The BSAP TrustWhat it is and what it does.

The Trust was set up in May 1987. It is a Registered Charity, having as its

objectives "to provide assistance and support to members of the United KingdomBranch of the British South Africa Police Regimental ~ation and their dependantswho are distre~ by sickness or poverty.

" The rule regarding assistance to UKbranch subscribers on/y is a legal requirement by HMRC. Failure to comply is likely toresult in a court appearance by the Trustees. For this reason alone it is not pmible tomake contributions to the welfare of the elderly in Zimbabwe, whatever ourhumanitarian instincts dictate.

in past years a large proportion of the Trust's outgoings have related to funeral

grants for deceased members. Though this support will continue, it was decided at arecent Trustees' meeting that the qualifying criteria needs to be reviewed as age andaccompanying frailty means that more members need help in their everyday lives. In

practice this now means that Trust funeral grants will in future be limited to cases ofsevere financial hardship.

In general, it has been found that a majority of assistance requests are indirect; theycome from friends, relatives and old comrades rather than the person concerned. If youknow of an ex member in dNiculty and feel that he/she doesn't want to make a direct

approach, usually for reasons of pride or self reliance, please pass the details on to yourAlmoner or a Trustee. All such requests are always dealt with in the strictestconfidence.

There are three Trustees, as required by the original setting up, and they are listed atthe back of this publication. In addition, there is an Almoner whose job it is to look into

requests for assistance and report back to the Trustees, who then decide onappropriate action. It should be said here that it is a p~uisite of any grant that therecipient makes a full disdosure of his/her financial circumstances. The Almoner is

supported by a network of asst almoners in the UK regions, all of whom are Iormermembers of the Force. Like the Trustees and the Almoner, all are volunteers.

The Trust is not intended as a replacement for the State benefit system and where~are available, for example Funeral Grants, they must be daimed before any Trustassistance can be considered, The Almoner can usually advise on how to daim.

DAVlD LEMON.

In his new book,

TWO WHEELS AND A TOKOLOSHE

XVho ts This' ?

AND where wts he'

Lemon tells the story of an 8000 kilometre

cyde ride from Nairobi to Cape Town. Arrested

twice, he was beaten up by armed soldiery,

mugged, suffeted amoebic dysentery and anumber of falls, but made many new friends

and enjoyed himself immensely,

Written in his own irreverently laconic ~,this is the second volume in Lemon's 'back to

reading for anyone with even a rrKxllcum of

adventure in their soul.

"invitation to Danger"A Tale of Tragedy and Romance.

The author Joy Madean also wrote 'The Guardians "(A history of the RhodesianNative Department) and 'V/hen the Going was Rough" (stories from the Rhodesian

Terrorist VVar in the 1970's) —published in 1974 and 1984,

Her third book, "Invitation to Danger - A Tale of Tragedy and Romance" also set inRhodesia/Zimbabwe, is a gripping heart-rending story of a Rhodesian family as they

lived through the perilous days of 1978and 1979when terrorists silently stalked throughthe wild bush, made ambushes, burned down farm houses, laid lethal landmines,

bombed buiidings and killing and torturing victims.This is an historical novel with a page turning fictitious detective story of murder, g~

and drug selling. This family became involved unravelling the mystery as they livedthrough the great historic effort by Rhodesians as they tried to save their country. It alsotells of the manipulations by fgures well known today for the political parts they playeddeliberately or unintentionally to bring Zimbabwe to power in 1980and complete ruin

today. Love and romance also winds through the story adding to poignancy of thecoilapse of Zimbabwe and how its effects were brought to this pioneer family and theirfarm. It is an example of many similar stories of so many Rhodesians and which make

one of the greatest shameful human tragedies in British history of this century,

4853 Fred PunterMr Turville Kille in Harare has been

liaising on behalf of the Public ServicePensioners' Association with theZimbabwe Dier for Pensions MrSylvester MnKandla and with HM Consulat the British Embassy Harare, Mr JohnMurphy. He has now reported that theDirector of Pensions is now seriouslyhoping to be able to pay a pensionallowance in US$ to pensioners residingoutside the country, whether they formally

emigrated from Zimbabwe or just left thecountry. There will be no back paybecause due to hyperintlabon in

Zimbabwe the value of pensions not paidsince 2003 has ~n wi~ out. TheBritish Consul in Harare who discussedthe scheme with the Director on istOctober has confirmed this information.

However, the Director has not yetobtained the necessary approval Rum the

Government.

In order for the Pensions Ofhce tocommence paying this allowance (if dulyauthorised), each pensioner must submitfour documents:1. CertNcate of Life;2. Additional Details (Details of mfvice,dates, Department etc)3. Bank instruction form (giving details ofthe bank account into which the pension

is to be paid);4. CertNed copy of the passport (thepage with your photograph).

Copies of the CertNcate of Life and thebank instruction form can be obtainedfrom the QSPA office:-OSPA (Zimbabwe Pensions)138High StreetTonbridgeKent TN9 1AXTe/: 01732 363836 (Int: +44 1732363836)Fax: 01732 365070 (Int: +44 1732365070)Email: mailoos pa.org. uk

Send your request by post, fax oremail and OSPA will send you the forms.Or FM Punter, fapunter@nttwortd. corncan send them to you as emailattachments.

Return the completed forms to theQSPA oIce for forwarding by ~remeans to the Government PensionsOnce. The Pensions Olce Directorhopes to be able to start makingpayments by December and that theywould be backdated to August.

Please note: OSPA cannot answerquestions about pension entitlement, orrelated queries. This applies to allpensioners in the UK and elsewhere,except South Africa where arrangementshave already been made.

ELEGY FOR A DESPOT

5/hat brought us to this place in time7This land so rich, with dreams so fineIts soaring mountains, blued with ageAnd peoples proud, once ffee, now

caged

How CBfl gfeat fivers„ faglng deep0'er granite rocks with falls that keep

A rainbow splashed on nature's pageCan these succumb to one man's rage7

Vast tawny plains, lush verdant farmsMsasas, spreading out their arms

To shade the noble lion's prideAnd shelter those who fought, and died

Can these be ground into the dustBecause of one man's power lust7Can peoples starve, and forests fall

Because ofle man Jus'I wants It Bll?

Stand strong, for this blight too shall passAnd leave no jot upon the grassThe twisted id of one sad man

Means nought to this eternal land

This country will survive, endureIts peoples strong, its pufpose pure

And all the despot's schemes, and plansWill join him 'neath Zimbabwe's sands.
