Forward-looking information can often be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “goal”, “plan”, “target”, “intend”, “estimate”, “could”, “should”, “may” and “will” or the negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance. Examples of forward-looking information in this Annual Report include: our reserve calculations with underlying assumptions, production guidance, estimates of future/targeted production rates, planned mill capacity increases, estimates of future metallurgical recovery rates and the ability to maintain high metallurgical recovery rates, Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc’s (“Caledonia” or “Company”) plans and timing regarding further exploration, drilling and development, the prospective nature of exploration and development targets, the ability to upgrade and convert mineral reserves, capital costs, our intentions with respect to financial position and third party financing and future dividend payments. This forward-looking information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to: failure to establish estimated reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data, assumptions regarding the representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, changes in government regulations, legislation and rates of taxation, inflation,

    ‘Visible Hectares, Vanishing Livelihoods’: A case of the Fast Track Land Reform and Resettlement Programme in southern Matabeleland - Zimbabwe Clifford Mabhena Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Social Sciences (Development Studies) Faculty of Social Science and Humanities University of Fort Hare 2010 i Declaration This work has not been previously submitted in whole, or in part, for the award of any other degree. It is my work. Each significant contribution to, and quotation in, this dissertation from the work of other people has been attributed, and has been cited and referenced. Signature Date ii Abstract: Land reform has been going on in Zimbabwe since the state attained independence from Britain in 1980 as a way of enhancing agrarian livelihoods for the formerly marginalized people. This study argues that, the Land Reform Programme in Southern Matabeleland rather than enhancing agrarian livelihoods, well established livelihoods have actually been drastically reduced. This has been exacerbated by the state programme of land re-distribution that prescribes a „one size fits all‟ model. Yet this is contrary to the thinking in development discourse that equitable land distribution increases rural livelihoods. As a way of gathering data this study utilized ethnography and case study methodologies. I spent two years interacting and interviewing purposively selected new resettles, communal residents, migrant workers and gold panners in this region. Results from this study confirm that, land reform has greatly reduced livelihoods, particularly agrarian livelihoods. Also, this research has found out that, the majority of residents now depend on off-farm livelihoods such as gold panning and migration to neighbouring South Africa.

  • Evaluation of the Effects of Different Water Demand Scenarios on Downstream Water Availability: the Case of Thuli River Basin
    Evaluation of the effects of different water demand scenarios on downstream water availability: The case of Thuli river basin Sangwani Khosa a,b1, David Love c,d and Marloes Mul e a Department of Civil Engineering, University of Zimbabwe, PO MP 167, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe b Ministry of Irrigation and Water Development, Department of Irrigation Services, P.O. Box 30797, Lilongwe, Malawi c WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe d ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe e UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Thuli river basin, in south western Zimbabwe, is situated in a semi-arid area, where surface water resource availability is a constraint. There is intensive use of blue water in the upper catchment more than its lower reaches. The paper presents the evaluation of the effects of upstream water demand scenarios on downstream users in the river basin. A model was applied as a tool to simulate the effects. The impacts of different water demand scenarios on downstream water availability were evaluated. The water demand scenarios used were based on government recommendations and future plans on water resources development, drought risk mitigation, implementation of environmental water requirement and implementing inter basin transfer (IBT) to Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe. The study showed that implementing IBT will increase water shortages for downstream users while enforcement of environmental water requirements, implementation of government plans on water resources development in the catchment and drought risk reduction; decreases water shortages for downstream users. It is therefore clear that while the IBT is an important development for Bulawayo, the river basin management of the Thuli river basin requires a holistic approach.

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 whiskey 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.
