that Mugabe has made it necessary is
perhaps the greatest of his many
crimes.
Comments
Well
said, David! Sadly, the greatest villain after Mugabe is Thabo
Mbeki. He
refuses to condemn ZANU-PF or Mugabe because he fears being
labelled a
"sell-out"! Racism is alive and well in Africa! Unfortunately, it
is almost
exclusively black against black racism!

Media and Information Commission chairman Tafataona
Mahoso has
threatened the Financial Gazette after the paper refused to
retract a story
alleging the involvement of the notorious CIO in the
operations of the
regulatory body. Zimdaily heard that Mahoso summoned
FinGaz editor-in-chief
Sunsleey Chamunorwa and his deputy Hama Saburi to
express reservations with
the paper's reportage and its refusal to retract a
story stating that the
CIO overturned a decision by the state-controlled
media commission to allow
The Daily News to publish
again.
The paper quoted an affidavit by Jonathan Maphenduka,
a former
member of the Media and Information Commission (MIC), where he
stated that
the members agreed June 16 there was no legal reason to deny a
licence to
Associated Newspapers of Zimbabwe, publishers of the banned Daily
News,
which was the country's top-selling daily. Maphenduka said Mahoso
stalled
over publicising the decision and it was later reversed. The
Financial
Gazette, quoting impeccable sources, said the ban was maintained
at the
instigation of the CIO (which has since taken control of the
previously
independent Daily Mirror).
The FinGaz further
stated that if these claims were established
as fact, it will also establish
beyond reasonable doubt that the MIC and its
chairman are mere biased
appendages of government under state security
control whose purpose is to
gag the independent media, and particularly The
Daily News. Mahoso is said
to have taken great exception to the FinGaz's
report which stated that the
MIC and the Access to Information and
Protection of Privacy Act that created
it are clearly the instruments of a
police state, put in place to silence
all democratic expression.
It was not possible to obtain
comment from Chamunorwa and Saburi
but sources at the paper said the two
were taking the threat seriously.
Mahoso is also said to have expressed
reservations with the paper's stance
of investigating the graft deeply
entrenched in Solomon Mujuru's companies.
Mahoso was also said to have
accused the paper of being sympathetic to
Emmerson Mnangagwa.

A Harare High Court judge has
dismissed a freedom plea by three
top Zanu PF officials jailed last year on
charges of selling State Secrets.
Zimbabwe Ambassador designate to
Mozambique Godfrey Dzvairo, Metropolitan
Bank Company Secretary Tendai
Matambanadzo and Zanu-PF Deputy Director for
External Affairs Itai Marchi
brought a bail application pending appeal
before the High Court pleading
against both their conviction and sentence.
The trio, jailed
for a maximum of six years for violating the
Official Secrets Act, asked the
High Court to try them again alleging that
they they were not accorded a
fair hearing. But High Court judge Pharat
Patel dismissed the plea saying
there was a high possibility that they might
abscond whilst on bail since
they had links to foreign agents and
convertible huge amounts of foreign
currency.
He said considering the foreign links the three
have, there was
a likelihood that they could abuse the opportunity and flee.
Justice Patel
added that the sentence of six years imposed on Godfrey
Dzvairo is proper
and does not induce a sense of shock or can not be said to
be excessive. The
three Zanu PF officials were arrested in 2004 following a
CIO swoop on a
suspected South African intelligence network in
Zimbabwe.
The trio were arrested together with Zanu (PF)
deputy security
chief Kenny Karidza and former Zanu (PF) MP Phillip
Chiyangwa. A CIO
officer, Elisha Muyemeki, now dead, was also arrested at
the same time for
failing to report to his bosses a secret meeting he had
with a South African
spy who botched a plot to recruit him. A
Switzerland-based Zimbabwean
diplomat, Erasmus Moyo, was said to have
escaped arrest by disappearing at
Geneva airport last year. Dzvairo, also
Zimbabwe's former consul-general to
SA, was sentenced to six
years, while Matambanadzo and Marchi were jailed for five years
each.
Chiyangwa was released by the high court, but the state said it had
not
dropped the case. Karidza is still on trial.

Newly founded pressure group, Ibetshu lika zulu launched
a
series of weekly demonstrations in Bulawayo on Monday. The group staged
peaceful protests at Tredgold Courts as well as in Makokoba, Bulawayo's
oldest suburb. No arrests were recorded.
The youthful
group's director Qhubekani Dube hinted that the
demonstrations 'against
Mugabe's misrule will be a permanent feature' until
change is realised in
Zimbabwe. Dube added that if the peaceful marches fail
to deliver, they will
opt to the more confrontational means.
" This will be done
every week to put pressure on the regime",
said Dube. Ibetshu lika zulu was
recently formed by unemployed youths who
are determined to add pressure on
the once popular Mugabe. With pressure
groups like Imbovane yamahlabezulu
emerging from Bulawayo, the new fearless
Ibetshu lika zulu founded in
Bulawayo again speaks volumes of the second
capital city's revolutionary
tendencies.
People's Daily
After five years of poor harvests,
Zimbabwe's farmers are in no mood
to tolerate a nationwide armyworm invasion
and believe that the pests have
little chance to destroy a prospected
harvest brought about by the favorable
rainfall.
After being
disappointed year after year by inconsistent rains,
agricultural bodies,
communal and commercial farmers are determined to
ensure that the prospects
of a bumper harvest are not affected by the
multitudinous
caterpillars.
Armyworms are the larva stage of a moth very common
in southern
African region. They can cross national boundaries within a
short time,
driven by Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone winds, making it
difficult to
track their routes.
The moth follows humid areas
and lay eggs at a very fast rate,
producing thousands of caterpillars with
big appetites, able to feed at
night, and extensively feeding on crops and
green pastures, favoring crops
like maize and sorghum with a feeding speed
by far outpace that of a 400
herd of cattle per hectare
overnight.
Agricultural experts say the outbreak is the second
largest recorded
in the country in the past 20 years. Shadreck Mlambo,
director of the
Agriculture, Research and Extension Services (ARES) said
nature would assist
in the fight, as the fragile worms would be killed by
the heavy rains. In
addition, he said, chemicals to kill the worms, which
were in short supply
when the outbreak was first detected, were now
available from suppliers of
agricultural products.
Farmers were
near panic when they could not access chemicals to fight
the pests when it
first surfaced about two weeks ago. In Zimbabwe, armyworms
are commonly
controlled by a chemical called carbaryl 85 WP. Nonetheless,
chemical
control of armyworm epidemics could be costly to the environment as
it
poisons grazing pasture and water resources. Chemicals can also be fatal
to
birds that feed on the worms.
ARES however mobilized spraying teams
and progress has been made in
arresting the outbreak as the availability of
chemicals has improved.
The voracious caterpillars were witnessed
on a large scale for the
first time during the 1980 to 1981 rain season and
destroyed vast tracts of
a flourishing maize crop in parts of Mutoko in
Mashonaland Central and
Rushinga and Mt. Darwin in Mashonaland East For
Mutoko, it is a repeat
infestation after another outbreak in December last
year.
Zimbabwe Farmers Union director, Dzarira Kwenda, said in
addition to
chemicals, armyworms can be controlled traditionally by clearing
the land
near fields, as in most instances the pests creep into the fields
from
nearby bushes.
He however said the worms would not cause
any major reduction in crop
harvests but would certainly affect some farmers
across the country.
Wet and warm conditions had always encouraged
breeding among pests,
hence the large number of armyworms this year, Kwenda
said. He said the
worms would also be reduced through natural selection as
birds feasted on
them.

A
ZIMBABWEAN High Court judge who has fled the country before sentencing
after
he was convicted of graft charges told a journalist in December last
year
that he expected to be convicted, and claimed Justice Minister Patrick
Chinamasa was out to get him.
Justice Benjamin Paradza faced up to
three years in jail but escaped before
sentencing on Friday last
week.
Justice Paradza, who is thought to have escaped Zimbabwe for the
United
Kingdom via South Africa, claimed he had refused to pass a favourable
judgement after being prodded by Chinamasa, sparking a bitter feud which
resulted in corruption charges.
Repeated attempts to get a reaction
from Chinamasa failed last night as his
mobile phone was switched
off.
Paradza told this reporter that he expected to be convicted, and
probably
sentenced to "a year or two", and vowed to SERVE HIS SENTENCE
before
retiring to his rural home to engage in farming.
He said: "I
was in the bush for many years (during Zimbabwe's war of
independence) where
conditions were tough and lice feasted on me. If they
convict me, I know
that I never committed anything wrong. I would serve my
sentence maybe a
year or two and then I will head to my rural area and
farm."
Paradza
claimed that the government approached him as a former war veteran
to
influence a certain case in its favour, but when he refused -- Chinamasa,
in
panic over the possibility of being framed, went on a campaign to find
anything that may be used against the judge.
The judge claimed the
government had compromised the judiciary through
partisan appointments to
the bench it thought would hand down judgments
towing its line.
In
the plot against him, Justice Paradza claimed, Chinamasa had enlisted the
services of Justice George Chiweshe, who is also the chairman of the
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) and Justice Mafios Cheda.
"The
government thought that as a former freedom fighter, I was a compliant
judge
who would pass a favourable judgment in its favour and when I refused,
the
persecution started. This was not the first time that Chinamasa had
approached a judge. He has a tendency of calling judges on any matter he
wants on their mobile phones," he said.
Paradza claimed Chinamasa was
a "criminal" who should be arrested, adding
that he had been improperly
cleared on a contempt of court charge in which
he was sentenced to an
effective three month jail term after he failed to
appear in
court.
"When Chinamasa was convicted of contempt of court by the High
Court, the
conviction was set aside by another High Court judge, which was
improper. He
was supposed to appeal to the Supreme Court, which had directed
that the
Supreme Court judge be heard. As it stands, the squashing of the
jail term
was not properly done and should be allowed to stand," he
said.
Chinamasa was convicted by Justice Fergus Blackie for critisicing a
six-month judgment imposed on three Americans convicted of possession of
firearms as "an insult to all right thinking people".
In the
conversation with this journalist, Paradza he also maintained his
innocence
saying he had a sense of justice which had seen him going into law
as
opposed to politics as his colleagues had done after fighting in the
country's liberation struggle.
"During the war, I was in charge of a
battalion where I knew that poor
judgment would result in the deaths of so
many men and woman under me. I
took the need of making sound judgments to
court; I do not like injustice or
lies. I could have been a minister but I
left politics in 1980 and went into
law because I believed in justice and
that politics is a dirty game," he
said.
The judge also criticised
Zanu PF which he claimed was out to crush dissent
to protect President
Robert Mugabe's government.
"I was trained as a political commissar
during the war, a real political
commissar not what Elliot Manyika (Zanu
PF's national political commissar)
is doing. During training we were almost
20 and less than five are alive.
The other one Maodza is now at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, the other
one is in Gweru. There are some things we were
taught such as not using
force to coerce people to believe in your cause.
You have to persuade them,"
he added.
On Tuesday, a police spokesman
in Zimbabwe said they had engaged Interpol to
try and trace the judge and
asked Zimbabweans to report any citing of the
judge.
Justice Paradza
was arrested in 2003 over allegations that he tried to
corruptly influence
two fellow judges to release the confiscated passport of
his business
partner who wanted to travel to neighbouring South Africa.
Paradza's
lawyers argued during trial that the charges were designed to
punish him for
embarrassing the government of President Robert Mugabe in
2003 when he freed
an opposition mayor who had been arrested for holding an
illegal political
meeting. The government denies the corruption case against
Paradza was
politically motivated.

The Zimbabwean government is reportedly conducting a
review of the
controversial Access to Information and Protection of Privacy
Act (AIPPA),
following a hard-hitting report by the African Union's human
rights watchdog
that criticised the law for suppressing freedom of
expression, reports the
Media Institute of Southern Africa
(MISA).
The Attorney General's office in Zimbabwe has notified the
African
Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) that the Minister of
Information and Publicity, Dr Tichaona Jokonya, is reviewing the entire
contents of the AIPPA with a view to removing offending provisions in the
Act.
The ACHPR, which is the AU's human rights body, expressed
concern in a
recent report about the "continuing violations and the
deterioration of the
human rights situation in Zimbabwe, the lack of respect
for the rule of law
and the growing culture of impunity."
According
to the "Guardian", the report found that President Robert Mugabe
violated
the AU's human rights charter, to which Zimbabwe is a signatory. It
also
called for the repeal of several restrictive laws and for an AU
fact-finding
mission to the country.
The report will be discussed by African heads of
state at the AU's annual
meeting, which runs from 16 to 24 January 2006 in
Khartoum, Sudan. If
adopted, it would put significant pressure on Zimbabwe
to improve its human
rights record.
The ACHPR has also urged the
government to amend or repeal Constitutional
Amendment No. 17 which empowers
the government to withdraw the passports of
citizens who undermine "national
interests" during their visits abroad,
notes MISA.
And it has agreed
to consider a complaint lodged by the publishers of the
"Daily News" that
challenges a 2003 ruling by Zimbabwe's Supreme Court. The
court ruled that
Associated Newspapers violated the AIPPA.
MISA's Zimbabwe chapter has
actively campaigned against the AIPPA, including
presenting a paper at the
ACHPR's November 2005 meeting that outlined its
concerns about the Act's
repressive provisions.

Africa is gripped by drought while the south is blessed with rain. But
as
aid agencies scramble to feed millions across the continent, it is by no
means clear what this year's harvests will bring, even in areas that have
been wet.
Good rains have been reported so far this season over much
of Zambia, Malawi
and Zimbabwe.
But with about 12-million people in
the region in need of food aid until the
April harvest, aid workers warily
recall that drought only started searing
the region at this time last
year.
"It's too early to tell if there will be any impact from these
rains on the
2006 crop in southern Africa," says Mike Huggins, a spokesman
for the World
Food Programme (WFP).
"Last year in countries like
Malawi the drought struck in the later half of
January and February, so
everything that had grown up to that point
shrivelled."
There are
also reports that pests such as army worms are devouring crops in
Zimbabwe
and Malawi.
"Of an estimated 1-million hectares of maize planted in
Malawi, it looks
like army worms have affected about 20000ha," says one aid
worker.
Regional breadbasket SA has seen good rain over much of its maize
belt this
month, though for some farmers it may be too late after a dry
start to the
season.
WFP has indicated that it plans to source about
$80m in food supplies,
mostly maize, from SA this year.
Farmers were
expected to have planted 1,61-million hectares of maize when SA's
crop
estimates committee releases its preliminary estimate tomorrow,
according to
a forecast of eight banks and trading houses.
This was far less than the
2,93-million hectares sown last year but more
than enough for local needs if
last year's surplus of about 2,6-million tons
of white maize was factored
in.
The east African countries of Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia,
Eritrea, Tanzania
and Burundi face a worsening drought in what aid agencies
say could be "a
humanitarian catastrophe".
WFP says 5,4-million
people need food aid in the region.
Analysts say the drought has not
badly affected cash crops in the region but
warn that if rains continue to
fail, production of coffee and tea could be
hurt.
"Temperatures
globally are rising and drought cycles are more frequent,"
says Prof Levi
Akundabweni, dean of the faculty of agriculture at the
University of Nairobi
in Kenya.
"The environment is challenging us to devise coping mechanisms,
to learn
more so as to be able to understand the enormity of the
problem."
The effect has been worst in Kenya, east Africa's biggest
economy, where
dozens of people and livestock have died while malnutrition
has worsened
among pastoral communities.
"The emergency we face in
the Horn of Africa today is the result of
successive seasons of failed
rains," says Holdbrook Arthur, WFP's regional
director for eastern and
central Africa.
"Consequently, pastoralists living in these arid, remote
lands have very few
survival strategies left and desperately require our
assistance until the
next rains."
Anarchic Somalia is headed for the
worst cereal harvest in a decade, the WFP
says.
Ethiopia has
1,75-million people in need of emergency food aid, adding to
5,5-million
already getting food shipments.
In west Africa, the WFP says it needs
$240m to feed at least 10-million
people this year. In Niger, a food crisis
is affecting more than 3-million
people.

Dear JAG,
Save a life - How to recognise a Stroke
I
think this is so important for us all to read.
During a BBQ a friend
stumbled and took a little fall - she assured
everyone that she was fine
(they offered to call paramedics) and just
tripped over a brick because of
her 'new shoes' They got her cleaned up and
got her a new plate of food -
while she appeared a bit shaken up, she went
about enjoying herself the rest
of the evening. Her husband called later
telling everyone that his wife had
been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm,
she passed away.) She had suffered a
stroke at the BBQ - had they known how
to identify the signs of a stroke
perhaps she would be with us today.
It only takes a minute to read this-
PLEASE READ THIS.....
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke
victim within 3 hours he
can totally reverse the effects of a
stroke...totally. He said the trick
was getting a stroke recognised,
diagnosed and getting to the patient
within 3 hours, which is
tough.
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and
Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately the
lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may
suffer brain
damage when people nearby fail to recognise the symptoms of a
stroke. Now
doctors say a bystander can recognise a stroke by asking three
simple
questions:
1.Ask the individual to SMILE.
2.Ask him or her
to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
3.Ask the person to REPEAT A SIMPLE SENTENCE coherently
like "Is it sunny
out today?"
If he or she has trouble with any of
these tasks, call 9-9-9 immediately
and describe the symptoms.
After
discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify
facial
weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the
general
public to learn the three questions. They presented their
conclusions at the
American Stroke Association's annual meeting last
February. Widespread use of
this test could result in prompt diagnosis and
treatment of the stroke and
prevent brain damage. A cardiologist says if
everyone who gets this e-mail
sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at
least one life will be
saved.
BE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS
POSSIBLE, you
could save a
life.

Dear Family and Friends,
Zimbabwe has begun harvesting the
results of six years of mismanagement. We
are continuing to have a bountiful
rainy season and every day the heavens
open and wash our troubled land.
Streams and rivers are flowing, dams are
filling, the vegetation is
flourishing but all this water is causing
crumbling, decrepit and
un-maintained systems to come dangerously close to
falling apart.
This
week the reports of diarrhoea and cholera have continued and we have
seen the
most appalling television coverage of foul and filthy piles of
sodden and
decaying garbage in and around the capital city. We have seen
pictures of raw
sewage bubbling up out of broken, blocked pipes and have
heard reports of tap
water with unacceptably high levels of blue green
algae. The excuses from the
authorities are the same as always - there is
no fuel - to collect garbage,
transport workers or carry spare parts; and
there is no money - to buy fuel
on the black market, to buy chemicals for
the water or to purchase equipment
needed to effect repairs.
Every day in my part of the country this week
the electricity has gone off:
at first it was two hours, then three, five,
six and on Friday for seven
hours. A telephone call to ZESA - the electricity
supply company- is
virtually pointless as all they can tell you is that the
power cut is the
result of load shedding. They say they don't know how long
the power will
be off for and say that it is out of their
control.
Also this week there have been growing reports of armyworm
gobbling up the
few crops that are in the ground on Zimbabwe's farms.
Apparently the worm
is now in all but one of Zimbabwe's provinces and is
going largely
unchecked for the same reason as everything else - no fuel to
get to the
affected crops and no money to buy the chemicals to spray the
worms.
What a diabolical mess we are now in. It is not surprising that
over 50 000
Zimbabweans were deported from South Africa in the month over
Christmas for
being illegal immigrants or that each and every day another 400
jump the
border into South Africa. I do not know what the figures are for
border
jumpers into Mozambique, Zambia and Botswana but I know that
Zimbabweans
are now just desperate to get away from the hunger, disease and
dirt - not
to mention inflation of 585%. At the very least our neighbours
could say
something but still they stay quiet; what shame upon them that they
cannot,
even now, speak out. Until next week, thanks for reading,
love

Letter

Dear JAG,
Roger et al
Zimpost put up its rates today
13/01/06 as I discovered in attempting to
send a 120g parcel to the USA.
Cost? 3.3 million. If it were off to the UK,
$2.7 million = say,
US$27.
For Royal Mail to send the same item to Zim according to their web
site the
charge would be 1.75 pounds = US$3.1.
That means it costs
8.7x as much to send an item from Zim to the UK
compared with UK to
Zim.
Is this maybe because it is
uphill?

Re: LCD training
Dear Eric
Thank you so much for the
very interesting and inspiring training course
for the Jag Loss Claim
Document that you took us through last week. I had
looked at the earlier
versions and "chickened out" as it looked far too
complicated and time
consuming but the latest set-up is "user friendly" and
I am fired up about
doing our LCD in the New Year. I would like to thank
and congratulate Wynand
Hart on the incredible amount of work that he has
put into this project in
the last three years. Unbelievable commitment to
an essential
cause.
I think it is very important to get as many farmers as possible to
do their
LCD's in order to acquire a "critical mass" of information with
which the
whole compensation issue can be kicked off.
Well done to all
of you at Jag for your commitment to our combined cause.
Kind
regards.
Julia
Burdett

it has undergone a
considerable change for the better, and we feel that our
service to
animal welfare is now worthy of the aims of the
SPCA.
We would be grateful for any donations of any kind to help
us keep
going. Funding is an eternal problem, as sadly we are all too
aware.
