    PUBLICATION No. 38 MARCH, 1978 THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939 The founder of the Meikle Organisation sailed from Scotland with his parents in 1869. The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whisky cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED. Travel Centre Stanley Avenue P.O. Box 3598 Salisbury Charter House, at the corner of Jameson Avenue and Kings Crescent, was opened in 1958. The name Charter House was given by The British South Africa Company to its administrative offices. It is now the headquarters of the Anglo American Corporation Group in Rhodesia.

  • Zimbabwe-Attacks on Justice 2002-Publications-2002
    ZIMBABWE Zimbabwe was in deep political and economic crisis following the onset of a violent campaign in 2000 led by "war veterans" to crush the political opposition and seize commercial farms. Significant post-independence achievements in racial reconciliation, economic growth and development of state institutions have already been severely eroded. The continuing non-enforcement of court orders has led to the dismissal of the authority of the courts and the encouragement of general lawlessness. Following months of sustained personal attacks by the Government, its supporters and the press, Chief Justice Gubbay agreed to retire early from his judicial post. Judges and lawyers remained under persistent intimidation by the executive, signalling a further deterioration in the rule of law of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980 following a war against the white minority regime led by Ian Smith. That regime had declared unilateral independence from Britain in 1965 in what was then Southern Rhodesia. In the early 1980s there was armed conflict in the south and west of the country between the two main parties, the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), dominated by people of Shona origin, led by Robert Mugabe, and the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU), dominated by the country’s largest minority group, the Ndebele, led by Joshua Nkomo. During the course of this war, Government forces and in particular the Fifth Brigade committed serious atrocities. An estimated 20,000 civilians were killed. Hostilities ceased in 1987 after a Unity Accord between ZANU and ZAPU, which resulted in the merger of the two parties. Since then, political power has been dominated by the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), both under the leadership of President Mugabe.

It was established by Trust Deed in July 1984 following a workshop on legal aid which was held at the University of Zimbabwe in February 1984. The workshop recommended "the improvement of the delivery of legal and information services to rural areas, . [the taking of] urgent steps to seek funds for the establishment of legal resource centres to operate in addition to the proposed Government scheme, . .the training and use of paralegals to ensure effective coverage and commu- nication. .[and] the development of a public interest law group associated with such centres."
