The Zebra Crossings have claimed another victim despite the fact that they have nearly all been repainted. This incident took place at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair crossing. In many countries motorists have to pause at zebra crossing regardless if there are pedestrians on the crossing or not. Should motorists not adhere to this law, they can be fined quite heavily. It has been seen that our local motorist often ignore the need to stop at zebra crossings and pedestrians have to leap out of the way to avoid being hit. Please motorists have a care for the safety of other people before you too kill or injure a friend or family member.

Bulawayo was once known as the tourist/industrial hub of Zimbabwe and whilst over recent years industry has taken a knock, it is heartening to know that it is now reviving, businesses as well as industry per se. Take for example, Turnall Fibre Cement, General Beltings, Archer Clothing and the building of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a $5 million bread plant by Bakers Inn in Belmont and others. Mine Entra showcased a number of companies manufacturing mining equipment.

Humble Pie, which is under new management, is situated opposite old Chitrin's in Jason Moyo Street/5th Ave. There is nothing 'humble' about these pies because they are delicious. Also new is the Red Cafe, so called because of its decor, in George Silundika Street. Medically Bulawayo is well served by virtue of the number of chemists, privately owned casualty units and hospitals which have opened in recent years.
