finding
your focus
In order to set the tone for this year, the Paragon hub team has decided to use the
concept of "focus" as the central theme for our sixth issue. Many individuals and
businesses in Zimbabwe have served as motivation for us to do what we do.
Finding your focus entails determining the most important thing to consider. It all
comes down to strategy. It's all about knowing your options and making the best
choice. It's about finding meaning and being aware of your purpose, your strengths
and weaknesses, your likes and dislikes, and what's important to you and what's not.
In this issue, we've zeroed down on what matters most to us as a team, so you'll see
ads and articles on successful Zimbabwean entrepreneurs, unsung heroes, and
inspiring community projects. We wish you the inspiration and drive you need to zero
in on what matters most in 2023.

RAINBOW CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
A vision
into
Focus
A vision of hope, more than a dash of
determination, and a massive scoop of
generosity mixed together to create a
beautiful home from home, for children with
cancer.
Opened in December 2022 after a year of
construction and more than 7 years of
planning, all those who worked tirelessly and
contributed generously with time and money
could take a moment to enjoy phase 1
(dining area, kitchen, laundry, 5 bedrooms
ablutions and an office block for Kidzcan) of
the special village which will bring hope to
many children and their families in the years
to come.
Finally this incredible project has started doing
what it set out to do: changing the lives of
these little kids inextricably for the better by
providing them with a safe, secure place to
recover. Well done to all involved especially
John, Christo, Grant, Ross and all the others
who made this dream a reality. It was very
humbling being there to see these kids (one
was a tiny baby) and their parents move into
the rooms.
It is simply life-changing and all us Tablers
should be immensely proud of being part of
this far-reaching legacy project.
How can you help?
February, being ORANGE month
in support of children’s cancer,
was the perfect month to launch
our exciting raffle which gives
the ticket holder a 1 in 300
chance to WIN
an ISUZU double cab –
SCAN our QR code to find out

A remarkable milestone to kick off the year
for the RCV as the first 5 children took up

RAINBOW CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
2023 is a year to focus on finishing this amazing project. The RCV board and
fundraising team are fully committed and focused on raising the balance of the
funds to complete the building of 22 rooms. Phase 2 & 3 will comprise of 11 rooms
and an ablution block each, enabling the home to welcome 27 children and their
caregivers at any one time. 60% has been raised to date….. only 40% to go! The
Kidzcan block of the special village will bring hope to many children and their
families in the years to come.
With your

the vision
will become
reality!

CAT RESCUE ZIM
Our Mission
We want to give cats the best possible
life by reducing populations, eliminating
reproduction stress and supporting the
health of sterilized colonies through
feeding programs. Where appropriate,
we uplift weaned kittens and home
them with responsible owners. We avoid
putting healthy cats to sleep, instead,
we home unwanted feral cats on farms
as working cats.
About Us
CRZ is a 100% voluntary organisation made
up of a small group of cat lovers dedicated
to improving the welfare of cats in
Zimbabwe. This is achieved through the TNR
Program (trap, neuter, return), Foster Kitten
program and the Ferals for Farmers
program.
Our Vision
1. To have fewer cats and kittens on the
streets
2. To educate communities about the
benefits of having cats and their place
in the ecosystem, along with basic cat
care
3. To inform businesses about basic care
for feral cats on their premises
4. To run sterilization programs in impoverished
communities to improve the
health and wellbeing of cats

ADOPT DONATE VOLUNTEER
Provide a loving forever home
for a rescued kitten. Two is
better than one - a pair of
kittens will amuse each other
and ensure better socialisation
than a singleton. Also consider
providing a home for an older
kitten - a teenager can just be
as loving as a kitten!
You can help by donating
money to help recover our vet
bills, cat food, fuel coupons,
blankets, newspapers, professional
skills (marketing, fund
raising, printing etc). This is all
because all of us here at CRZ
are 100% unpaid volunteers. We
rely completely on donations. If
we do not have funding, CRZ
will cease to operate.
We always need more foster
parents so we can continue to
rescue kittens. We also need
people to help trap cats and to
do the groundwork necessary
to run our organisation.
CAT RESCUE ZIM
CRICKET
BEAR
What we do.
TRAP | NEUTER | RETURN
Management of the cat overpopulation crisis in
Zimbabwe through an effective and humane TNR
program. This is achieved by sterilising vaccinating
and ear tipping (for identification purposes) feral
cats.
TNR benefits everyone because it:
• humanely reduces the feral cat population on the
streets
• drastically improves cats’ quality of life as it
eliminates reproductive stress
• reduces territorial stress and improves the cats’
health through vaccination
• reduces noise from fighting and mating activities
• reduces smells from the territorial spraying of urine
• prevents the spread of rabies
FOSTER PROGRAM
Cats can get pregnant at only 4 months old, can
have up to 4 litters a year with up to 6 kittens per
litter. During TNR jobs, we almost always encounter
heavily pregnant females and kittens. Cats are
seasonal breeders, leading to a jump in feral kitten
numbers from October to April (there are always
exceptions - we have seen kittens born in winter
too).
During this time, we are swamped with calls to
rescue vulnerable kittens and to uplift unwanted
mothers and litters.
Where appropriate, we remove young kittens from
feral colonies and give them a better life by
rearing, rehabilitating, taming and homing them
with responsible owners. We uplift kittens from
roads, ceilings, gutters, drains, cars, trucks,
warehouse, storerooms and any other place they
turn up.
“Time spent with cats
is never wasted.”
FERALS FOR FARMERS PROGRAM
When trapping colonies of cats in areas unsuitable or where the cats are not wanted
back, we sterilize these cats and rehome them on farms with rat population problems.
There is an application process for these homes, as well as a contract to ensure the
cats’ well-being. We have received excellent feedback from these farmers regarding
the effectiveness of using feral cats to alleviate rat infestations, thereby avoiding the
use of dangerous rat poisons that are harmful to the environment and wildlife. The cats
go on to live a peaceful life in a safe environment while also helping the farmers.

DRIVE ZIM
The busiest Easter
holiday predicted.
Good Friday – the first long holiday since the start of the
year – looks set to be the single busiest day of the long
weekend with drivers. Drive Zim is reminding drivers of
the importance of pre-drive checks to avoid a
breakdown. In addition to the expected traffic jams,
drivers also face the costliest Easter on record when it
comes to petrol and diesel prices with 6% of drivers
saying they’re not planning a car trip at all over the
weekend for this very reason.
22
MAR - MAY 2023 | ISSUE 6
Separate research by Drive Zim also suggests that the
high pump prices might affect people’s trips in other
ways – one-in-five drivers (20%) said they plan on
driving a shorter distance this Easter than in previous
years, with the same proportion saying they’ll be
cutting back on other Easter expenditure because of
high petrol and diesel prices. More than a quarter
(28%) said they’re planning on using their cars less,
while a third (33%) will be deliberately driving more
economically to try to keep their Easter fuel spending
down.
The research also found that only a fifth of drivers
(19%) say they always check their cars are
‘road-ready’ before making an Easter trip, increasing
the potential for breakdowns to ruin the start of many
people’s breaks. Half of the drivers (51%) said they
sometimes checked their cars over before setting out
but an alarming 30% said they never do.
Drive Zim is therefore
reminding people that
spending just a little time
checking their vehicles’
oil, coolant and tyres
can prevent a very
inconvenient breakdown.
After two years of relatively quiet Easter holidays on
the roads, our research suggests a return to traffic
levels that are much more typical of this time of year,
and it’s very possible the weekend could turn out to
be one of the busiest for leisure journeys for many
years. Add in the impact taking place at the
weekend and you have all the ingredients needed
for problems on the roads. Traffic volumes will likely be
even higher if some warm spring sunshine makes an
appearance.
The key to avoiding the worst of any jams is planning.
Put simply, the earlier you leave in the morning the
more likely you are to miss the worst of the queues,
especially if you are travelling a longer distance –
although a fifth of drivers we polled said they were
planning on driving shorter distances this Easter,
specifically because of the extremely high cost of
petrol and diesel at the moment.
As well as leading to queues of traffic, vehicle
breakdowns also have the potential to ruin the long
weekend for drivers and anyone they’re travelling
with, so we’re urging people to make sure their
vehicles are ‘road-ready’ before setting out. This is
even more important for anyone travelling longer
distances than they have for several months. A
breakdown is much less likely if a car’s oil and coolant
levels, as well as tyre pressure and tread depth, have
all been checked before setting out.
Even with a significant increase in petrol prices,
we expect a large jump in holiday driving compared
to the last few years. Drivers should expect
congestion on major Highways around urban areas
and popular destinations. Knowing when and where
congestion will build can help drivers avoid the stress
of sitting in traffic.
DRIVE ZIM
Guide to travelling by car this Easter
How can I prepare my car for travel?
If you’re part of the 81% of drivers that rarely or never
check your car before a long trip, it is even more
important for you to do your necessary car checks
now. They can reduce the likelihood of a breakdown
over the Easter period. Drive Zim recommends you
follow our FORCES guidance:
F is for FUEL - Ensure you have enough fuel for your
journey. Cars use more fuel in heavy traffic and
start/stop conditions which can be regular
occurrences.
O is for OIL - To avoid engine damage and a
potential breakdown, remember to check your oil
level and top up when necessary
R is for RUBBER - Your tyres can tell you a lot about
how your car is performing. If they aren’t wearing
evenly, then tyre pressures may be mismatched or
there could be a fault with the steering.
Check that all four tyres have at least 3mm of tread
and are inflated to the correct pressure - this is vital to
maintaining good grip in wet conditions.
C is for COOLANT - Make sure it's topped up to your
vehicle manufacturer's recommended levels and
contains the right amount of anti-freeze.
E is for ELECTRICS - Check all of your lights are working
correctly including your indicators, brake lights and
fog lights - and replace any faulty bulbs or blown
fuses.
S is for SCREENWASH – Top up your windscreen
washer fluid by using a good quality screen wash that
is effective at all temperatures.
Easter weekend weather
It’s a bit of a mixed picture as far as weather is
concerned over the long Easter weekend although
feeling warm in places, at least early in the weekend.
What should I take in my vehicle if I am going on a
long journey?
The most important thing is to be prepared for
anything, including a breakdown so you should
ensure you have:
• A fully charged mobile phone – charge your phone
up while you drive if you can, or consider taking a
portable ‘power bank’ charger in case your battery
runs low
• Water or other hydrating drinks
• A blanket or a coat that keeps you warm
• Some food or snacks
• A face covering for when you might need to stop
and go into an indoor public space, or in case you
break down
• It’s worth taking items with you that will keep young
passengers in the back seat entertained

Top tips from Drive Zim Rescuers on avoiding a
breakdown
24
MAR - MAY 2023 | ISSUE 6
“Put simply, a well-maintained car is much less likely
to break down than one that hasn’t been looked
after. So, if you have a big drive coming up and
suspect something on your car’s not quite right then
get it into a good garage as soon as you can this
week.”
“Keep your locking wheel nut somewhere you can
easily find it as this makes it quicker for us to do a tyre
change if needed. Make sure that everything fixed to
the outside of your car – bikes, roof boxes – are
properly secured. If you’re travelling with a dog,
again ensure it’s secure inside and has some food
and water.
“Check your tyres every time, especially the inside
front edges. You can fully lock the steering one way
or the other so you can see the condition of your front
tyres easily. And whatever you do, don’t start a
journey with a known problem!”
What key things should I do before I travel?
Planning your trip is just as important as the trip itself.
We recommend the following:
Plan your journey with a map, a sat-nav or a route
planner to ensure you do not have any navigation
problems on your journey. If possible, plan your
journey for when roads are likely to be quieter and
remember that it’s important for your safety to take
breaks on longer journeys.
Let your hosts know when you’re setting out. It’s
always worth letting those you’re visiting know when
you’re leaving, and when you expect to arrive.

SECURITY
FACE-THEM
S E C U R I T Y
26
MAR - MAY 2023 | ISSUE 6
The high unemployment rate has resulted in the
escalation of crime in Zimbabwe. Home invasions
and burglaries are now very common regardless of
location of one’s residence. These break-ins are
usually violent with the perpetrators becoming more
and more daring. It has been noted that the
invasions, robberies and break-ins are usually
targeted at people who usually possess a lot of
money or valuable disposables.
It is therefore important for the Zimbabwean
community to be conscious of what makes “you” a
target. The new crop of robbers and home invaders
are not afraid to use maximum force and violence
against their victims. They are fast moving from using
clubs and knives to guns and ammunition. This has
resulted in the loss of lives and valuables. In this article
we are going to share tips on how we can best
secure your premise against robbers and invaders.
1. LIVE A LOW- KEY LIFE
Many people live flashy lives and show off expensive
acquisitions. Some do this openly to the public while
others do it within their social circles. A good example
is when people tend to make it apparent that they
have money on them or have acquired something of
value. This makes it easy for robbers and invaders to
target them.
So living a low-key life is all about being
unpredictable, being mysterious makes it difficult for
culprits to map out and direct your daily itinerary. A
low-key life makes it hard for would be perpetrators to
plan and successfully catch you off guard. Living
below the radar means that even the social circles
you share only what’s necessary and do not divulge
valuable information that might put you at risk. This
includes self-censure on social media. It also involves
not trusting anyone with information on money and
valuables.
2. SECURITY ASSESSMENT ON PREMISES
Make sure you carry out vulnerability assessment of
your premises on a regular basis. Be on the lookout for
loopholes, weak points and security failure. Security
companies and security consultants may be of help.
In this regard make sure that there are no hidden keys
under the mat, in/under the flower pot, in the
mailbox, in the bush.
SECURITY
FACE-THEM
S E C U R I T Y
Thieves and robbers are now aware of these tricks
and usually search for such whenever they visit. It is
best to have a locksmith duplicate keys whenever
and wherever necessary. Keys must be secured in
smart spots at all times
and key chains must be a
common feature so as to
deter pickpockets. Also
make sure you eliminate
weak locks that are easy
to smash, pick or cut. It is
best to go for costly but
secure locks than to invest
in cheap ones that are
easy to bypass.
Make sure that all
windows are secured with
screens so as to deter
intrusion. Doors must not
be hinged from outside as
this makes it easy for burglars TO gain access to your
premises. Kitchen doors are usually the least secure,
especially the Dutch doors, also called doubles hung
doors or half doors or stable door. These are easy to
pry open using crowbars. Screens and locks must be
on the inside so as to deter invaders.
3. INVEST IN TECHNOLOGY AND PROFESSIONAL
SECURITY COMPANIES
• Invest in panic buttons and rapid response security
• Invest in security alarms and biometric security
• Invest in CCTV and make sure that some of the
cameras are concealed in strategic places

4. OTHER SECURITY MEASURES
Make sure you don’t keep tools in unsecure places.
They can be used as weapons or to gain access into
premises. Always keep your tools locked up. Thieves
and invaders usually look
for tools like ladders and
empty drums / barrels to
gain access to rooftops,
fireplaces and high
windows.
Your outdoors must be
well lit at night and the
surroundings must not
offer hiding places for
invaders. In addition to
this, you may need to put
up security warning signs
so as to scare off would
be invaders.
Hire professional security companies and if you have
a firearm, make sure it is located in a concealed gun
cabinet. In the case of firearms make sure that it is
licensed and you know how to use it professionally
and legally.
Safes are no longer that secure. Thieves are now
using explosives to break them open. Make sure you
invest in a strong safe or get a bank safety box from
financial institutions.

MAR - MAY 2023 | ISSUE 6
The Savé Valley Conservancy (SVC) is thrilled and
proud to host Zimbabwe's first "Wild" mountain biking
event in one of Africa's largest private game
reserves, with 750,000 acres of diverse animal
lowveld, bordering the Save River on its eastern side,
visitors will see nearly all of Southern Africa's game
species which include the Big Five- elephant, lion,
leopard, buffalo, and rhino. The SVC is home to one
of Africa's largest black and white rhino populations,
as well as a strong population of rare African
Painted Dogs. Both of these extremely endangered
species are closely monitored and protected within
the conservancy. Throughout the year, the
Conservancy is home to over 300 bird species,
including several raptors.
This premier four-day mountain biking event will take
place from May 11-14, 2023. This will provide for
transit time into and out of Zimbabwe, as well as the
Savé Valley Conservancy. Each day, the cyclists will
depart from a central upmarket base camp where
they will be lodged, here they will also receive hot
meals, cold beverages, and hot showers.
Bring your family along to see some of the key
wildlife activities that take place within the
managed by expert bike guides, with enough
ground protection supplied by experienced game
scouts and rangers.

2023 Calendar Launch hosted
by
Trail Blazers began with a team of 5 fitness enthusiasts
who frantically needed to get prepared for the end
of year Sky Run. With their Sky Shorts, Trail Sunglasses
and DNA Running Shoes, they all trekked out of town,
to find a trail and practise their run. Trail running is a
popular activity across the globe. Contrary to
popular belief, you don’t have to have mountains for
trail running.
Trail running can in fact be done everywhere. It is
considered a “trail run” when you are not on
surfaced, paved, sealed or asphalt roads. For trail
running, it’s all about the movement outdoors in
The experience itself takes centre stage, with
obstacles and terrain constantly changing – first
you’re on rocks, then on grass, occasionally over
roots, and in between it may go up and then go
down, both your body and soul are alert and
challenged.
In athletic trail running, you can switch between
running and walking on big climbs. Longer
adventures are possible, and with the correct
equipment such as trail running shoes, performance
apparel, and a pack, you can easily spend the entire
day out trail running. Of course, with provisions and a
rain jacket packed along just in case – it can let loose
at any time.
Trail Blazers has become a blazing phenomenon
across Zimbabwe, with over 300 regular racers and
multiple sponsors, the team has set up a Trail Race
Calendar to keep the momentum going. With
journeys mapped out to take place in the most
spectacular locations, Hippo Pools, Matopos, Kariba
and so many more, we are encouraging anyone and
everyone to get fit and get involved. The journey is
our goal.

Article written by GRANT MITCHELL
Grant is a Strength and Conditioning Coach who has worked extensively in contact
and collision based sports such as rugby, boxing, karate and motorcross.
39
MAR - MAY 2023 | ISSUE 6
As far back as 500BC there is evidence within ancient
Greek medical texts that first identify and describe
symptoms of concussion. Unfortunately, it has taken a
long time for global sporting bodies, governing sports
associations and on field coaching programs to fully
accept that concussion is a legitimate threat to an
athlete’s cognitive health, both short term and long
term.
It is important to note that concussion is not limited to
contact and collision based sports and sports alone.
Concussion can occur in many non-contact sports
and most certainly in life on a daily basis. Be aware
and educated to recognise and assist.
What Is Concussion?
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury and should at
every stage be considered as serious until further
investigation displays otherwise. Concussion is caused
by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or to the body
that causes the head and brain to move quickly back
and forth (whiplash). This fast movement can cause
the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull,
creating chemical changes in the brain and
sometimes stretching and damaging the brain cells.
We are all susceptible to concussion, however,
children and adolescent athletes are most
susceptible. Educate and protect from a young age.
Signs and Symptoms of Concussion
These are signs and symptoms identified by
Coaches, Medical Staff and Teammates:
• Appears dazed or stunned.
• Forgets an instruction, is confused about an
assignment or position, or is unsure of the
bout, round, or opponent
• Moves clumsily.
• Answers questions slowly.
• Loses consciousness (even briefly).
• Shows mood, behavior, emotional or
personality changes.
• Cannot recall events prior to or after a collision.
These are signs and symptoms displayed by or
reported by the athlete:
• Speaks of headaches and/or dizziness.
• “Pressure” in head.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Balance problems or dizziness, double or blurry
vision.
• Bothered by light or noise.
• Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy.
• Confusion, or concentration or memory
problems.
• Just not “feeling right”, or “feeling down”.
SPORT
CONCUSSION
IN SPORT
How can a Coaching Program keep contact athletes
safe?
Well structured coaching programs – enforce the
rules of the sport for fair play, safety, and
sportsmanship. Coach and teach correct technique
in contact both when receiving and applying.
Maintain a no-nonsense policy when dealing with
concussion and suspected concussion.
Education programs – educate all involved in the
program from coaches to parents to medical staff to
the athletes themselves. Make everyone aware of
and accountable to the non-negotiables.
Strength and conditioning – Create programs that
minimise the risk of concussion by developing robust
athletes. Research has shown that simple neck
strengthening exercises that follow the isometric
tension method for up to 10 seconds 3 times per
position 3 times weekly can reduce the onset of
concussion by up to 13%.
Baseline Tests – work with medical experts to run
baseline tests that become reference points when an
athlete displays symptoms. Gathering data and
history of athletes is important for the playing journey.
What steps can we take to help an athlete return to
training and competition?
A wonderful way to remember a process and
implement the detail within is
RECOGNISE – REMOVE – REPORT – RETURN
Recognise – through education and awareness all
involved are empowered to know when someone is
displaying symptoms or quite obviously concussed.
Remove – immediately remove the athlete from the
environment, this must be done under the safest of
conditions and with appropriate
equipment/techniques so as to not exacerbate the
situation.
Report – get the athlete to the medical team on site
or medical professional off site for immediate
assessments and monitoring.
Return – implement sport specific and athlete
appropriate Graduated Return to Play protocols. This
allows a stage by stage application of load and
intensity into the athlete all whilst monitoring their
symptoms at all times.
If you are looking to further your
knowledge so as to improve your
Coaching space and that of the
athlete then take a look at this site.

concussion education and the

2023 SIX NATIONS
By Marc Pozzo
The quality of rugby has been high in the first two
rounds of the 2023 Six Nations, bringing out individual
brilliance from several players. Ireland and France
delivered a spectacle befitting a match between the
and, England trundled to a first win under new head
months, these players proved they can find their best
form when it matters. France scrum-half Antoine
Dupont would make this list purely for his
gravity-defying, try-saving tackle on Ireland's Mack
Hansen, but as always he did many impressive things
in that game against Ireland. It looked as if Hansen
was certain to walk in a try, but Dupont showed off his
super strength to stop the Ireland wing in his tracks as
he tried to single-handedly hold on to France's Grand
Slam dream. Sticking with the game of the weekend
and the tournament thus far , there are obviously many
Ireland players who could make this list after they
ended France's Grand Slam defence in such style.
ability to involve himself in everything made it seem as
if there were two of him on the pitch.
Doris had the joint-most carries for Ireland with 18,
equal with full-back Hugo Keenan, assisted one of the
side's tries and made life difficult any time France tried
to attack. Ireland full-back Keenan went over for
Ireland's first try thanks to a little help from his fellow
forward Finlay Bealham. Keenan ran a perfect line to
find a gaping hole in France's defence in a perfect
example of how Ireland's attack can undo even the
best teams.
Scotland fly-half Finn Russell has been another
standout so far this season. He ran Scotland's attack
games in the Six Nations for the first time. The
Murrayfield crowd were treated at last to a real show of
accurate cross field kicks, smart handling and some
defiant flair.

Napkin Bunny
To make these adorable napkin bunnies, fold a
square dinner napkin in half diagonally into a
triangle shape (have an adult iron it flat first to
make the DIY easier). Starting at the top of the
triangle, roll the entire napkin, then place a
decorated egg right above the center of the roll.
Finally, gather the ends at the top so the napkin
wraps around the egg and tie it with ribbon to
create ears.
