Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency Blocking Property of Persons
Undermining Democratic Processes or Institutions in Zimbabwe

On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, I declared a national emergency
blocking the property of persons undermining democratic processes or
institutions in Zimbabwe, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 1706). I took this action to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States
constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government
of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes
or institutions, thus contributing to the deliberate breakdown in the rule
of law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated violence and intimidation in
that country, and to political and economic instability in the southern
African region. On November 22, 2005, I issued Executive Order 13391 to take
additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13288 and to block the property of additional persons
undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe.

Because the actions and policies of these persons continue to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States,
the national emergency declared on March 6,

2003, and the measures adopted on that date and on November 22, 2005, to
deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond March 6, 2006.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act
(50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with
respect to persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in
Zimbabwe.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to
the Congress.

Bread price up 30% - but Zimbabweans line up to buy

Voice of America (VOA)
Date: 28 Feb 2006

By Netsai Mlilo

Bulawayo & Washington, 28 February 2006 - Despite a 30% rise in the price of
bread, residents of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second largest city, are still
lining up to purchase a loaf for Z$70,000, about 50 U.S. cents.
Unhappy consumers, many of them working mothers with children in school, say
they have no choice with maize meal, the national staple, in even shorter
supply.

Bulawayo bakers, meanwhile, warn that a government order to them to cut
prices will only further tighten bread supplies, as Netsai Mlilo reported
from Bulawayo.

Recent steep rises in food and transport prices could be followed by more
increases given consumer inflation that ran at an annual 600% rate in
January, analysts say.

Economist Intelligence Unit Senior Economist David Cowan says food prices
are likely to keep rising beyond the reach of many ordinary Zimbabweans and
that the portion of the population needing food assistance - some 4 million
today - could surge.

Cowan told reporter Chinedu Offor of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that
families should brace themselves for even worse conditions to come.

Govt Can Go To Hell - Bread Manufacturers

Zim Daily

            Wednesday, March 01 2006 @ 12:06 AM GMT
            Contributed by: correspondent
             Bread manufacturers have vowed to defy a government edict
ordering the reversal of the recent bread price increase, accusing the State
of making populist statements that ignored the value chain of the production
of bread. Bread manufacturers increased the price of a loaf from the
gazetted $44 000 to $70 000 last week due to what they said were "high
operating costs." But government on Monday ordered the manufacturers to
reverse the increase saying the upward review was "illegal" and
"mischievous."

            Government claimed the increase was not justified because the
price of wheat and flour, both controlled products, had not been adjusted.
National Bakers Association president Bunambo Mudumo told Zimdaily that
bakeries would defy the edict saying input costs had continued to skyrocket.
"The price of yeast has gone up, diesel has gone up 100% on the black
market, fat and oil have gone up 160%, repair and maintenance has also shot
up in sympathy with the exchange rate," Mudumo said.

            "Flour is the only controlled product but all the other raw
materials have shot up. We want to bear with the consumers but we also want
to make sure industry survives. So what the minister is saying is just
populist posturing. We can't produce a loaf and sell it at $44 000. We will
be making a loss. The Honourable minister knows this." Industry minister
Obert Mpofu warned that all outlets found selling bread above the gazetted
price would be brought to book. "We have already assigned police officers
and inspectors to visit those bakeries and supermarkets that are charging
between $65 000 and $70 000 for a loaf," Mpofu declared.

            "Government allowed the bakery industry to increase the price of
bread to $44 000 dollars and that is the price we recognize. Any other price
increases are illegal and we will take the perpetrators to task." However
another baker Luckymore Zinyama of Harambe Holdings, a company that
manufacturers Mitchells Bread said it was inevitable for bread manufacturers
to adjust their price due to the ever-escalating operating costs. "These
prices are not even viable because input costs continue to affect many
operators," he said. "It is unfortunate that policy makers rush to accuse
operators without looking closely at events on the ground."

            Zinyama said the failure by the agriculture sector to perform
due to drought had resulted in low supply of inputs to make bread. He added
that the inflation scourge that had assumed an upward trend was dealing a
deadly blow to operations of most companies in the manufacturing sector.
Zimbabwe is grappling with inflation of at least 613% and acute foreign
currency shortages, causing headaches for the country's factories and
businesses. Prices of most other goods in supermarkets go up every few days.

Mawere In London To Battle For SSM Holdings

            British courts should protect me - Mawere

            By Makusha Mugabe

            Mutumwa Mawere, a self-exiled Zimbabwean businessman, has
arrived in London in to fight for his companies which the government took
over in Zimbabwe claiming that he owed the Zimbabwe government money. Mawere
was one of the shining stars when the govenment claimined to be promoting
indigenous businessmen but he fell out with the government for reasons he
says he does not know himself. In an interview in London yesterday he said:
it could be jealous by big wigs within Mugabe's ruling party; it could be
bacause he had started a newspaper, the Tribune;it could be the corruption
he was exposing or it could be the National Development Assembly - a forum
to which he also brought opposition spokespersons.

            "I really don't know, but the take-over was illegal and I am
here to stop the illegal take-over because these companies were registered
in the British Virgin Islands and the British Courts should protect me. I
hope my ownership will be restored and compansation paid."

            Mawere said if the British courts granted his order the only way
the government could keep the companies is if they nationalised them, but
there would be severe penalties for nationalising a British company. Mawere
was an Employers Confederation of Zimbabwe (EMCOZ) executive representative
on the Tripartite Negotiating Forum, with Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions
(ZCTU) and Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ); all three nominated directors to
the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) board when it was formed. NSSA
raked in millions of dollars from all workers and employer contributions,
with chairman Edwin Manikai appointed by Minister of Social Welfare as the
GOZ representative presiding over the corrupt use of NSSA funds to undertake
ZANU PF projects approved by then Minister July Moyo. The Smoothnest
Investment saga was exposed by Mawere where workers's funds were channeled
through this shelf company to finance ZANU-PF. Mawere said the fact that
Zimbabwean workers are now not having pensions and cannot not pay for
medical treatment because their policies have no money is directly
attributable to this corruption.

            Current Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Goverenor Gideon Gono was also
part of the corruption matrix and got his reward, said Mawere who was
accused of externalising foreign currency by the Zimbabwe government. When
he did not make himself available for the hearings in Zimbabwe the
government specified him and his compnies. The govenment has already
appointed an administrator who is running the 26 companies which were worth
US $300 and are still making profit. Mawere is in London to stop the final
part of the expropriation of his companies, SMM Holding and THZ Holdings,
which are registered in the British Virgin Islands. Because the
expropriation cannot be crystalised without UK courts' sanction the Mugabe
government is now trying to use a nominee company, AMG Global Nominees
(Private) Limited, as the govenment officials cannot come themselves because
of international sanctions.

            They would like to acquire claims by a British company, T & N,
that was the previous owner of Shabanie and Mashaba Mines (Pvt) Limited. A
case management conference set for Thursday is expected to be attended by
Manikai, Afaras Gwaradzimba, the govenment appointed administrator of
Mawere's companies in Zimbabwe and one Peter Moyo, representing AMG.
Although the government has admitted that they are the principals behind
AMG, AMG is denying the connection with the government even though US$2
million for the case was paid by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. Also in the
London this week is Sekai Holland, an opposition Movement for Democratic
Change official who has taken an interest in the case. She said, as the
chairperson for policy and ideology committee during the period up to the
Congress, she was interested in how this corruption was taking place.

            "The govenment claims that Mawere owed the government but our
MPs in the Parliament knew nothing about this; how many other companies
could be running on public money, we don't know, so we are very interested
in this case, not only to be able to inform our upcoming congress, but also
for us to be able to plan properly about private property rights as a future
government.

            "We need to frame policies correctly so that no leader can just
move money and national assets without proper authority," she said.

Grovelling Zanu PF Praises For Mutambara

Zim Daily

            Wednesday, March 01 2006 @ 12:06 AM GMT
            Contributed by: correspondent
             Newly elected MDC pro-senate faction leader Arthur Mutambara's
acceptance speech received kudos from the ruling Zanu PF party that has
apparently been pleasantly surprised with the new leader's stance on land
and foreign relations while the real opposition MDC has sneered at the
speech, accusing the rocket scientist of being an appendage of the ruling
party. Zanu PF youth secretary Absalom Sikhosana said he could not
understand why Mutambara was in the opposition while he so articulately
espoused Zanu PF policies and ideals.

            "Honestly speaking, I don't understand why he is in the MDC,"
Sikhosana said. "What he said is exactly what our leaders in Zanu PF have
been saying. He must come back home (to Zanu PF). That's where he belongs. I
can't understand why he is opposing Zanu PF while echoing Zanu PF policies."
In his acceptance speech, Mutambara said: "We are a Zimbabwean and an
African political party. We are freedom fighters. We stand on the shoulders
of the founding fathers of this nation; such as Nikita Mangena, Josiah
Tongogara, Herbert Chitepo, Leopold Takawira, Joshua Nkomo, and Robert
Mugabe."

            His speech seemed to have a struck a chord with President Mugabe
who made no mention of him in a weekend speech to celebrate his birthday,
but spent almost 15 minutes denouncing charismatic MDC leader Morgan
Tsvangirai. Mutambara also praised Zanu PF's haphazard land grab. "Land was
the basis of our armed struggle," Mutambara said. "We believe that going
back to the pre-February 2000 status quo is not desirable.

            We believe that our views on land reform in Zimbabwe are
different from those of Western governments. Our approach is not driven by
the interests of white farmers, but those of all Zimbabweans, white and
black..we also acknowledge the complicity of some Western governments which
reneged on agreements, and the inertia of white farmers in seeking
pre-emptive solutions." The Zanu PF youth chief said Mutambara was a "true
Zimbabwean," brought up to understand that he could not "wish away issues
that the liberation struggle was fought for." "He speaks the Zimbabwean
language," Sikhosana said. The Zanu PF youth secretary added he was happy
that the pro-senate faction was beginning to acknowledge the role that
freedom fighters played in liberating the country.

            "I don't know what his colleagues are saying because since the
formation of the MDC, their number one enemy has been war veterans,"
Sikhosana said. "But I guess they were in agreement because they were
applauding him as he was speaking." However Tsvangirai's spokesman William
Bango said the pro-senate congress and Mutambara's return had created an
unnecessary media frenzy. Bango referred to the judgement that was made by
Justice Omarjee, who threw out an application by the pro-senate side seeking
to remove Tsvangirai as leader of the party.

            He said: "Until this high court decision is set aside,
Tsvangirai's leadership is not under threat." Bango explained how only the
congress scheduled for March 17th can deal with this issue. As for
Mutambara's return to politics, Bango said those on the ground in Zimbabwe
were not aware of all the buzz in the media. He said unfortunately Mutambara
was trying to enter politics through a platform that is not recognised.
Mutambara's statement, he said, was a media sound bite but he does not
represent the MDC, according to Bango. Asked whether reconciliation with the
pro-senate leaders was possible, Bango said Tsvangirai's view was that any
wayward members of the MDC who went astray for any reason were welcome to
come back. He said all aggrieved members can bring their grievances to the
congress and the people will decide, not Tsvangirai and not any other
individual. Tsvangirai's group has organised their congress for March 17th
to March 19th in Harare.

Govt Fertiliser Companies Takeover Bid Falls Through

Zim Daily

            Wednesday, March 01 2006 @ 12:02 AM GMT
            Contributed by: correspondent
            Government plans to create a national fertiliser firm have hit a
snag, with TA Holdings- a 51 percent controller in Zimbabwe's sole ammonium
manufacturer Sable- announcing this week it had called off negotiations.
Sources close to developments have indicated that the negotiations had been
bogged down in valuation disputes. Government had planned to amalgamate
Sable, Windmill, which is wholly owned by Norwegian firm Yara and the
Zimbabwe Fertiliser Company- in which both TA and Yara are also
shareholders, into one National Fertiliser Company.

            The move was meant to secure the critical input, whose
availability on the market has been erratic due to foreign currency
shortages as well as unviable prices set by government. TA this week advised
shareholders that the negotiations had been discontinued. "On January 19
2006, we published a cautionary statement advising that negotiations that
could result in the disposal of TA Holdings' fertiliser interests were in
progress. We now advise that the negotiations have been discontinued," TA
announced.

            Initially, the government, through the central bank, had set
aside $1.5 trillion for the acquisition of the three businesses, but
existing investors held out for a higher price, believed to be about $13
trillion in mid-January.

Graft is Zim's 'No 1 enemy'

News24

28/02/2006 21:17  - (SA)

Harare - Zimbabwe's central bank chief said on Tuesday endemic corruption
was overtaking inflation as the country's number one enemy, which could
further dampen prospects of economic recovery.

Gideon Gono, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor, who has previously labelled
rampant inflation as the country's chief foe, said graft was spreading in
all economic sectors.

Zimbabwe is battling a six-year economic recession marked by the highest
inflation rate in the world, at 613.2% in January and shortages of foreign
exchange, fuel and food while unemployment has climbed to more than 70%.

Gono said: "I must hasten to say that now corruption is fast overtaking
inflation as our enemy No 1.

"Corruption is now the HIV/Aids of our economic turnaround programme that
needs to be tackled with such resolute determination that says no to any
such vices."

Gono, who was given the task of turning around the country's battered
economy by President Robert Mugabe, last month launched a bold attack on
graft saying that corruption, especially among influential officials,
threatened to derail economic recovery efforts.

Anti-graft campaign

Mugabe launched an anti-graft campaign in 2004 which critics said was an
attempt to divert attention from the country's deepening economic crisis as
it left out officials from his ruling Zanu-PF party.

The graft-busting drive led to the arrest of mostly senior bank executives
and the subsequent closure of some financial institutions which the central
bank said were not in a sound financial position. Most executives involved
have since fled the country.

Mugabe last year appointed an anti-graft commission, which the government
expects to tack corruption cases.

Critics say Mugabe's policies, including the seizure of white-owned
commercial farms for blacks, have made Zimbabwe's economic crisis worse, a
charge the veteran leader denies.

He argues that the economy has fallen victim to sabotage by the West, as
opposed to the seizing of farms.

New school fees structure on cards

Daily Mirror, Zimbabwe

The Daily Mirror Reporter
issue date :2006-Mar-01

THE House of Assembly yesterday passed the Education Amendment Bill (H.B 6C
2005), which if assented to by President Robert Mugabe, will provide
guidelines for fees and levies increases in non-governmental schools.

The proposed law sailed through the assembly as amended by the Senate and
also after the House was divided and Zanu PF won 45 votes against the MDC's
21 in support of the Bill.
The Bill proposes that school fees and levies increases shall not be over
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as released by the Central Statistical Office
(CSO) every month, that fees and levies for day pupils provided with food at
a school are not more than 40 percent of the fees and levies paid by
boarders, while those not provided with meals would pay not more than 30
percent.
It empowers the permanent secretary in the ministry of education to set the
fees.
The Senate scratched a provision proposed by Bulawayo North-East legislator,
Professor Welshman Ncube that the new fee structure would
not apply to fees and levies
existing on the day the law come into effect.
Chitungwiza legislator, Fidelis Mhashu criticised the amendments by the
Senate saying the removal of the provision proposed by Ncube was tantamount
to applying the law in retrospect. "The removal would result in the
application of the law in retrospect. Those schools whose fees are below the
CPI will force parents to pay more while those that are higher would be
asked to refund and this would dislocate their budgets," he said.
He added that by stipulating the percentage of fees, day scholars fees would
not take into account the different needs and situations of schools.
Mutare Central legislator for MDC, Innocent Gonese also opposed the
amendments and accused the Minister of Education, Sport and Culture, Aeneas
Chigwedere (Hwedza MP), of trying to control schools.
"The Attorney General's office suggested an improvement on the proviso by
Ncube and not changing it.
"The minister owes us an explanation on who moved the motion in Senate to
delete the proviso. His intention has always been to control schools," he
said.
Chigwedere moved the motion in the Senate to delete Ncube's proposals that
had been adopted by the House of Assembly. However, Chigwedere shot down the
criticisms levelled at him saying his ministry had arrived at the new school
fees and levies determination format in consultations with non-governmental
schools.
"This came from trust schools and we thought it was reasonable. If a school
wants a figure above the CPI then they  should apply to the permanent
secretary. We also don't mean to apply the law in retrospect that is out, no
court will allow that," he said.
On how the ministry had arrived at percentages for day scholars, Chigwedere
said this was after a realisation that most schools spend less than 30
percent of their income on teaching and learning materials.
"Trust schools use less than 30 percent on teaching and learning most of
them spend between 25 and 30 percent," he said.
The issue of determination of school fees between government and private
schools began two years ago when Chigwedere closed some of the schools and
arrested some headmasters for charging fees that were above government
gazetted prices.
The schools then took the matter to the High Court and a ruling was passed
barring Chigwedere from determining fees for the private schools.
 The House of Assembly immediately adjourned after the Bill's third reading
and will resume sitting on March 28.

Residents speak out on power cuts

Daily Mirror, Zimbabwe

The Daily Mirror Reporter
issue date :2006-Mar-01

HARARE residents have voiced their concerns over incessant power cuts that
have affected most suburbs as a result of the national power authority's
load shedding.
Many high-density suburbs such as Mufakose, Budiriro, Glen View, Glen Norah
and others  have been worst affected with residents suffering daily power
cuts during the evenings thereby disrupting a number of domestic activities,
while damaging electrical appliances.
Mufakose experienced a 24-hour power cut between Monday and Tuesday.
The suburb has also gone without power in the evenings on a number of days
resulting in residents resorting to cook using  firewood or primus stoves.
A litre of paraffin now costs about $200 000 on the black market, while a
bundle of five splinters of firewood costs about $50 000.
Residents interviewed by The Daily Mirror expressed disappointment with the
Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa) Holdings, saying the power
utility was failing to address the power problem effectively.
"We have lost a lot of gadgets because of these powercuts.  When restored,
appliances can be damaged," complained Sure Chinhoyi of Mufakose.
Cable Mukanga of Greendale said the powercuts had disturbed him from seeing
his favourite team, Real Madrid, play in the Champions  League.
He added: " I think Zesa ought to do something about it.
" We cannot be losing power all the time. Even during the Nations' Cup we
missed some of the matches played by Zimbabwe because of abrupt power cuts."
Some residents have further complained that if the power problems were a
result of load shedding, then the system ought to be fair and be applied to
all residential areas.
They alleged that there were few cases of blackouts in the eastern suburbs
as compared to the high-density areas.
"If this is a case of load shedding, then I think it should affect all
suburbs equally.
"My girlfriend in Eastlea says they never experience powercuts," said
another Mufakose resident, Custon Muzonzini.
Muzonzini, who runs a welding business in the same suburb, complained that
the power cuts were making him lose out on business.
Margaret Mhiripiri of Glen Norah said she had adjusted the time she prepared
supper after her family on several occasions slept on empty stomachs last
month due to the powercuts.
The powercuts, especially in areas notorious for criminal activities, such
as Highfield, Mufakose, Mbare and Tafara, have at times been a blessing for
robbers and muggers who take advantage of the darkness to waylay
pedestrians.
Zesa Holdings has in recent cases of blackouts, bemoaned vandalism of
equipment, technical faults and the need to distribute the finite resource
as the major causes of the problem.
Even at times when there is power, most streets remain unlit as road lights
and other lighting equipment have been stolen from roads and gone without
replacement.
Zesa officials have since blamed the powercuts on vandalism of its equipment
and technical faults.

Delta temporarily closes plants

Daily Mirror, Zimbabwe

The Daily Mirror Reporter
issue date :2006-Mar-01

DELTA Beverages, one of the two franchise holders of Coca-Cola Bottlers in
Zimbabwe, will this week temporarily shutdown two of its manufacturing
plants in Harare and Bulawayo due to inability to secure foreign currency to
pay suppliers, George Mutendadzamera, the general manager corporate affairs
said yesterday.
The temporary closure comes against a critical shortage of bottled soft
drinks in major supermarkets and retail outlets in Harare City Centre.
Mutare Bottling Company is the only other manufacturer of soft drinks, but
does not fall under Delta Beverages.
Mutendadzamera said Delta Beverages operates two manufacturing plants in
Harare and Bulawayo that would be temporarily closed this week due to a
shortage of imported beverage concentrates.
"Both plants will temporarily shut down this week due to a shortage of
imported beverage concentrates.
"The shortage is a direct result of our inability to secure foreign currency
to pay our suppliers," Mutendadzamera said. "The shutdown is temporary and
we will resume operations as soon as we secure foreign currency to pay our
suppliers of concentrates. We hope that this will be before the end of
March."
He added that the company's employees at the affected plants were placed on
paid leave pending resumption of operations.
The temporary closure this week comes at a time when most retail outlets in
Harare have already been hit by a shortage of bottled soft drinks, a survey
of major supermarkets and retail outlets in the city centre showed
yesterday. There were no 300 millilitre (ml) bottled soft drinks in at least
eight of the major supermarkets visited, while shop attendants and shop
managers interviewed said they had been struggling to maintain steady
supplies of the commodity in the past few weeks.
They said they had failed to secure any orders at the beginning of this
week.
"Our stocks of soft drinks ran out on Monday and we have not received any
fresh supplies today. Our suppliers have not given us any reason why they
cannot supply us with the soft drinks," a shop worker, at one major
supermarket along Mbuya Nehanda Street, said.
At another leading supermarket chain along First Street, one branch manager
said they had been failing to secure stocks from their suppliers and were
unaware when supplies would resume.Some of the major supermarkets covered in
the survey that did not have the 300 ml bottled drinks in supply included OK
branches along Mbuya Nehanda Street, Robson Manyika Street, First Street and
OK Express at Rezende Bus Termini.
Food World and Friendly Supermarkets along Cameron Street, KwikSpar at the
corner of Robert Mugabe and First Street, as well as TM Nelson Mandela
Street and Orr Street branches had no stocks of the soft beverages.
Only soft drinks in one-litre quantities were available in most of the
supermarkets covered.

Mothers turn to African baby foods

Daily Mirror, Zimbabwe

The Daily Mirror Reporter
issue date :2006-Mar-01

MOST mothers have now resorted to feeding infants with traditional foods
owing to shortages of baby foods and souring costs of the limited available
products.
A snap survey conducted by The Daily Mirror revealed that most baby foods
were no longer available on shelves since Nestle pulled out of Zimbabwe.
Nestle was the leading manufacturer of baby products in the country and is
now based in South Africa.
Foods such as Nan, Lactogen, Cerelac, Purity and Gripe water were costing an
average of $1 million a month.
Cerelec, which is now commonly packed in small 250grammes, is costing about
$200 000 - a packet which last for a week - while a 500grammes of Nan is
costing $1,3 million on average.
A small bottle of Purity for one meal is costing around $150 000 and gripe
water is just above $200 000 in most shops in town.
Tracy Shava of Glen View had this to say: "At times you are forced to switch
from one type of formula to another even if the baby is not yet recommended
to take that milk because of the shortage.
" You just have to feed the baby with whatever food is available."
Another mother from Glen View, Martha Makore said because the available
foods were no longer affordable, she has since turned to traditional foods
as an alternative feeding for her baby.
She said breastfeeding was the only solution compared to formula feeding
while mealie meal porridge dominated tables for children nowadays.
"Of late, mothers were relying more on Lactogen (artificial milk) and
Cerelac (infants porridge), but the costs are now prohibitive. Breastfeeding
is the best while our traditional foods supplement it," said Makore.
However, according to the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare's nutrition
department, powdered milk for feeding babies can be contaminated by
bacteria - posing a serious health risk to babies especially pre-term, low
birth weight or immune deficient infants.
Since infant formula is not sterile, it may contain pathogenic
microorganisms such as enterobacter or salmonella, which could lead to
serious illness or death for infants.

Harare's water safe to drink

Daily Mirror, Zimbabwe

The Daily Mirror Reporter
issue date :2006-Mar-01

THE quality of Harare's drinking water has improved with the government
laboratory recently certifying that it was safe and met the World Health
Organisation's standards.
Last month, some commissioners running the affairs of the municipality took
to task senior council officials over the city's water quality during a
meeting following concerns by residents and other corporate bodies that the
water was unsafe for human consumption.
According to minutes of the city's Education, Health, Housing and Community
Services and Licensing Committee meeting held last month, the acting
director of Health Services, Stanley Mungofa, said the water was being sent
for tests to various laboratories weekly.
"The acting director of Health Services verbally reported that his
department was sending water samples to different laboratories on a weekly
basis and according to the results received from the government laboratory,
the water was safe and met the World Health Organisation standards," read
the minutes.
The committee then instructed Mungofa to regularly update them on the
quality of the city's water.
 Harare adopted a number of measures aimed at improving the quality of water
distributed to residents following an outbreak of cholera in the capital
which claimed many lives.
This include sampling and testing the quality daily by the Quality Assurance
Section, submission of results to the Ministry of Local Government, Public
Works and Urban Development, Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, the
Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) and the commission.
The city's chief chemist has also been seconded to Zinwa, who are
responsible for bulk water management, recruitment of specialists and
cleaning water reservoirs.
Harare's raw water is polluted by affluent released by industry and raw
sewage released by council into the water bodies that have seen Zinwa
requiring eight different chemicals to purify the water.
Shortages of foreign currency had, however, affected the availability of the
treatment chemicals.

7/2/06)

The Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) is one of
Zimbabwe's premier artistic events.  It gives Zimbabweans the change to
meet and interface with top local artists, as well as regional and
international artists and performers. The Festival's appeal is for all
ages and interests and during HIFA, Zimbabweans come together in a truly
carnival atmosphere to
experience the sheer joy that is art in whatever form - art as healer,
art as educator, art as up lifter of the spirit.

HIFA 2006 is scheduled for 25th to 30th April 2006. All the major
international festivals offer a "Friends of Festival" scheme and ours is
known as HifAmigos.  HifAmigos are a highly valued and regarded
component of the Festival.  HIFA offers a series of comprehensive
benefits in several categories of HifAmigos to cater for all interests
and needs and subscriptions are reasonable.

HIFA has been described as "second to Edinburgh" and "among the top ten
festivals of the world!"  HIFA 2006 now invites you to become a HifAmigo
or to renew your HifAmigo membership.  If you do so by 24th February
2006, you will be listed in the Official HIFA 2006 Programme and invited
to what is becoming the hottest even on the Zimbabwean social calendar -
the HIFA Opening Party. Our launch events are legendary.  Join early &
be there!

2006 HifAmigos will enjoy 20% discounts on all shows and workshops.
Procedure for becoming a hifAmigo

The Zimbabwe National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
requests that all cases of cruelty or abuse of animals, both domestic and
livestock, are reported to them.

 Recently there has been an increase of deliberate cruelty to livestock,
 but unfortunately many of these incidents are not reported to ZNSCPA and
 we only get to hear about them through a third party long after the abuse
 has taken place.

 Cruelty to animals, including wild life in captivity, is a punishable
 offence in Zimbabwe and we are pleased to report that the Police and the
 Courts are dealing swiftly and decisively with these cases when we
 present
 our dockets to them.

 Whilst ZNSPCA remains totally non-political, we continue to respond
 quickly and professionally to requests for help on farms where the
 welfare of
 animals is being compromised in any way.
