95.4 we would love to hear from you so please do send through a message on our sub platform 0772 168 045 0772 168 045 now tonight we are tackling a critical issue um that hits home for every single Zimbabwean.

The state of national housing, with the current national housing backlog estimated at over 1.5 million units.

What do we do now?

I'd like to get him back to Umtali as soon as possible, but obviously he can't walk.

What about the rain? He'd get soaked to the skin in no time.

Well, we can wait a day or so, see if the rain eases up, but then we must go.

Lieutenant Finis and Trooper Ohara swam ahead, holding the rope which pulled the raft, and the other men, including Dr. Rand, swam on either side, keeping the raft steady.

It must have been a nightmare journey.

When they reached the other side of the river, the raft once more became a litter, and staggering and slipping, they carried the sick man back up the slippery paths to Umtali.

Surprisingly, Trooper Glover did not die.

Yeah, their current restructuring is a textbook illustration of corporate capital triage in a low liquidity environment.

They are aggressively selling off their legacy Holiday Inn hotels in major cities, Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare.

And what are they doing with that cash? They are using it to buy out their partner, Michaels, who held a 50% stake in the famous Victoria Falls Hotel.

Plus, they're funding an $11 million refurbishment of that single property.

Geographic Notes Africa Sierra Leone The first section of the first railroad in British West Africa is now being operated between Freetown and Wellington.

British South Africa A company has been formed to construct and operate a line of railway from the Umtali to Salisbury, a distance of about 160 miles.

Umtali is the terminus of the existing Bera railway system.

Abyssinia A recent report on the trade of Addis Ababa states that ivory, which could once be obtained at the rate of a tusk for a percussion musket, is now sold at from $80 to $100 for 40 pounds.

Coffee of good quality grows wild in many parts of the country.

... w- w- you know, who says if you get onto a train that's meant to be going to Mutare but you're on the one that's going to Bulawayo, each second you spend not getting off that train is gonna make your journey more expensive.

Is that so?

So yeah, you're in deeper and you've got a child, but you're choosing to stay, so you're making it worse.
