However, Anniversaries are also times of remembrance……. This year we marked the 130th anniversary of the formation of the Regiment. The 50th anniversa- ry of UDI. Next year sees the 40th anniversary of the final parade in Zimbabwe, and the 10th anniversary of the ‘Last Parade’ and dedication of the Regimental Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum. Whilst nationally we mark the 75th anniversary of VE day in May. If one googles ‘anniversaries’ well over 100 are shown for 2020 including the 80th anniversary of Britain introducing food rationing; the 30th anniversary of Nelson Mandela being released from Prison to name just two. The Branch will be holding the Annual Regimental Memorial Service and Lunch at the NMA on Sunday August 2nd and would like as many who are available to attend – ten years on from the ‘Last Parade’ is a significant milestone. Details will be published on the Branch Web site and in the Summer Outpost. Members will be interested to note that in an act of ‘Comradeship’ the Branch has given the Kenya Police Association Affiliated Membership with the addition of accepting Full Individual Membership of the United Kingdom Branch of the BSAP Regimental Association for those KPA Members who wish it. The Kenya Police Association was formed 55 years ago with the aim to exist for fifty years – so the extra five has been a bonus. The officers of the KPA will hold ad-hoc get together, as and when. No Annual dinner or AGM. However, they do plan to maintain their annual ‘Curry Lunch’. In respect of our own Branch Membership, the continued prod and quest for new members continues and we are seeing a steady trickle. Although those taking their ‘Last Parade’ means the actual Branch Membership remains almost static. The strength of our Association in the future is, as I have often said, down to the strength of the regions and I would thank the Regional Representatives for their efforts. In managing the affairs of our Branch your Committee put in many hours and do their level best to ensure we gain in strength. However, there are a number of areas where help would be welcome, in planning events, publicity and so on. Therefore, if anyone feels they can contribute a little time – no need to attend meetings – no need to become a committee member – just a willingness to lend a hand. Please contact myself or the Hon Sec. THE PRESIDENT & COMMITTEE WISH EVERYBODY THE VERY BEST FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON AND GOOD WILL FOR THE NEW YEAR 6757 MIKE COLEMAN 3 In memory of Mike Plant 33 A Message from the President ­ ­ ­ ­­ ­ ­ William (Will) Keys ­ ­ ­ ¡ ­ ¢ 4 5111 Jack Bacon - in memory of Brian Nightingale Bertie’s Blether The evenings are drawing in, the clocks have gone back and there is a definite nip in the air with a deal of rain, the latter playing havoc with my lodger Arthur Ritis. A pat on the back for those members who listened to my entreaty in the last OP to advise changes to their circumstances but there are still a few who forgot: Behind the guard was not awarded, this time! Turning to Stock: Thanks to all who supported the Memorabilia Sales during the year, we could not do without your continued support.

  • National Security Is a Sensitive Subject. a Country's Survival, Growth
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY National security is a sensitive subject. A country’s survival, growth and development depend on a well crafted and consciously implemented national security policy. By nature, national security implementation should always be at a competitive edge relative to internal and external security threats. As a result, the state cannot easily disclose or expose its national security policies and plans without sufficient cause. Zimbabwe’s national security implementation is guided and instructed by the Public Order and Security Act, the Official Secrets Act and the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act. These acts complement one another and are applied flexibly enough to suit the prevailing circumstances The Acts ensure that order, peace and stability prevail, and that the state’s secrets are protected from those who are not entitled to them. State secrets are the preserve of responsible authorities who implement them to control the variables that affect the survival, growth and development of the state. While the call for the right to access to information may sound cogent, it is important to note that it cannot be guaranteed that the information will not be used against the interests of the state and private individuals. In the Zimbabwean context, the phenomenon of the public demanding access to security information is not significant. The public is aware of the sensitivity of state secrets and security information, and it is not common to identify ordinary people craving for security information. Those who demand the information are political malcontents bent on finding a pretext for fomenting anarchy. Public order is maintained by the Zimbabwe Republic Police, and national defence is guaranteed by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, but for effective protection of the nation, security information is the preserve of those entitled to access it and use it, and not just anybody who might use it against the interests of the state.

Consensus is that our contracted author Peter Baxter has done a sterling job. We must not lose sight of the fact that this project would not be where it is without the input of hundreds of people around the world, as well as the memory of our family and friends no longer with us. They provide the inspiration that drives us on when some of us sit in front of computers at some stupid hour in the morning, only to nod off in front of the TV or wherever we find a moment to have a cat nap - a bit like back in the day when you found time to sleep whenever the situation presented itself. It is a job that has to be done and we have the people to do it - be assured. We still have various requests for information in relation to the Rhodesia Regiment book.

INTRODUCTION The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a worldwide church, which is found in all the continents of the world. Africa is not an exception. The continent of Africa could boast of 34 percent of the Seventh-day Adventist worldwide membership in 2007.1 What appears to be a visible growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Africa in terms of membership has never been always like that. What is noticeable today did start with some missionaries who decided to come to Africa in order to share the Adventist message with people.For example, one of the country that can be mentioned among all other African countries, to have received the ―three Angel‘s messages‖ in Africa is South Africa. In 2010, the Church in South Africa2 consists of 106 000 members.3 How did it happen? How did the Adventist church grow over the years in South Africa?Du Preez pointed the importance of the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South Africa when he wrote,―the scarcity of people with memories of the pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South Africa has created immense gaps in the history of thechurch.
