Issue No 17 - July 2011 Issue No 17 - July 2011
By Peter Baxter
Buried somewhere in my memories of childhood is an image of that broken ridge deep in the hazy distance during fire season, as the family drove between Chipinga and Melsetter sometime in the early
1970s. Those were the days before the war, before convoys, landmines, ambushes and all the rest of it; when the Chimanimani National Park became inaccessible, and slumbered under the occasional boot of an army patrol or a wandering band of comrades. Then in the 1980s, after the dust had settled and Zimbabwe was born, the gates of the National Park reopened, and with the ginger fear of left over landmines, civilian visitors began to spread out again, and pick up the threads of this beautiful mountain mythology.
The Chimanimani Mountain range is a geological feature pertaining to that rent that runs from the Cape to the Levantine, and is known along most of its distance as the Great Rift Valley. It marks the collision of two tectonic plates, and is poised at the apex of several local ecological zones. The features of the range are clearly old. There is a gnarled, Tolkienesque venerability in the many cracks and fissures, gorges and gullies, lakes and rivers. It is a wonderland of the unique and unusual; an extraordinarily beautiful landscape.
Practically, however, the Chimanimani National Park is one of the more accessible mountain wilderness preserves in Africa. It does not have the inherent dangers associated with free range hiking in the Drakensberg, nor the restrictions of places like Kilimanjaro or Rwenzori. A person can sign in at the main gate and thereafter range freely without hindrance. This is fairly unique in Africa, and it relies on individual responsibility in terms of conservation and good wilderness practice. This has not always been respected, but so far the mountain has not suffered for the liberty that is offered to individual hikers.
Another aspect of the Chimanimani that is unique is the ease with which a modestly equipped hiker can survive. Caves abound, so carrying a tent is unnecessary. Conditions underfoot are reasonably benign, so no heavy footwear is required, and weather conditions very rarely require a fleece or raincoat. This is shorts and t-shirt country, and if a little physical asceticism is your interest, then a morning plunge in one of the lakes, or pools, that litter the mountain will certainly wake you up.
This is one of the most beautiful corners of the African highland spectrum, and as an evolving society and natural environment, the Chimanimani Mountains are certainly one of the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.
Chimanimani National Park is ideal for both day and multi-day hikes. There are two principal access routes, Bailey’s Folley, leaving directly from the Mutekestwane Base Camp, and perhaps best described as the short, sharp option, getting you to the hut in a breathless, and breathtaking, hour and a half. Then there is the more moderate Banana Grove Trail that follows the firebreak west of camp for a short while before meandering pleasantly up into the high plains.
Within a day’s walk of base camp is the gorgeous Bundi Plain, where a day of swimming, sunbathing and exploration is usually followed by a slow walk down. Features include Digby’s Falls, Skeleton Pass, and if you are particularly energetic, a summit of Binga. All of these are easy to navigate, although mounting Binga and back in one day can be a bit of a push.
One of the great features of Chimanimani are the caves. The best known of these are Red Wall, close to the hut, and Peterhouse, just a little further on down the Bundi Valley. Further afield lies Terry’s Cave, a beautifully situated overhang that can sleep a good number of packs, and which is ideal for a secluded stay in one of the most idyllic quarters of the mountain.
About as far south as any casual visitor would ever want to travel are the Southern Lakes. This series of deep, dark and clear pools make a wonderful day stop and campsite (in dry weather) for those with an appetite for plunging into a quintessential mountain lake.
From Southern Lakes, a superb and reasonably easy trail makes its way back to Base Camp via Banana Grove, and the expansive high plains that are the signature of the Chimanimani.
Maps are available locally to pinpoint all these worthwhile locations. Watch out! As with all mountain environments, the weather is unpredictable and disorientation possible. Keep your wits about you as you walk, and make sure you have logged your direction if you strike out off the trail. The Chimanimani National Park is located along the frontier with Mozambique. Without expert local guidance it is very unwise to wander into Mozambique. Seek advice locally before you consider this.
Otherwise welcome to this paradise in the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.

Peter BaxterBorn in Kenya, a product of the British Colonial Service, Peter spent his formative years in Mutare, prior to
becoming an accomplished mountain guide establishing “The Chimanimani Bushwalking Company” that pioneered single and multi-day guided trips into the mountains during the halcyon tourist days of the '90s.
Peter is a published writer with a focus on African history; his book “Rhodesia – Last Outpost of the British Empire 1890-1980” (Galago April 2010) provides a fascinating chronicle of the events and personalities that shaped the country from conception to independence.
As a guide of considerable repute, Peter's services have been engaged to lead expeditions to scale Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzori (Mountains of the Moon) and Drakensburg Mountains.
Peter now lives in America where he continues to write. For more information visit www.peterbaxter.com
This year's Chimanimani Arts Festival takes place between Tuesday 12th and Thursday 14th August – and whilst it may prove cool in the evenings, we expect clear, blue skies during the day – so bring your woolies for a mountain spectacular under the full moon.
Proposed artists' include Oliver Mtukudzi - last year “Tuku” was a special guest with the Ay Band as a tribute to his son Sam. Also proposed are Alexio Kawara, afropop diva “Slizer”, hip-hop poet “Cde Fatso and Chabvonduka”, Music Crossroads winners “Club Shanga”, Afro-Punk group “Chikwata263”, plus theatre, poetry, comedy, cultural acts, arts and craft, film, fun and entertainment galore, all for free!

The Computer Society of Zimbabwe (CSZ) was founded in 1974 with one objective, that of benefitting the Computer Industry and all people who work in it. The Society’s aims were to educate the general public on the use and development of Electronic Data Processing, today more widely known as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It set itself up to bring people using computers together, to set up standards within the industry and to promote computers and their use in scientific and commercial environments. Since its formation, CSZ has indeed played a leading role in ICT development, creating public awareness and focussing on education, professionalism and advising Government and other national bodies.Role in EducationAs early as 1975, CSZ was responsible for the introduction of the first Computer Studies Diploma at the Harare and Bulawayo Polytechnics – the diploma was the fore-runner to the current HND. The first lecturers and examiners were all drawn from the CSZ membership, eventually being replaced by fulltime college staff. Originally the students were confined to those actually working in the industry but with the advent of PCs in the 1980s there was a far wider demand for training and education, and the society reacted accordingly by running its own courses and starting an accreditation scheme for bona fide training providers.
Turning its attention to the schools, and especially the rural schools, CSZ partnered with World Links, a World Bank sponsored organisation which established ICT training centres in all provinces of the country. Since 1999, CSZ has been administering the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) in an endeavour to promote the level of computer literacy and operating competency nation-wide. ICDL has proved very popular with more than 55 000 individuals in Zimbabwe undergoing the training and certification, and now offers employers an international standard by which they can validate computer skills of all PC users throughout their organisations. Worldwide, over eleven million people have
participated in the ICDL. More recently a junior version of the ICDL, known as eLearner, has been introduced into primary schools. ProfessionalismCSZ sets standards for its members, not only for their own benefit, but also to give assurance to those who employ, or retain their services. Members are graded according to educational achievement and experience and all are subject to a Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. There is a laid-down Complaints Procedure to deal with any perceived transgressions of the Codes and this applies not only to individual members but also to the Institutional Members. The latter are made up of corporates, parastatals, government departments, which being large users of ICT, have an interest in the welfare of the industry as a whole. Members also have the opportunity to attend an annual Summer School where they are updated by experts on various ICT-related topics and where they are able to share experiences with their peers in the industry. Naturally, CSZ encourages all employers to insist on membership for all their ICT staff and the public generally to only retain CSZ members for services rendered.

Issue No 17 - July 2011 Issue No 17 - July 2011
By Peter Baxter
Buried somewhere in my memories of childhood is an image of that broken ridge deep in the hazy distance during fire season, as the family drove between Chipinga and Melsetter sometime in the early
1970s. Those were the days before the war, before convoys, landmines, ambushes and all the rest of it; when the Chimanimani National Park became inaccessible, and slumbered under the occasional boot of an army patrol or a wandering band of comrades. Then in the 1980s, after the dust had settled and Zimbabwe was born, the gates of the National Park reopened, and with the ginger fear of left over landmines, civilian visitors began to spread out again, and pick up the threads of this beautiful mountain mythology.
The Chimanimani Mountain range is a geological feature pertaining to that rent that runs from the Cape to the Levantine, and is known along most of its distance as the Great Rift Valley. It marks the collision of two tectonic plates, and is poised at the apex of several local ecological zones. The features of the range are clearly old. There is a gnarled, Tolkienesque venerability in the many cracks and fissures, gorges and gullies, lakes and rivers. It is a wonderland of the unique and unusual; an extraordinarily beautiful landscape.
Practically, however, the Chimanimani National Park is one of the more accessible mountain wilderness preserves in Africa. It does not have the inherent dangers associated with free range hiking in the Drakensberg, nor the restrictions of places like Kilimanjaro or Rwenzori. A person can sign in at the main gate and thereafter range freely without hindrance. This is fairly unique in Africa, and it relies on individual responsibility in terms of conservation and good wilderness practice. This has not always been respected, but so far the mountain has not suffered for the liberty that is offered to individual hikers.
Another aspect of the Chimanimani that is unique is the ease with which a modestly equipped hiker can survive. Caves abound, so carrying a tent is unnecessary. Conditions underfoot are reasonably benign, so no heavy footwear is required, and weather conditions very rarely require a fleece or raincoat. This is shorts and t-shirt country, and if a little physical asceticism is your interest, then a morning plunge in one of the lakes, or pools, that litter the mountain will certainly wake you up.
This is one of the most beautiful corners of the African highland spectrum, and as an evolving society and natural environment, the Chimanimani Mountains are certainly one of the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.
Chimanimani National Park is ideal for both day and multi-day hikes. There are two principal access routes, Bailey’s Folley, leaving directly from the Mutekestwane Base Camp, and perhaps best described as the short, sharp option, getting you to the hut in a breathless, and breathtaking, hour and a half. Then there is the more moderate Banana Grove Trail that follows the firebreak west of camp for a short while before meandering pleasantly up into the high plains.
Within a day’s walk of base camp is the gorgeous Bundi Plain, where a day of swimming, sunbathing and exploration is usually followed by a slow walk down. Features include Digby’s Falls, Skeleton Pass, and if you are particularly energetic, a summit of Binga. All of these are easy to navigate, although mounting Binga and back in one day can be a bit of a push.
One of the great features of Chimanimani are the caves. The best known of these are Red Wall, close to the hut, and Peterhouse, just a little further on down the Bundi Valley. Further afield lies Terry’s Cave, a beautifully situated overhang that can sleep a good number of packs, and which is ideal for a secluded stay in one of the most idyllic quarters of the mountain.
About as far south as any casual visitor would ever want to travel are the Southern Lakes. This series of deep, dark and clear pools make a wonderful day stop and campsite (in dry weather) for those with an appetite for plunging into a quintessential mountain lake.
From Southern Lakes, a superb and reasonably easy trail makes its way back to Base Camp via Banana Grove, and the expansive high plains that are the signature of the Chimanimani.
Maps are available locally to pinpoint all these worthwhile locations. Watch out! As with all mountain environments, the weather is unpredictable and disorientation possible. Keep your wits about you as you walk, and make sure you have logged your direction if you strike out off the trail. The Chimanimani National Park is located along the frontier with Mozambique. Without expert local guidance it is very unwise to wander into Mozambique. Seek advice locally before you consider this.
Otherwise welcome to this paradise in the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.

Peter BaxterBorn in Kenya, a product of the British Colonial Service, Peter spent his formative years in Mutare, prior to
becoming an accomplished mountain guide establishing “The Chimanimani Bushwalking Company” that pioneered single and multi-day guided trips into the mountains during the halcyon tourist days of the '90s.
Peter is a published writer with a focus on African history; his book “Rhodesia – Last Outpost of the British Empire 1890-1980” (Galago April 2010) provides a fascinating chronicle of the events and personalities that shaped the country from conception to independence.
As a guide of considerable repute, Peter's services have been engaged to lead expeditions to scale Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzori (Mountains of the Moon) and Drakensburg Mountains.
Peter now lives in America where he continues to write. For more information visit www.peterbaxter.com

The Computer Society of Zimbabwe (CSZ) was founded in 1974 with one objective, that of benefitting the Computer Industry and all people who work in it. The Society’s aims were to educate the general public on the use and development of Electronic Data Processing, today more widely known as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It set itself up to bring people using computers together, to set up standards within the industry and to promote computers and their use in scientific and commercial environments. Since its formation, CSZ has indeed played a leading role in ICT development, creating public awareness and focussing on education, professionalism and advising Government and other national bodies.Role in EducationAs early as 1975, CSZ was responsible for the introduction of the first Computer Studies Diploma at the Harare and Bulawayo Polytechnics – the diploma was the fore-runner to the current HND. The first lecturers and examiners were all drawn from the CSZ membership, eventually being replaced by fulltime college staff. Originally the students were confined to those actually working in the industry but with the advent of PCs in the 1980s there was a far wider demand for training and education, and the society reacted accordingly by running its own courses and starting an accreditation scheme for bona fide training providers.
Turning its attention to the schools, and especially the rural schools, CSZ partnered with World Links, a World Bank sponsored organisation which established ICT training centres in all provinces of the country. Since 1999, CSZ has been administering the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) in an endeavour to promote the level of computer literacy and operating competency nation-wide. ICDL has proved very popular with more than 55 000 individuals in Zimbabwe undergoing the training and certification, and now offers employers an international standard by which they can validate computer skills of all PC users throughout their organisations. Worldwide, over eleven million people have
participated in the ICDL. More recently a junior version of the ICDL, known as eLearner, has been introduced into primary schools. ProfessionalismCSZ sets standards for its members, not only for their own benefit, but also to give assurance to those who employ, or retain their services. Members are graded according to educational achievement and experience and all are subject to a Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. There is a laid-down Complaints Procedure to deal with any perceived transgressions of the Codes and this applies not only to individual members but also to the Institutional Members. The latter are made up of corporates, parastatals, government departments, which being large users of ICT, have an interest in the welfare of the industry as a whole. Members also have the opportunity to attend an annual Summer School where they are updated by experts on various ICT-related topics and where they are able to share experiences with their peers in the industry. Naturally, CSZ encourages all employers to insist on membership for all their ICT staff and the public generally to only retain CSZ members for services rendered.

By Peter Baxter
Buried somewhere in my memories of childhood is an image of that broken ridge deep in the hazy distance during fire season, as the family drove between Chipinga and Melsetter sometime in the early
1970s. Those were the days before the war, before convoys, landmines, ambushes and all the rest of it; when the Chimanimani National Park became inaccessible, and slumbered under the occasional boot of an army patrol or a wandering band of comrades. Then in the 1980s, after the dust had settled and Zimbabwe was born, the gates of the National Park reopened, and with the ginger fear of left over landmines, civilian visitors began to spread out again, and pick up the threads of this beautiful mountain mythology.
The Chimanimani Mountain range is a geological feature pertaining to that rent that runs from the Cape to the Levantine, and is known along most of its distance as the Great Rift Valley. It marks the collision of two tectonic plates, and is poised at the apex of several local ecological zones. The features of the range are clearly old. There is a gnarled, Tolkienesque venerability in the many cracks and fissures, gorges and gullies, lakes and rivers. It is a wonderland of the unique and unusual; an extraordinarily beautiful landscape.
Practically, however, the Chimanimani National Park is one of the more accessible mountain wilderness preserves in Africa. It does not have the inherent dangers associated with free range hiking in the Drakensberg, nor the restrictions of places like Kilimanjaro or Rwenzori. A person can sign in at the main gate and thereafter range freely without hindrance. This is fairly unique in Africa, and it relies on individual responsibility in terms of conservation and good wilderness practice. This has not always been respected, but so far the mountain has not suffered for the liberty that is offered to individual hikers.
Another aspect of the Chimanimani that is unique is the ease with which a modestly equipped hiker can survive. Caves abound, so carrying a tent is unnecessary. Conditions underfoot are reasonably benign, so no heavy footwear is required, and weather conditions very rarely require a fleece or raincoat. This is shorts and t-shirt country, and if a little physical asceticism is your interest, then a morning plunge in one of the lakes, or pools, that litter the mountain will certainly wake you up.
This is one of the most beautiful corners of the African highland spectrum, and as an evolving society and natural environment, the Chimanimani Mountains are certainly one of the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.
Chimanimani National Park is ideal for both day and multi-day hikes. There are two principal access routes, Bailey’s Folley, leaving directly from the Mutekestwane Base Camp, and perhaps best described as the short, sharp option, getting you to the hut in a breathless, and breathtaking, hour and a half. Then there is the more moderate Banana Grove Trail that follows the firebreak west of camp for a short while before meandering pleasantly up into the high plains.
Within a day’s walk of base camp is the gorgeous Bundi Plain, where a day of swimming, sunbathing and exploration is usually followed by a slow walk down. Features include Digby’s Falls, Skeleton Pass, and if you are particularly energetic, a summit of Binga. All of these are easy to navigate, although mounting Binga and back in one day can be a bit of a push.
One of the great features of Chimanimani are the caves. The best known of these are Red Wall, close to the hut, and Peterhouse, just a little further on down the Bundi Valley. Further afield lies Terry’s Cave, a beautifully situated overhang that can sleep a good number of packs, and which is ideal for a secluded stay in one of the most idyllic quarters of the mountain.
About as far south as any casual visitor would ever want to travel are the Southern Lakes. This series of deep, dark and clear pools make a wonderful day stop and campsite (in dry weather) for those with an appetite for plunging into a quintessential mountain lake.
From Southern Lakes, a superb and reasonably easy trail makes its way back to Base Camp via Banana Grove, and the expansive high plains that are the signature of the Chimanimani.
Maps are available locally to pinpoint all these worthwhile locations. Watch out! As with all mountain environments, the weather is unpredictable and disorientation possible. Keep your wits about you as you walk, and make sure you have logged your direction if you strike out off the trail. The Chimanimani National Park is located along the frontier with Mozambique. Without expert local guidance it is very unwise to wander into Mozambique. Seek advice locally before you consider this.
Otherwise welcome to this paradise in the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.

Peter BaxterBorn in Kenya, a product of the British Colonial Service, Peter spent his formative years in Mutare, prior to
becoming an accomplished mountain guide establishing “The Chimanimani Bushwalking Company” that pioneered single and multi-day guided trips into the mountains during the halcyon tourist days of the '90s.
Peter is a published writer with a focus on African history; his book “Rhodesia – Last Outpost of the British Empire 1890-1980” (Galago April 2010) provides a fascinating chronicle of the events and personalities that shaped the country from conception to independence.
As a guide of considerable repute, Peter's services have been engaged to lead expeditions to scale Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzori (Mountains of the Moon) and Drakensburg Mountains.
Peter now lives in America where he continues to write. For more information visit www.peterbaxter.com

The Computer Society of Zimbabwe (CSZ) was founded in 1974 with one objective, that of benefitting the Computer Industry and all people who work in it. The Society’s aims were to educate the general public on the use and development of Electronic Data Processing, today more widely known as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It set itself up to bring people using computers together, to set up standards within the industry and to promote computers and their use in scientific and commercial environments. Since its formation, CSZ has indeed played a leading role in ICT development, creating public awareness and focussing on education, professionalism and advising Government and other national bodies.Role in EducationAs early as 1975, CSZ was responsible for the introduction of the first Computer Studies Diploma at the Harare and Bulawayo Polytechnics – the diploma was the fore-runner to the current HND. The first lecturers and examiners were all drawn from the CSZ membership, eventually being replaced by fulltime college staff. Originally the students were confined to those actually working in the industry but with the advent of PCs in the 1980s there was a far wider demand for training and education, and the society reacted accordingly by running its own courses and starting an accreditation scheme for bona fide training providers.
Turning its attention to the schools, and especially the rural schools, CSZ partnered with World Links, a World Bank sponsored organisation which established ICT training centres in all provinces of the country. Since 1999, CSZ has been administering the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) in an endeavour to promote the level of computer literacy and operating competency nation-wide. ICDL has proved very popular with more than 55 000 individuals in Zimbabwe undergoing the training and certification, and now offers employers an international standard by which they can validate computer skills of all PC users throughout their organisations. Worldwide, over eleven million people have
participated in the ICDL. More recently a junior version of the ICDL, known as eLearner, has been introduced into primary schools. ProfessionalismCSZ sets standards for its members, not only for their own benefit, but also to give assurance to those who employ, or retain their services. Members are graded according to educational achievement and experience and all are subject to a Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. There is a laid-down Complaints Procedure to deal with any perceived transgressions of the Codes and this applies not only to individual members but also to the Institutional Members. The latter are made up of corporates, parastatals, government departments, which being large users of ICT, have an interest in the welfare of the industry as a whole. Members also have the opportunity to attend an annual Summer School where they are updated by experts on various ICT-related topics and where they are able to share experiences with their peers in the industry. Naturally, CSZ encourages all employers to insist on membership for all their ICT staff and the public generally to only retain CSZ members for services rendered.

The 'Glossy' Starlings – Greater Blue-eared, Miombo Blue-eared and Cape Glossy – are a real problem when it comes to correct identification. Field guides used to – and some still do – talk about the number of rows of black spots on the wings, the size of the ear patch of the Greater Starling and Miombo Starling, and the bluer belly of the Greater Starling as opposed to the magenta of the Miombo Starling, etc. However, in the field, and particularly with novice bird watchers, these differences are at best, unreliable.
It used to be said that the Cape Glossy Starling was a green-sheened bird rather than blue-sheened as in the other two, but these iridescent creatures change colour with the angle of light! Not long ago, we tried to identify a silent starling at Mukuvisi Woodlands – it changed colour from blue to purplish to very green as we circled it! And, as for the belly colour, it was very difficult to define. Finally, it called “sqee-aar” - all was revealed; a Greater Starling. This harsh, querulous note is the best way to identify them, so learn the calls; the Miombo Starlingis colloquially called “wirri-girri” and this soft, mellifluous call is quite different and definitive.
The Cape Glossy Starling used to be frequently recorded in Harare, but seldom is these days. Have they diminished because of habitat changes, or is it rather a case of better identification? A good look at the Cape Starling will show it has no ear patch, but again, a good long look at different angles is needed to be quite sure you are not missing – or seeing – one.
The Greater Starling is one of the most common Harare birds and is seen all over the city. The Miombo Starling, however, is quite restricted in the city, but has been seen quite regularly at Mukuvisi Woodlands where they breed. Their russet juveniles are another good way of telling them apart after they have bred.
To see the Cape Starling, try dry woodlands and acacia. For a real close-up view, try the Nyamandhlovu platform in Hwange National Park, which brings them nose to nose as they beg for titbits.

By Peter Baxter
Buried somewhere in my memories of childhood is an image of that broken ridge deep in the hazy distance during fire season, as the family drove between Chipinga and Melsetter sometime in the early
1970s. Those were the days before the war, before convoys, landmines, ambushes and all the rest of it; when the Chimanimani National Park became inaccessible, and slumbered under the occasional boot of an army patrol or a wandering band of comrades. Then in the 1980s, after the dust had settled and Zimbabwe was born, the gates of the National Park reopened, and with the ginger fear of left over landmines, civilian visitors began to spread out again, and pick up the threads of this beautiful mountain mythology.
The Chimanimani Mountain range is a geological feature pertaining to that rent that runs from the Cape to the Levantine, and is known along most of its distance as the Great Rift Valley. It marks the collision of two tectonic plates, and is poised at the apex of several local ecological zones. The features of the range are clearly old. There is a gnarled, Tolkienesque venerability in the many cracks and fissures, gorges and gullies, lakes and rivers. It is a wonderland of the unique and unusual; an extraordinarily beautiful landscape.
Practically, however, the Chimanimani National Park is one of the more accessible mountain wilderness preserves in Africa. It does not have the inherent dangers associated with free range hiking in the Drakensberg, nor the restrictions of places like Kilimanjaro or Rwenzori. A person can sign in at the main gate and thereafter range freely without hindrance. This is fairly unique in Africa, and it relies on individual responsibility in terms of conservation and good wilderness practice. This has not always been respected, but so far the mountain has not suffered for the liberty that is offered to individual hikers.
Another aspect of the Chimanimani that is unique is the ease with which a modestly equipped hiker can survive. Caves abound, so carrying a tent is unnecessary. Conditions underfoot are reasonably benign, so no heavy footwear is required, and weather conditions very rarely require a fleece or raincoat. This is shorts and t-shirt country, and if a little physical asceticism is your interest, then a morning plunge in one of the lakes, or pools, that litter the mountain will certainly wake you up.
This is one of the most beautiful corners of the African highland spectrum, and as an evolving society and natural environment, the Chimanimani Mountains are certainly one of the
jewels of the southern African eco-travel crown.
Chimanimani National Park is ideal for both day and multi-day hikes. There are two principal access routes, Bailey’s Folley, leaving directly from the Mutekestwane Base Camp, and perhaps best described as the short, sharp option, getting you to the hut in a breathless, and breathtaking, hour and a half. Then there is the more moderate Banana Grove Trail that follows the firebreak west of camp for a short while before meandering pleasantly up into the high plains.
Within a day’s walk of base camp is the gorgeous Bundi Plain, where a day of swimming, sunbathing and exploration is usually followed by a slow walk down. Features include Digby’s Falls, Skeleton Pass, and if you are particularly energetic, a summit of Binga. All of these are easy to navigate, although mounting Binga and back in one day can be a bit of a push.
One of the great features of Chimanimani are the caves. The best known of these are Red Wall, close to the hut, and Peterhouse, just a little further on down the Bundi Valley. Further afield lies Terry’s Cave, a beautifully situated overhang that can sleep a good number of packs, and which is ideal for a secluded stay in one of the most idyllic quarters of the mountain.
About as far south as any casual visitor would ever want to travel are the Southern Lakes. This series of deep, dark and clear pools make a wonderful day stop and campsite (in dry weather) for those with an appetite for plunging into a quintessential mountain lake.
From Southern Lakes, a superb and reasonably easy trail makes its way back to Base Camp via Banana Grove, and the expansive high plains that are the signature of the Chimanimani.
Maps are available locally to pinpoint all these worthwhile locations. Watch out! As with all mountain environments, the weather is unpredictable and disorientation possible. Keep your wits about you as you walk, and make sure you have logged your direction if you strike out off the trail. The Chimanimani National Park is located along the frontier with Mozambique. Without expert local guidance it is very unwise to wander into Mozambique. Seek advice locally before you consider this.
Otherwise welcome to this paradise in the

Peter BaxterBorn in Kenya, a product of the British Colonial Service, Peter spent his formative years in Mutare, prior to
becoming an accomplished mountain guide establishing “The Chimanimani Bushwalking Company” that pioneered single and multi-day guided trips into the mountains during the halcyon tourist days of the '90s.
Peter is a published writer with a focus on African history; his book “Rhodesia – Last Outpost of the British Empire 1890-1980” (Galago April 2010) provides a fascinating chronicle of the events and personalities that shaped the country from conception to independence.
As a guide of considerable repute, Peter's services have been engaged to lead expeditions to scale Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzori (Mountains of the Moon) and Drakensburg Mountains.
Peter now lives in America where he continues to write. For more information visit www.peterbaxter.com

The Computer Society of Zimbabwe (CSZ) was founded in 1974 with one objective, that of benefitting the Computer Industry and all people who work in it. The Society’s aims were to educate the general public on the use and development of Electronic Data Processing, today more widely known as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It set itself up to bring people using computers together, to set up standards within the industry and to promote computers and their use in scientific and commercial environments. Since its formation, CSZ has indeed played a leading role in ICT development, creating public awareness and focussing on education, professionalism and advising Government and other national bodies.Role in EducationAs early as 1975, CSZ was responsible for the introduction of the first Computer Studies Diploma at the Harare and Bulawayo Polytechnics – the diploma was the fore-runner to the current HND. The first lecturers and examiners were all drawn from the CSZ membership, eventually being replaced by fulltime college staff. Originally the students were confined to those actually working in the industry but with the advent of PCs in the 1980s there was a far wider demand for training and education, and the society reacted accordingly by running its own courses and starting an accreditation scheme for bona fide training providers.
Turning its attention to the schools, and especially the rural schools, CSZ partnered with World Links, a World Bank sponsored organisation which established ICT training centres in all provinces of the country. Since 1999, CSZ has been administering the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) in an endeavour to promote the level of computer literacy and operating competency nation-wide. ICDL has proved very popular with more than 55 000 individuals in Zimbabwe undergoing the training and certification, and now offers employers an international standard by which they can validate computer skills of all PC users throughout their organisations. Worldwide, over eleven million people have
participated in the ICDL. More recently a junior version of the ICDL, known as eLearner, has been introduced into primary schools. ProfessionalismCSZ sets standards for its members, not only for their own benefit, but also to give assurance to those who employ, or retain their services. Members are graded according to educational achievement and experience and all are subject to a Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. There is a laid-down Complaints Procedure to deal with any perceived transgressions of the Codes and this applies not only to individual members but also to the Institutional Members. The latter are made up of corporates, parastatals, government departments, which being large users of ICT, have an interest in the welfare of the industry as a whole. Members also have the opportunity to attend an annual Summer School where they are updated by experts on various ICT-related topics and where they are able to share experiences with their peers in the industry. Naturally, CSZ encourages all employers to insist on membership for all their ICT staff and the public generally to only retain CSZ members for services rendered.

The 'Glossy' Starlings – Greater Blue-eared, Miombo Blue-eared and Cape Glossy – are a real problem when it comes to correct identification. Field guides used to – and some still do – talk about the number of rows of black spots on the wings, the size of the ear patch of the Greater Starling and Miombo Starling, and the bluer belly of the Greater Starling as opposed to the magenta of the Miombo Starling, etc. However, in the field, and particularly with novice bird watchers, these differences are at best, unreliable.
It used to be said that the Cape Glossy Starling was a green-sheened bird rather than blue-sheened as in the other two, but these iridescent creatures change colour with the angle of light! Not long ago, we tried to identify a silent starling at Mukuvisi Woodlands – it changed colour from blue to purplish to very green as we circled it! And, as for the belly colour, it was very difficult to define. Finally, it called “sqee-aar” - all was revealed; a Greater Starling. This harsh, querulous note is the best way to identify them, so learn the calls; the Miombo Starlingis colloquially called “wirri-girri” and this soft, mellifluous call is quite different and definitive.
The Cape Glossy Starling used to be frequently recorded in Harare, but seldom is these days. Have they diminished because of habitat changes, or is it rather a case of better identification? A good look at the Cape Starling will show it has no ear patch, but again, a good long look at different angles is needed to be quite sure you are not missing – or seeing – one.
The Greater Starling is one of the most common Harare birds and is seen all over the city. The Miombo Starling, however, is quite restricted in the city, but has been seen quite regularly at Mukuvisi Woodlands where they breed. Their russet juveniles are another good way of telling them apart after they have bred.
To see the Cape Starling, try dry woodlands and acacia. For a real close-up view, try the Nyamandhlovu platform in Hwange National Park, which brings them nose to nose as they beg for titbits.

Celery is low in calories and carbohydrates, has no fat or cholesterol, and is a good source of dietary fibre. You can add celery to salads or stir-fry vegetables, or you can enjoy it as a snack with peanut butter.
Fennel is a plant that looks very much like celery, but it has a faint licorice taste. It has health benefits that are similar to those of celery, as it is a good source of fibre, has no fat and is low in calories. Fennel is often roasted as a vegetable or added raw to salads. It can also be used in risotto, chicken and fish recipes.

Developing thinking skills
2322Issue No 38 - April 2013 Issue No 38 - April 2013
To a large extent, our world is centred around technology and information.
The ability for educated people to obtain, make sense of and utilise new information is thought, by some educators to be more important for the future than gaining specific knowledge.
It is important that parents and teachers develop in children, the ability to think creatively, to analyse, synthesise, apply and evaluate information, as these are the skills needed for both today and for the future.
The teaching of thinking skills provides children with structures that develop skills in problem-solving, creative thinking and higher-level thinking. It gives children the means of linking different areas of knowledge and develops skills that can be applied across all curriculum areas.
How can thinking skills be taught?Thinking skills can be taught in conjunction with some form of knowledge base - as part of an existing curriculum, theme, unit etc… or as specific skills which are then applied to the curriculum or a combination of both.
A posit ive home and classroom environment is very important for recognising and nurturing any developing skill. Children must feel accepted, feel free to express ideas and thoughts without fear of ridicule or rejection and feel free to take risks. Ideas need to be encouraged and valued. Other attributes of a positive home and classroom climate include high expectations, warmth and encouragement

By learning to relate to other children and adults, by manipulating objects and learning to cope in social situations, children can construct ideas, try out new ones and accept or reject what they learn.

Sometimes, when studying, you find that you have sat in the
same place for hours, trying to revise, but understanding and remembering very little. Maybe the problem is you are not sitting in the right place?
A good study environment is as important as the studying itself. Imagine you are a very clean person and you are made to live in a messy house. The effect is much the same when you sit with your best intentions to study, but the moment you sit down to study, the fragrance of the biscuits being baked in the kitchen seems to overpower you, or the sounds of the children playing in the garden outside thwart your best efforts to resist temptation. The problem is that you are in the wrong place. So how is a good study environment created? Here are a few pointers that will help.
A Fresh Mind and Positive Attitude: Yesterday is over, and there is no point wallowing in what you did or did not do. Start afresh and do your best not to think about falling behind with your study timetable. Do as much as you can and forget the rest.
A Quiet Place: Imagine a wedding with alot of noise or a crowded bus or an
emergency waiting room, and now place yourself bang in the middle of these scenarios with a book and pen. Ridiculous? Exactly. There is no point trying to
study where you are going to be in the middle of noise and chaos. Find a quiet place and play some soft music in the background through your earphones to soothe and calm your nerves. It also helps to drown out other small noises that may distract you, and music helps to create your own “zone”.
Cheerful and Breezy: Choose a cool, airy place, with sufficient ventilation.

Up to 30% of Zimbabweans suffer from low-grade mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. However, psychiatric care is a luxury for the vast majority of Zimbabweans - it is estimated there is 1 psychiatrist for every 2 million people.
In 2006, a Zimbabwean psychiatrist called Dr Dixon Chibanda, decided to create an organisation to try and deal with these issues. The organisation, called the Friendship Bench, has been operating at Mbare clinic since then. It aims to assist people with low-income, suffering from depression and anxiety.
The Friendship Bench trained lay health workers at Mbare Clinic in basic counselling skills and placed a wooden bench in the grounds of the clinic. This bench – the Friendship Bench – was made available to anyone from the surrounding community to sit and receive counselling from one of the lay health workers.
Due to the fact that this innovative idea is low-cost and effective, the initiative has received funding from Grand Challenge Canada to scale up the trial to 20 clinics in Harare. It is our vision to have a Friendship Bench in every clinic in Zimbabwe.
Through conducting this phase of the project, the Friendship Bench realised that many of the people suffering from depression had no source of income or role to play in life. Dr Chibanda searched for an income-generating project until one day his
grandmother suggested crocheting bags from old plastic. In this way, Zee BAGS was born.
Zee BAGS currently generates income for 14 people who crochet old
plastic bags into colourful shopping baskets and fun hand-bags. The old plastic bags are bought from Pomona Dump, or supplied by school children from St Christopher's. Recently, Zee BAGS has started to buy reworked plastic from a company

Pathways Autism Trust is an independent not-for-profit organisation established in November 2012, under the laws of Zimbabwe, with a vision to provide therapeutic care and education for children on the autism spectrum in Zimbabwe.
Autism is a complex developmental disability characterised by marked deficits in communication and social interaction, and unusual repetitive behaviour. Affected children often cannot communicate verbally, have sensory and cognitive challenges, may be hyper active and may appear locked “in their own world”.
What makes our organisation unique, is that the 5 Founder Trustees of Pathways Autism Trust, are parents of children on the autism spectrum who passionately have the interests of affected children in the community at heart. Each of us deals with the realities of the condition hands-on in our day to day lives.
At the core of its vision, Pathways Autism Trust wishes to establish a specialised, multi-purpose educational and therapeutic facility in Harare (Pathways Autism Centre of Excellence) to cater for the needs of affected children on the autism spectrum in Zimbabwe, and is accordingly raising awareness, mobilising support and fundraising towards the realisation of this goal.
We are currently approaching and appealing to corporates, churches, individuals, NGOs, the private and public sector and individual members of the community to assist our organisation or partner with us to help us realise these objectives for our children that
have been sidelined in obtaining appropriate education and health facilities in line with their condition.
World Autism Day falls on the 2nd of April this year. April the 2nd was declared in perpetuity
by the United Nations as World Autism Awareness Day in 2007. To honour World Autism Awareness Day this year, Pathways Autism Trust will be spreading autism awareness through various media platforms.

The Welsh Society of Harare is one of Zimbabwe's most
vibrant, cultural kindred societies. Founded in 1894, the Society not only promotes what Wales as a country does now, has done in the past, and plans to do in the future, it also enables anyone with a connection to Wales - by birth, marriage, education or who simply just has an affection for the country - to enjoy the varied events organised throughout the year.
The Welsh National Day, St. David’s Day, was recently celebrated with a dinner dance held at the Hellenic Club. It was a sold-out success, attracting a broad spectrum of guests, Zimbabweans of all races, together with many other nationalities, Scottish, English and Irish, and also those here on postings with the UN, Embassies and NGOs from Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia.
With a unique Welsh menu, superbly cooked by Irene Verghis, wonderful singing by members of the Phoenix Choir, who also sang the Welsh National Anthem in Welsh, and dancing till 2am, it was an event not to be missed. Such was the success of the evening that 12 of the 106 guests promptly joined as members! The Society was delighted to have as Guest of Honour the Austrian Honorary Consul,
Dr Milan Djordjevic, who gave
a most witty and interesting speech.
Another major event in the annual Welsh calendar is the Prince of Wales birthday celebration. Last November, this was held at

When people hear the word “venom”, images of dangerous
snakes immediately race through their minds. It is hard to believe that animals, or should I say, creatures that are armed with this weapon are everywhere and we just do not realise it. Bees, wasps, spiders, scorpions and some fish are all armed with venom and I have not even mentioned snakes yet.
Venom is the term referring to any variety of toxins used by certain animals to inject into their victims. Just as a bullet is fired from the barrel of a gun, venom is delivered by the means of a bite or sting. Venom is a sticky substance which can be opaque or yellow in colour. Unlike poisons that need to be eaten or breathed in, venom is usually injected directly into the blood, where it plays havoc on various parts of the body. Venom has different potency levels and, reverting back to snakes, this means that different snake species have different levels of venom potency.
In Zimbabwe the number of venomous snakes is not very high. We have approximately seventy six species of snakes and only twelve are considered dangerous to man. According to the hospitals that I have visited in Harare during my research, snake bites are not on the top list of emergencies. In fact, the average person is more likely to be involved in a car accident than be bitten by a
snake.Howe
ver, it is not impossible and if you are bitten, the first thing to
realise is that even a venomous snake does not always inject poison with every bite. That would explain why some people claim they can cure any bite from any snake using herbs or roots. This is known as a dry bite. When a snake strikes out at an intruder or a person who has disturbed it,

it just means that it is trying to intimidate them with little or no venom released, however if the attacker ignores the snakes threat behaviour the snake may deliver a full dose of venom.
When you are suddenly confronted by a snake bite emergency, the most important thing of all is to keep very calm. It is of extreme importance that the person who has been bitten is kept positive, that the people around him/her do not panic and that they act in a calm, controlled manner - the human mind can do shocking things to its own body. Serious symptoms can appear even if the snake has not injected any venom at all. This is when a person is likely to go into shock and the fear they may experience can cause problems for hospital staff.
In the event of true envenomation, a victim who is prone to panic attacks will certainly make the problem worse because an increased heart rate means the venom is being pumped around the body faster. The victim should be carried to the car and the body part that has been bitten should remain lower than the heart. Tight bandages should not be applied by an unqualified person as they can cause serious problems especially when the

To a large extent, our world is centred around technology and information.
The ability for educated people to obtain, make sense of and utilise new information is thought, by some educators to be more important for the future than gaining specific knowledge.
It is important that parents and teachers develop in children, the ability to think creatively, to analyse, synthesise, apply and evaluate information, as these are the skills needed for both today and for the future.
The teaching of thinking skills provides children with structures that develop skills in problem-solving, creative thinking and higher-level thinking. It gives children the means of linking different areas of knowledge and develops skills that can be applied across all curriculum areas.
How can thinking skills be taught?Thinking skills can be taught in conjunction with some form of knowledge base - as part of an existing curriculum, theme, unit etc… or as specific skills which are then applied to the curriculum or a combination of both.
A posit ive home and classroom environment is very important for recognising and nurturing any developing skill. Children must feel accepted, feel free to express ideas and thoughts without fear of ridicule or rejection and feel free to take risks. Ideas need to be encouraged and valued.

With a unique Welsh menu, superbly cooked by Irene Verghis, wonderful singing by members of the Phoenix Choir, who also sang the Welsh National Anthem in Welsh, and dancing till 2am, it was an event not to be missed. Such was the success of the evening that 12 of the 106 guests promptly joined as members! The Society was delighted to have as Guest of Honour the Austrian Honorary Consul,
Dr Milan Djordjevic, who gave
a most witty and interesting speech.
Another major event in the annual Welsh calendar is the Prince of Wales birthday celebration. Last November, this was held at

When people hear the word “venom”, images of dangerous
snakes immediately race through their minds. It is hard to believe that animals, or should I say, creatures that are armed with this weapon are everywhere and we just do not realise it. Bees, wasps, spiders, scorpions and some fish are all armed with venom and I have not even mentioned snakes yet.
Venom is the term referring to any variety of toxins used by certain animals to inject into their victims. Just as a bullet is fired from the barrel of a gun, venom is delivered by the means of a bite or sting. Venom is a sticky substance which can be opaque or yellow in colour. Unlike poisons that need to be eaten or breathed in, venom is usually injected directly into the blood, where it plays havoc on various parts of the body. Venom has different potency levels and, reverting back to snakes, this means that different snake species have different levels of venom potency.
In Zimbabwe the number of venomous snakes is not very high. We have approximately seventy six species of snakes and only twelve are considered dangerous to man. According to the hospitals that I have visited in Harare during my research, snake bites are not on the top list of emergencies. In fact, the average person is more likely to be involved in a car accident than be bitten by a
snake.Howe
ver, it is not impossible and if you are bitten, the first thing to
realise is that even a venomous snake does not always inject poison with every bite. That would explain why some people claim they can cure any bite from any snake using herbs or roots. This is known as a dry bite. When a snake strikes out at an intruder or a person who has disturbed it,

it just means that it is trying to intimidate them with little or no venom released, however if the attacker ignores the snakes threat behaviour the snake may deliver a full dose of venom.
When you are suddenly confronted by a snake bite emergency, the most important thing of all is to keep very calm. It is of extreme importance that the person who has been bitten is kept positive, that the people around him/her do not panic and that they act in a calm, controlled manner - the human mind can do shocking things to its own body. Serious symptoms can appear even if the snake has not injected any venom at all. This is when a person is likely to go into shock and the fear they may experience can cause problems for hospital staff.
In the event of true envenomation, a victim who is prone to panic attacks will certainly make the problem worse because an increased heart rate means the venom is being pumped around the body faster. The victim should be carried to the car and the body part that has been bitten should remain lower than the heart. Tight bandages should not be applied by an unqualified person as they can cause serious problems especially when the

Guarding our temples, adorning our flags, decorating our coins and
capturing our hearts, the lion is beyond doubt, one of the world's most iconic species. On almost every continent, and in thousands of cultures, the lion can be found demonstrating man's fascination with this magnificent beast. Despite the lions' symbolic importance throughout the ages, today they are suffering from a silent extinction across Africa and India. Knowledge of the King of Beasts' plight is little known. World Lion Day, being held on 10th August, is the first global campaign to celebrate the importance of the lion worldwide. Since the dawn of man, the lion has played an integral role in our lives: symbolically, religiously, culturally, economically and biologically. To lose the lion from our world would be to lose part of our global heritage.
World Lion Day is an independent campaign with the aim of raising
awareness of the need for urgent action to save the lion from extinction. The campaign makes no attempt to highlight or preclude particular approaches to lion conservation, but rather seeks to attract attention and support to the many individuals and organisations that are working towards a shared vision: to ensure the future of the species. The African LionNothing quite epitomises the wildness of the 'dark continent' better than the African lion. For hundreds of years, the lion has captivated visitors to this ancient land. Over millennia, lions have been at the centre of African mythology and folklore across the continent, and today, continue to influence Africa on a monumental scale. A ruling member of the 'Big 5', the lion is often the most sought after animal by tourists. Tens of millions of visitors are drawn to Africa every year by the allure of
discovering the magnificent beast with the large black mane, bellowing his roar across the grassy plains.
Once ranging far and wide across the continent, the lion has since been lost from over 80% of its possible range, in just 50 years. In 1975, there was an estimated 250,000 lions in Africa, yet today the wide population stands at a mere 25 – 30,000 individuals. This staggering

Recent studies have shown lions exist in 67 areas across Africa; but only 9 countries have at least 1000 individuals and 5 countires are thought to have lost their populations entirely. Since the recognition of 86 Lion Conservation Units in 2006, following the IUCN Regional Lion Conservation Workshops, 18 have been declared extinct in countries such as Mali, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Malawi. In West and Central Africa, populations are deemed 'Regionally Critically Endangered'; the remaining c. 2800 individuals continue to decline at an alarming rate.
In Kenya, a country so nostalgic of the regal lion and still considered a top wildlife destination; lions are perishing by approximately 100 individuals each year due to severe human-wildlife conflict. Lion conservationists fear that lions could become extinct in the country within a matter of years. The Asiatic LionThe deep jungles of India are famed for their strange and wonderful beasts; the Bengal tiger, the Pygmy elephant and the Indian rhino, but hidden in the small Gir Forest National Reserve of Gujarat State, lives the little known, Asiatic lion.
The Asiatic lion has quite distinct physical characteristics such as prominent tufts of hair on their elbows and at the end
of the i r t a i l s .
What
is most notable is their size in comparison to the African lion. Asiatic lions are significantly smaller than African lions and the males often have smaller, sparser manes. Such features were once thought to have derived from thousands of years of evolution; however, recent studies have suggested intense inbreeding over recent generations has resulted in such characteristics.
Once found roaming across India and the Middle East, the Asiatic lion population was decimated to just 13 individuals around 1907, fol lowing years of persecution by trophy hunters. By 1975, after the banning of hunting, the species was awarded protection and the population rose to a meagre 185 lions. In the last three decades, the population has risen from the brink of extinction into a conservation success story to around 411 individuals today. The expansion of the population's range into the neighbouring Girnar Forest has also increased the lion's habitat from
2 21,883km to c. 10,000km .Despite a slow, but promising,
population increase an estimated 50 lions die annually due to a variety of threats. Due to the incredibly small and isolated nature of the entire population, a natural environmental disaster such as the outbreak of a single epidemic disease, a severe drought or major bush fire could see the extinction of this sub-species. World Lion DayLeading up to the day itself, the World Lion Day campaign is generating support for individuals and organisations in both Africa and India that are working tirelessly for the conservation of lions. On the 10th August
2013 itself, it is hoped that events marking the day will be held across the globe that will help to raise awareness and funds for this vital work to continue. And in the year leading up to the next World Lion Day, we hope that the world's citizens will continue to support lion conservation efforts.

The Borrowdale Country Club is nestled at the far end of Carrick Creagh Road. It is a bit of a rocky ride as the road is in need of tender loving care, but once you turn left into the gate, you are in for a very pleasant surprise.
To the right of the Club House, is the bowling green which overlooks a stunning view of the area. Bowls can be played Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays and new comers are more than welcome. The bowls team are a very friendly crowd.
The Club House itself has a very accommodating bar with a wide range of drink selections. On cold winter evenings, there is a wood fire burning. There are two pool tables and three dart boards with cues and darts available on request. The verandah overlooking the bowling green is very pleasant on a warm day to sit and watch the players.
The tennis section has its own bar and seating. Tennis is played on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with players from all over Harare competing against each other. They too welcome new players at any time.
The Polocross section is a new addition to the Club, and as soon as the grounds are organised, we look forward to the first games.
There is a swimming pool and playground for the children. Although children are not allowed in the bar area, there is a large room with seating and some game activities to occupy them.
The Borrowdale Country Club is a members Club but there are facilities for day visitors. There is always food available from the menu and on a Wednesday a special meal of the day is served. The Sunday lunch is very popular and usually offers a choice of two roasts.
The Clubs opens on a Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and often on a Friday if there is a special function. On the last Friday evening of every month, the extremely popular ‘Pub Quiz’ is held and

every second Friday evening a Bingo Night. The Club is hired out for functions at a very reasonable rate.
So why not take that bumpy road and see for yourself – it's worth it you know.

hroughout the world, numerous styles of Thand and foot fighting have been developed, each of which reflects the needs of the time and the varying historical and cultural background of the country where they originated. In China - Kung Fu or Taiqiquan; India - Selambam; France - Savate; Japan - Judo, Aikido, Karate, Jujitsu; Malaysia - Bosilat; Thailand - Muay Thai; Russia - Samba; Brazil - Capoeira, and so on. Korea is the cradle of Taekwondo and General Choi Hong Hi is its founder. He founded the International Taekwondo Federation on March 22, 1966.
Put simply, Taekwondo is a version of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self defence. Translated literally “TAE” stands for jumping or flying, to kick or smash with the foot, “KWON” denotes the fist, chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. “DO” means an art or way - the right way, built and paved by the saints and sages in the past. Thus, taken collectively, Taekwondo indicates the mental training and the techniques of unarmed combat for self defence, as well as health, involving the
skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges with bare hands and feet for the rapid destruction of a moving opponent or multiple attackers.
As Taekwondo is an art of self defence, which aims at a noble, moral re-armament, high degree of intellectual achievement, graceful techniques, formidable power and beauty of physical form, it can be considered as a part of one's daily life. General CHOI Hong Hi, defined its philosophy, principles and purposes so that these might be applied to bring about the flowering of morality, beauty and power in harmony with the immortal spirit.
The International Taekwondo Federation exists to promote and encourage the growth of Taekwondo worldwide. The philosophical values of Taekwondo are firmly rooted in the Tradition and Culture of the Orient. On the technical side, defensive and offensive tactics are based on the principals of physics, particularly Newton's Law, which explains how to generate maximum force by increasing speed and mass during the execution of a movement. Since the beginning, Taekwondo has not stopped evolving and over 30 million people practise the art in more than 156 countries around the world.

calibre here with us was, indeed, an unforgettable experience. Zimbabwe was represented at the 11 World Championship in Argentina in 1999 by Mr Martin, who is now an International instructor. To compliment this, Zimbabwe was chosen to be the interim chair of The International Martial Arts. For all Zimbabwean Taekwons, this spelt the beginning of the Martial Art.
At The National Sports Stadium Independence Celebrations in April, a team of Zimbabwean Taekwons, trained by Master Sin, put on a spectacular, though brief, display. It has been a rare privilege to work with Master Sin and Zimbabweans will forever be indebted to him for his dedication. What awaits us now is the challenge of spreading the teachings of Taekwondo.
The art, which had been practised by a few before his arrival, coalesced into a dynamic movement that spread like wildfire with students of all ages - young, old, men, women and children joining. Clubs across the country opened with Black belt holders who graduated, opening up their own clubs (Dojangs).
A National team was formed with the best of the best selected from club tournaments and sent to South Africa in 2003 for the Regional Championships. The team consisting of Ricardo Batista, Lawson Dzenga, George Paulser, Eugene Johnson, Patrick Nyanyiwa and Declan, under the experienced coaching of Lee Khan, did the country proud by bringing back 4 gold and 2 silver medals.
In September 2004, Lee Khan attended the United States Michigan open Taekwondo Championships, where he attained a Gold medal in the Senior Middle weight sparring category.
From 2006-2009, Taekwondo suffered setbacks, with the majority of Black belt Instructors immigrating to various countries. In
Combined Jujitsu and Taekwondo Seminar held at Hillside Dojo, 2003

2010, Taekwondo was resuscitated and thereafter began the process of rebuilding the art by opening up new clubs within various schools and localities in Harare and in the provinces. The Zimbabwe International Taekwondo Association formed a dynamic team with a vision to take Taekwondo into the 22nd Century.

calibre here with us was, indeed, an unforgettable experience. Zimbabwe was represented at the 11 World Championship in Argentina in 1999 by Mr Martin, who is now an International instructor. To compliment this, Zimbabwe was chosen to be the interim chair of The International Martial Arts. For all Zimbabwean Taekwons, this spelt the beginning of the Martial Art.
At The National Sports Stadium Independence Celebrations in April, a team of Zimbabwean Taekwons, trained by Master Sin, put on a spectacular, though brief, display. It has been a rare privilege to work with Master Sin and Zimbabweans will forever be indebted to him for his dedication. What awaits us now is the challenge of spreading the teachings of Taekwondo.
The art, which had been practised by a few before his arrival, coalesced into a dynamic movement that spread like wildfire with students of all ages - young, old, men, women and children joining. Clubs across the country opened with Black belt holders who graduated, opening up their own clubs (Dojangs).
A National team was formed with the best of the best selected from club tournaments and sent to South Africa in 2003 for the Regional Championships. The team consisting of Ricardo Batista, Lawson Dzenga, George Paulser, Eugene Johnson, Patrick Nyanyiwa and Declan, under the experienced coaching of Lee Khan, did the country proud by bringing back 4 gold and 2 silver medals.
In September 2004, Lee Khan attended the United States Michigan open Taekwondo Championships, where he attained a Gold medal in the Senior Middle weight sparring category.
From 2006-2009, Taekwondo suffered setbacks, with the majority of Black belt Instructors immigrating to various countries. In
Combined Jujitsu and Taekwondo Seminar held at Hillside Dojo, 2003

2010, Taekwondo was resuscitated and thereafter began the process of rebuilding the art by opening up new clubs within various schools and localities in Harare and in the provinces. The Zimbabwe International Taekwondo Association formed a dynamic team with a vision to take Taekwondo into the 22nd Century. Currently, the association is re-branding and carrying out outreach programmes to develop Taekwondo from grass roots level.

Since its small beginnings in 2000, Rokpa Support Network has concentrated on helping the most vulnerable and needy people: children with disabilities and their parents, orphans and their carers, the destitute and chronically ill. As many people as possible are provided with self-help skills, such as positive living for those with HIV, small business training and low-cost growing of nutritious vegetables and herbs. Rokpa has also given direct material aid where possible and provide medical assistance through a voucher scheme.
Surveys estimate that a quarter of all children in Zimbabwe have lost one or both parents. Such children are largely without proper family care, and those in their extended families who become caregivers often lack the support and ability to take on their new role. Children with disabilities are not spared. In the majority of cases, they live in single parent or grandparent-headed and sometimes child-headed households. Children in schools in most high-density suburbs also face challenges, for example, having no space to do their homework. In many cases, a family will be renting one or two rooms with inadequate space for study.
‘The Better Lives for Children in Need Project’ is aimed at helping disadvantaged children or those with disabilities. The objectives of the project
By Wiseman Muganiri, Pictures are courtesy of ROKPA Support Network
are to provide the existing parent-to-parent (P P) support groups with relief day 2
care facilities and training to help them better provide food for their children and meet their other needs. To provide vulnerable children with educational support, i.e. set up after-school study centres, targeting those in the high-density suburbs of Chitungwiza and Harare.
The project is being piloted in Chitungwiza, where Rokpa has a centre. The project aims at enabling parents and other caregivers to take turns in caring and having time to work for their families. They will receive training in permaculture; already a group of mothers with disabled children have garden plots at the centre where they grow vegetables organically for their families, selling any surplus.
The project aspires to change the attitudes of other children towards those with disabilities through early integration. Children in school will be given space and time to do homework/study at the centre. In addition, sports and arts coaching, for example, football, music with traditional dance and drama will be offered.
Some funding for this project has been donated locally and some from small groups in Canada, but more is required.

n the event that a loved one, friend or Ico-worker is seriously injured, the immediate actions taken by trained bystanders can often mean the difference between life and death. Studies show that immediate, appropriate, intervention during the first hour following serious injury, 'The Golden Hour', can have a significant impact on the casualties chances of survival.
Always call on ambulances and expert advice, trying to move a casualty yourself can sometimes worsen the situation, but while an ambulance is on its way, the few simple tips below could help you to make the difference between their living or dying.
(These tips are not a substitute for First Aid training. Attend a first aid course and get qualified).
Motor Vehicles Accidents: Make the scene of the accident as visible as possible: wear reflective clothing, use breakdown triangles. Unless the patient has an airway obstruction, do not remove casualties from the motor vehicles if you suspect a spinal injury. Try to stop or slow any bleeding and call an ambulance. First aid is a skill requiring training and practice. When giving first aid it is vital that you assess the situation and that you take care not to become a casualty yourself. While administering first aid, use protective clothing and equipment where necessary.
Initial Assessment: Check whether the casualty is conscious. If the casualty is unconscious or semi-conscious check the mouth for any obstruction and if present remove them and open the airway by

tilting the head back and lifting the chin using the tips of two fingers. If the casualty has stopped breathing and you are competent to give CPR, do so, otherwise, send for help without hesitation. In most urban settings, expert help should be available fairly quickly, however, if you have an unconscious casualty it is vital that his or her airway is kept clear. If you find it difficult to keep the airway open, you may need to turn the casualty into the recovery position by turning them onto their left side.
Wounds and Bleeding: Open wounds should be covered, after putting on gloves. Apply a dressing from a first aid kit over the wound and press firmly on top of it with your hands or fingers. The pad should be tied firmly in place. If the bleeding continues, another dressing should be placed on top, do not remove the original dressing. If the wound is on an extremity and bleeding persists, elevate the injured limb.
Minor Injuries: Minor injuries of the sort which the injured person would treat at home, can be treated from the contents of
a first aid kit. The casualty should wash his or her hands and apply a dressing to protect the wound and prevent infection. Wounds should be
kept dry and clean.
Suspected broken bones: If a broken bone is suspected do not move casualties unless they are in a position which exposes them to immediate danger. Immobilise the broken bone if possible.
Special Hazards: Electrical and gassing accidents can occur in the workplace or home. You must assess the danger to yourself first, do not attempt any assistance until you are sure it is safe to do so. If the casualty has stopped breathing and you are competent to give artificial ventilation and cardiac resuscitation, do so. Otherwise, send for help without delay.
When phoning an ambulance service stay on the line with the dispatcher if possible. Many ambulance services have the ability to give advice and guidance while the ambulance is en route.

Scientists in Zimbabwe say a fresh water crayfish brought from Australia is breeding out of control in the northern Lake Kariba, devouring the food sources of other fish, and putting the nation's entire aquatic ecosystem at risk. Officials at the
Zimbabwe University lakeshore research station say the red claw crayfish, introduced a decade ago for a fish farming project, has no natural predators in the wild - crocodiles do not feed on them - and they produce clusters of eggs up to half the size of a tennis ball that hatch prolifically. The red claw crayfish, scientifically
known as Cherax Quadricarinatus and also called the ‘yabby’ in Australia, is robust and hardy and cannot be poisoned without killing other natural species.
As a conservation drive, Musango Safari Camp is
launching a drive to eradicate the invasive species.

Mururu judge's decision is final and discussion may not be entered into.

There are two kinds of jackal found in Zimbabwe – the black-backed and the side-striped. Commonly regarded as scavengers and often treated as vermin, in our rescue and rehabilitation work we have had an opportunity to get to know another side to these clever, complex creatures.
Bart, a side-striped jackal pup, was found on the University of Zimbabwe campus and brought in to us. Handling him with care, bearing in mind the possibility of rabies (and sharp teeth), I was astonished when he hopped onto my lap, turned round twice like a dog settling in a basket and went to sleep. Both kinds of jackals are found in the urban areas of Harare, such as around the Botanical Gardens, in the wetlands and on golf courses, so Bart may have been a wild orphan or an abandoned or escaped pet. Bart grew into a magnificent specimen with the grey-brown, wiry coat and darker stripes along his torso that give the species their name.
The white tip on their magnificent bushy tails is an easy way to determine the difference between a side-striped and a black-backed jackal. Side-striped jackals are omnivores and eat anything from mice to fruit. Bart was partial to Marie biscuits. (Photo above). He formed an extraordinary friendship with our Serval cat, Smeegal – a relationship that would be out of the question in the wild as the two species would be in competition for food. The two would play agile games of chase, and groom each other intensively. They ate together and slept curled up beside each other.
When a young, female side-striped jackal came in as a rescue, she and Bart paired up immediately, but still spent time with their Serval friend. A year later, Sophia and Bart were successfully released back into the wild, where they belong; having made our lives richer for the time we spent with them.
Black-backed jackals are rather more predatory and are the usual suspects in the killing of young livestock, which l e a d s t o t h e i r c o n t i n u e d persecut ion by farmers. They prey on young or sick antelope and play an important p a r t i n o u r ecosystem as they eliminate weaker animals and clean up kill sites after larger predators have had their fill. They also hunt smaller prey such as rodents and insects, and, if food is scarce, they will eat wild fruits. The black 'saddle' on their back gives them their name. Their distinctive howling call is a familiar sound in the bush as they communicate with each other, alerting other jackals to the presence of large predators or calling up reinforcements at kill sites.
Black-backed jackals pair for life and can have up to six pups in a litter. They are commonly regarded as vermin and the fear of rabies means their adaptability, complex social skills and beauty are overlooked. The black-backed jackals we have rescued have been successfully released and have never responded positively to human interaction, even as pups remaining wary and skittish as if their long history of persecution by humans makes them naturally suspicious of people.

Sarah Carter and her dedicated team of staff and volunteers are currently creating a new rescue and rehabilitation centre called the
Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary. This is situated on 70 acres of indigenous woodland
in Arcturus. A safe haven for rescued wildlife, farm animals and birds, the Twala Trust will be home to everything from lions
and meerkats to donkeys and owls. Conservation education for school children from all walks of life will be a major focus
and a free mobile veterinary clinic will operate from Twala to benefit the local
community. If you would like to know more about this project, please contact Sarah on

Have you ever wondered what those numbers on the bottom of your plastic drink bottles mean? These little numbers with the arrows around them are found on most plastic products ranging from food storage containers, laundry detergent bottles and shopping bags to household appliances.
The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI) introduced this resin identification coding system in 1988 in an effort to help recycling centres in the US effectively separate the different types of plastics for recycling. Since then, this system has been adopted and used worldwide.
Research has shown that the materials numbered 1 to 6, are the 6 most commonly used plast ic materials in the world, used to produce many of the products we see around us. Number 7 represents all other types of plastics material.
C o n t r a r y t o m a n y m i s -conceptions about this symbol, the number does NOT represent: how many times the product has been recycled, quality rating of a product (1 is good, 7 is bad) or which number is safe for storing food and which is not.
What are these numbers?
lastic is used in wide range of things. It is Pproduced on a bulk scale and its convenience is undeniable. In today's world, plastic is in almost everything, from bits of shoes to parts on a space rocket. Almost every NEW thing you buy is wrapped in plastic and then handed to you in a PLASTIC BAG.
The recycling of plastic is very important because it is made from crude oil, which causes the regular depletion of this limited resource. By recycling plastic, we can save oil. Moreover, recycling does not cause harm to the quality of plastics. The European community has recognised the environmental drawbacks of plastic, so they have adopted a Beverage Container Directive to save the raw materials and reduce its effect on environment. Zimbabwe is also having to step up to the mark and take care of its environment.
Plastics are found lying as waste on the roadsides, vleis and in our recreational areas etc. They are not biodegradable, so they do not decompose on their own and can harm the environment, as well as destroy the beauty of the place. There are two ways to deal with these problems: to use less plastic and to give the plastics to the recycling markets.
The most common type of plastic packaging we come across is the plastic bottle for water and soft drinks. These bottles cannot (and should not) be refilled, so the only way to re-use this plastic is to recycle it. Companies and plastic manufacturers should consider using plastics that can easily be recycled, as the disposal of plastic takes centuries to decompose and they end up lying stagnant in our landfills. If they are incinerated, toxic byproducts are released into the atmosphere.
Many of Zimbabwe's recycling companies are offering CASH FOR TRASH, so sorting and cleaning (free of food contamination) plastics at source is imperative. Environment Africa are retailing labeled and coloured bin liners to make the sorting of one's waste a little easier. Drop off centres are listed on page 56.

he National Association of Garden TClubs Council Member, Neels Scott, having won several international awards at Flower Shows, decided to remain on the international stage and entered the Chelsea Flower Show, a yearly highlight in the United Kingdom.
Entries have to be submitted well in advance and neither a slot nor title are guaranteed. Neels entered for “Diversity” which is an island exhibit on a circular platform - 1.22m in diameter and 15cm from the floor. He was awarded his chosen title and was allocated the first session. This meant staging from morning through to the evening on the given day. The exhibit was named “FUTURE COLONISATION”.
Once the entry is accepted, one needs to organise tickets, accommodation and the transport of the plant material. The Northwood Garden Club, to which Neels belongs, were able to fundraise and pay for his ticket, for which he was very grateful.
In order to comply with strict import controls, a three part process needs to be completed for the transport of plant materials. A clearance certificate from the Forestry Commission is needed to ensure none of the plants are on the CITES list. Fumigation is done and then a sample and list of the plants is taken to the Phytosanitry Department in Mazowe. Thanks go to Morag Flight for helping Neels through these procedures.
Neels started to plan his design and, with his love of palms, chose 3 different palms - a queen palm spathe which was manipulated and cut to shape, matting from the coconut palm as well as phoenix reclinata leaves. Fresh plant material was chosen and numerous dummy runs were made until the design met his exacting standards.
Despite numerous fragile stickers, the wheels and the aluminium stand that held the design were damaged in transit and the correct materials then had to be sourced in London - not an easy task.
The scale of set up was immense
and awe inspiring. The fresh plant material taken over was Schefflera and that, in itself, was a challenge involving the longest ladders and poles with spikes. Other plant material was Cyperus, Yucca, and Aspidistra.
The design was constructed and result, breathtaking. After the judging, Neels WON GOLD for his piece. The National Association of Garden Clubs is very proud of their Council Member.

Dance,
The Rock Hyrax, also known as the Dassie, is a medium-sized terrestrial mammal resembling a guinea pig with short ears and tail. The closest living relatives to hyraxes are the modern day elephants because of similarities found in their feet and teeth. It is found across Africa and lives in rock crevices. Rock Hyraxes typically live in groups of 10 - 80 animals, and look for their food as a group.
Rock Hyraxes spend approximately 95% of their time resting and are most active in the morning and evening, they are often seen basking in the sun on rocks. Their most striking behaviour is the use of sentries: one or more animals take up position on a vantage point and issue alarm calls on the approach of predators. They are mostly preyed upon by eagles, caracal and leopards.
Rock Hyraxes have 4 toes on the front feet and 3 toes on the hind-feet. The toes all have nails, except the inner toe of the hind-foot, which has a curved grooming claw. The soles of the feet are naked, the skin thick and padded with glandular tissue which keeps the surface permanently moist to increase traction. This enables them to negotiate steep and smooth rock faces or to climb trees with agility.
The Rock Hyrax or Dassie (Procavia Capensis)
They feed on plant matter and prefer grass but will eat other plants during dry seasons. Even plants that are considered poisonous can be eaten by Rock Hyraxes during drought periods. They are also able to go for many days without water due to the moisture they obtain through their food.
Their young are born in litters of two to three young after a gestation period of six to seven months during the early summer months. Their fur is thick and grey-brown in colour, although this varies strongly between different environments; from dark brown in wetter habitats, to light grey in desert living individuals.
Rock Hyraxes are very noisy and sociable. The adults make use of at least 21 different vocal signals. The most familiar signal is a high trill, given in response to perceived danger. The Rock Hyrax also makes a loud grunting sound while moving its jaws as if chewing, and this behaviour may be a sign of aggression.
