A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Colleagues,

We have come to the end of the year and so much has happened, some very good things and others we should learn from. The year started off with Load-shedding (forcing people like me to buy a motorbike to avoid being grid-locked in traffic) and then the global financial meltdown, a new president, major changes within the ruling party, further deterioration of Zimbabwe, bluh-bluh-bluh. We seem to have weathered all of that in some form or the other.

As the holiday season is upon us once again, many of us are preparing for extravagant escapades, giggling kids, fun and frolic, loads of parties, king size feasts and a long cozy holiday. While there is not enough space in a concise message to quickly summarize the successes of the past 12 months, I find it quite essential to mention that through these successes, 2009 is already showing signs to be the very progress we have prayed, anticipated and worked very hard for! There is hope for an even more productive business next year.

I wish to congratulate and thank all staff for their commitment and enthusiasm over the past twelve months. I would also like to express our thanks to our client base for their business in the past year. Thanks for your excellent contribution in our company. I wish you all a magical Festive Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts. May 2009 mark the beginning of a Tidal Wave of Love, Happiness and Bright Futures.

Should you be driving during this time.....please take care on the roads!

Chairman, Tshirundu Communications Group
