    I can remember when Salisbury Municipality took over the Town Management Boards. My parents did not approve! A model boating lake was being built at Ballentine Park at the time and the Salisbury municipality cancelled that project, displeasing us lads greatly!

    Thanks for the research brother. I did not know there was a number of Americans who were involved in first occupation of Zimbabwe. It explains why British and Americans seem to have an interest in Zim,also the German and Dutch counterparts too.The Dutch nearly took Mozambique from the Portuguese back in the day,but Portuguese resisted.Today in the City of Beira, a Dutch community is working with the Council of the City on green projects. So History has a way of repeating itself.

    If you google Powell Road, Harare you will see it's still there. The roads in the suburbs pretty much all have their original names. I lived in Queensdale.
