Tazzen Mandizvidza (TM): Hello and welcome to the programme, "The [email protected]", this is a special programme in which we talk to the president of the Republic of Zimbabwe who turned 92 on the 21st of February and was recently in Masvingo for the 21st February Movement celebrations where he celebrated his birthday this time with the youths. My name is Tarzan Mandizvidza and my guest on this special programme is his Excellency Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe.
TM: Your Excellency, thank you for joining us on this special programme.
President Mugabe. Thank you.
TM: Your Excellency at 92 muri kunzwa sei panyama nepandangariro?
President: At 92 ndirikunzwa sei? Makore makumi mapfumbamwe nemaviri? Ndiri kunzwa masimba ekuti ah, ah ndaakusvika semunhu arikumhanya murace hee, avakuda kusvika. Pandavakuda kusvika unoziva kuti ndepapi? Pazana! Saka ndasarirwa nenhano ngani? Tsere chete.
TM: Are you coping as a leader, as a parent, as a President?
President: Yes, as how every man copes isn't it? As a parent vana vakura, vachiri kuchikoro vaviri, mumwe akachata. So there are two who are still our dependants and therefore we still have that responsibility as parents to see them through their education. Bellarmine is the last born, Tinotenda is the other boy. He has turned 24 now but he is at a university in Dubai doing architecture, studying architecture that is. Bellarmine, we hope he will get through his A-Level this year and we hope he goes to university. He hasn't quite decided what to do, sometimes he says he wants to be a lawyer and other times he wants to be an accountant or something, etc, he is yet to make up his mind.
As a leader, well, we continue to lead in the same way as before except that each phase of our leadership depending on the circumstances must take into account of course the demands of the situation. Now 2015 has been the most trying situation or year for me because of the fact that I was not just a Zimbabwean leader, I also became the leader of SADC and the leader of the African Union and I was like a table standing on three legs but I said no, I really am standing on four because the fourth leg is myself. I had to lead myself, so there I was, that triangular leadership was very challenging, I had to keep going to ensure that I did not lose my focus as a national leader. But at the same time, also realised that I had to pay attention to issues that had to do with Sadc and right at the top of course, the continental issue and, above all, these,, were the circumstances naturally that confronted us.
Listen to audio here……………
We had not just meetings of the three fora, we also had visits, you see, to cope with and one of the most important visits was that of the President of China, President Xi Jinping. I met him in France at the climate conference and a visit was to take place on the same day I left France to come home and that is the first visit I am talking about, visit to Zimbabwe. And he was coming just behind me, so we had to leave Paris at midnight, we arrived about seven or eight hours before he did. We had a bit of rest, we managed to receive him at the airport and managed to meet him here in this building (his Munhumutapa offices) later on but at the same time give him a send-off to South Africa.
Now to start a visit, a one-day visit in Pretoria and behind him, I was following him, for the China-Africa meeting in Johannesburg. And so that one was quite hectic but we managed to cope with it and the meeting in South Africa was a very good one. And so there it was, and obviously we had to give our own farewell speech as the Chairman of the African Union to the last session of the AU and that was the speech which you all read about, the speech which was so welcomed, which drew so much applause from the Heads of State who were attending that session.
And I think we have managed to raise the name and profile of Zimbabwe and nobody will doubt that Zimbabwe is a country which has seasoned politicians, revolutionaries and people with a given direction. And an enlightened direction at that. But we are glad that it also gave us that leadership of the African Union, a chance to acquaint ourselves with the problems of a number of African countries including Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea- Conakry and to attend that pledging meeting with (United Nations) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, where pledges were made to assist these three countries which had been hit by that epidemic to reconstruct and start a new life again but we also were able to attend the inauguration meetings or shall I say ceremonies where some presidents were being sworn in and apart from that we also visited as Head of State in a number of African countries. So it was also educative and informative to me as indeed a source of inspiration and also an occasion which enabled me to pass on some ideas of how we in Africa, united as we are, can transform our socio-economic systems to get our countries to develop and Zim-Asset ideology you know.
We managed to get it through to Africa and through the AU and individually, bilaterally and to countries of Africa. In Africa almost everybody is now talking about adding value, beneficiation, industrialisation and that is what Zim-Asset is all about.
TM: That's quite a hectic schedule that you had to go through, but are you, are you still doing your morning exercises?
President: Morning exercise! Yes, of course to keep alive and also to enable me to resurrect when they say I am dead. You know to come back to life when people begin saying that you are dead. It takes quite a lot and every January, I must prepare the necessary exercises for resurrection because I know I will be destined for death, every January. So now I am dead alive.
TM: Your Excellency, what has been the impact on the family of Amai Dr Grace Mugabe joining you full-time in politics, two politicians at home?
President: Yes, two politicians at home, she made up her mind. She asked me whether I approved of her to join politics and I said it was entirely up to her. If she wants to join politics, well and good, it's rough going. I don't want you to say, I said tomorrow. And this I had said to my own relatives, my own sisters and my own brothers earlier on, that "Ah it's you who got us or got me into this trouble, now look what's happening to me".
No. Get into it and swim into it, it's rough waters and, yes, it has proved to be rough waters but she can cope with it, she is a rough swimmer as well. And well, well she is very mature, she can take the criticism but some of the criticisms are a bit too abusive, mamwe ndeekutsvinya, mamwe ndeekunyomba which is not in keeping with our custom.
Yes, for the Internet it's all rotten there absolutely and I don't know what people are responsible for those abuses but kana vari vana vedu vakakudzwa mumhuri dzedu muno muZimbabwe tinoti, ah havana kukudzwa patsika dzedu dzechivanhu. Kune zvinoera kutaurwa nevana vadiki but mazwi ekutuka, akarema, anotyisa, nepachiKristu futi hazvitaurwe zvimwe zvacho zvirikuenda kuInternet.
It is an Internet of dirty and filthy language. Ini ndinotongozvinzwa ndaakudzwa nevamwe and I don't have any perception or interest of wanting myself to be directly linked with the Internet.
TM: But Your Excellency, what has been the impact of that on the children, especially the two boys vamasarirwa navo?
President: We pretend that they don't see or hear what is happening but we know they do. But they don't say it to us and which shows that they are maturing now. They can take it. They have grown up sufficiently. They should be able to absorb it and know that where there are positives, there are bound to be negatives and it is not always the right things that are said or done.
Wrong things are also being said and being done. That is how the world is. There is virtue, there is vice, there is good behaviour, there is bad behaviour, good conduct and bad conduct and that is how it is. That's life.
TM: From the family let me take you now to the economic hardships your critics are saying you are failing to come up with workable solutions to turn around the economy. How do you respond to that?
President: No, we are not failing, but there are difficulties that face us. Running an economy is not just a matter of, you know, having capital as it is and then producing products. You have to trade products and trade has got to be facilitated. It is in the facilitation of trade and the securing of investments and the necessary failings from your exports that we face a problem, a huge problem.
We don't have our own currency, we are using American currency. When we export, sorry when we import say vehicles be it from America, South Africa, Brazil – vehicles for example and want to pay for them, it's American dollar that we use. Questions are asked when the money gets to New York, where it is from and if it's from Zimbabwe. No. Similarly, if payments are to be made to us if these are to Zimbabwe, America says no because all the payments must be made through their own banking system. All the payments whether these are for imports or earnings from our exports, it's a same route and because we have sanctions, are sanctioned America says no. So you have a country or countries the European countries are better behaved than the Americans on this one.
Anyway, the American dollar is not the currency of Europe, but when we pay Europe what we have here is the American dollar. So the same story happens. So we do not print the American dollar and do not control its flow, international flow, the regulation of that flow is by America. And so your progress is inhibited. You have to find ways of circumventing, you know these impediments that face us in trading with other countries and that just slowed us tremendously.
Lending in some cases made things quite impossible but we have managed to sustain our economy nevertheless. Then, of course, we have got some in-built forms of resistance, you have in the same system some people who don't think the way you do, and have different ideas and do not, therefore, take the same stance as yourself. They are slow or they think the policies we are pursuing are not the correct ones and they are not happy and you have also quite some level of corruption in the system, private and public.
We are looking at how we can get rid of this corruption. We have just recently established the Anti-Corruption Commission, and we hope it will help us in eradicating – if it is possible – or reducing the level of corruption taking place in the country. Economies function on the basis of inputs either way, inputs that come to you by way of investments and what become inputs by what you export to others.
Now what comes to you by way of earnings will depend on the vigour and performance of your economy; the vigorous performance of your economy. If it's performing very well and you are able as I said to export and export freely there is free flow of goods, mobility of goods as they say then obviously you are doing well provided the costs that you are able to perform freely also. And then there is the issue of investment of course, investment by way of capital coming from other countries, countries may feel that your policies are not that encouraging to them.
Currently, countries would want to know the meaning and significance of our policy of indigenisation and empowerment amount to and we are trying to explain this that when we say indigenise, we mean total ownership, empowerment but that indigenisation is not about ownership of resources in the first place, resources that we have, but when we do business with regard to them, we are saying come if it's mining, minerals, the resources are ours, we own them in the first place. That ownership must be recognised because we must get them out of the ground with your help and you are prepared to be partners with us in that process of getting them out of the ground.
We say your share is 49 percent as against our share of 51 percent. In other words, from our total ownership of these commodities, which is an indigenous one, we are prepared to reward you for your task to the extent of 49 percent. But we are aware that it's your own resource that you are bringing into our environment and you are establishing a factory here, no that doesn't apply at all.
You bring your own oil for example, we don't have oil here, you want to process it, we don't apply our indigenisation and empowerment law to the same extent we do where the resources are our own natural resources here then we leave it to pure negotiations that you want to go into whatever manpower you would want to employ. It's your business but we would expect that you will be fairly employing our people then if it is okay we regard the numbers you employ in your business.
Empowerment, yes we want our people empowered, given jobs, but that is not just the task we demand of investors. It's a task that we ourselves on our own must ensure is discharged, establish enterprises, companies ensure that our people are employed, are empowered therefore give jobs to our people and give them also jobs at various levels including the level of management, in some cases encourage our people to undertake businesses where they do that business for themselves entirely.
In that case it's not the State employing them, or the State might be sponsoring them or just supporting them financially or technologically but the business is entirely their own. It might be a mining proposition, the gold that they are mining where the mineral might be gold is entirely their own.
They will sell it to Fidelity, to the Reserve Bank and at the end of the day smelt it and they smelt it and sell it after it has been smelted, that's better and a better price for it but is entirely their own. So you have State enterprises, but the majority we would hope are private enterprises in a number of areas.
We have decided recently that in the mining sector, the mining of diamonds be reserved for the State, be a matter for the State alone. The State might decide to engage certain experts, perhaps because they have the necessary technology as mining engineers or metallurgists and employ them as experts or technocrats. That will not make them owners of the business. We will give them the shares, you know.
The State will now own all the diamonds in the country and cut and polish them. But in cutting and polishing them we would require also the services of others who can do the cutting and polishing because that becomes now an industrial arena where we can employ quite a number of people. However, in regard to production our consolidated diamond mining entity is going to undertake that.
TM: Your Excellency, let me stop you there, talking of diamonds just a few years back you were upbeat about the abundant reserves of diamonds in the country but up to now it looks like we have not seen much from diamonds. Then, secondly, this move now to say the State will be in charge of ownership of diamonds what has brought about this change?
President: Precisely what you have said in the first place we have not received much from the diamond industry at all. Not much by way of earnings. I don't think we have exceeded $2 billion or so, no and yet we think that well over $15 billion or so have been earned in that area. So, where have our carats been going, the gems? There has been quite a lot of secrecy in handling them and we have been blinded ourselves, that means our people whom we expected to be our eyes and ears have not been able to hear or see what was going on.
A lot of swindling and smuggling has taken place and the companies that have been mining, virtually, I want to say robbed us of our wealth. That is why we have decided that this area should be a monopoly area and only the State should be able to do the mining in that area. You cannot trust private companies in that area, none at all. And we should have learnt from the experiences of countries like Botswana, Angola and Namibia, etc. We might go partners with leading diamond company, one which is already well established. Fine, we may be able to do that but on good terms.
Botswana was telling us their deal, that is President (Ian) Khama that they work with De Beers and they had had to demand that they get more than 70 percent of the earnings that are made by De Beers because they reckon that over years, De Beers has been having a lion's share of their diamond wealth and this is what we are trying to do now. Start afresh. After all, the really kimberlite mining has not been done, it was all alluvial so far, just doing the sands, the loose earth and the conglomerate of course, cutting the stones through and then getting whatever carats, that is what the Chinese company Anjin was doing.
TM: Stopping them, let me focus on the Chinese company, how has this affected Zimbabwe's relationship with China?
President: I don't think it has affected any of the relations adversely at all, I don't think so, I told President Xi Jinping that we were not getting much from the company and we didn't like it anymore in this country, so we wanted it to go back, I told him that, here in this house.
TM: Talking of the Chinese, Your Excellency and the issue of investment, we have seen the efforts you have made to lure investment into Zimbabwe in line with the Zim-Asset programme talking of the Chinese and the Russians, they are ready to move in and invest. But your critics have started to say this talk of investment might just be a pie in the sky. When is this investment going to come?
President. But they have been investing, hasn't the story been told of what they are doing? People might say the investment is not at a high pitch but you don't start on a high pitch. No, investment does not start that way. It starts low, on a low pitch and step by step it goes up as it gains more and more confidence. We have the Russians kuMakwiro, Selous, they are doing platinum there, they were in Chimanimani, doing diamonds and gold and then diamonds but now diamonds are now a monopoly of the State.
As for the Chinese, well surely people know the companies the Chinese have established in this country, I have just been talking about Anjin which was doing diamonds in Chiadzwa, but there have been quite a number of others building here, building there and we started with the Chinese, they built our stadium, they built other smaller places and we wanted them to build a hospital, and they said they would rather finish work with doctors in Chitungwiza.
TM: Let me take you to the Zim-Asset blueprint which is being implemented, are you satisfied with the pace of its implementation, can we say we are moving towards a success story?
President: Yes, you don't need a success story the moment you start on a project or programme and you must be given time to unroll it, unfold it, to roll it and unfold it as time goes on and it's only after you have gone, say, halfway that you examine how far you have gone, whether the pace you have taken, the thrust you have made has given you the result that you expected and you planned for in the first place.
But let people give us a little more time, the programmes, proposals are not miracles you see, are not feats, they don't achieve their results within just a short time period. It's a five-year plan that we have, while, as I see midway that is three and half years or three years after the plan has started and then you may be able to assess the effectiveness, efficiency and competence of your efforts and say we are succeeding or we are not succeeding.
But the Ministry of Industry will tell you that quite a number of industries, which were folding up in Bulawayo and elsewhere are now picking up, vanaDavid Whitehead, vanaDunlop, etc – they are all on their feet. But this is not to say we are where we wanted to be. We are not yet there as I said much earlier we have sanctions to cope with and let it be understood that we are not as free to do things in this country as our neighbours are.
Only recently the Americans re-imposed their sanctions on us. Europe also imposed sanctions on us or lifted part but America didn't lift a thing. And this is so, that must be understood. There is a negative side in our environment that we continue to fight against. To say no, give us way, allow us to pass through and constantly we have roadblocks, we are stopped on the way. But we keep ourselves going and ensuring that our community remains alive especially during a period like we have had this year where the rains were, at the beginning, were sparse and were visited by El Nino and our crops went dry in the fields, so it's a year of hunger, but we have taken steps, effective steps of the nature that will enable us to feed our people and to get all along in the difficulties of the year in the hope that the year 2017 will not be as bad as this year.
Like just now we have good rains coming. They may not do any good to any of our crops that have withered already and it's late to plant crops like maize, but we still welcome them because the grass grows. At least our animals will thrive, both wild and domestic, and perhaps we may at the end of it also be able to plant one of those crops like beans which don't need a long season.
TM: Your Excellency, talking of drought, you have said Government has taken steps to ensure that the people do not die of hunger. But usually whenever there is an issue of food distribution it is always allegations that it is used as a political tool. How do you assure Zimbabweans that politics does not come into food distribution?
President: How do we ensure that politics does not come in? We never talk of any politics. When we distribute food, food is distributed to the people regardless of their affinities. In the rural areas you do not go asking people are you Zanu-PF, are you not? No, we do not mind the politics of the people. It does not matter to which party they belong. Whether it be MDC-T or MDC-Z or what? Or People First or People Second or People Third… We just give people.
TM: Still looking at this drought situation that we are facing in the region, are we likely to see maybe an adjustment in policies on land and agriculture in line with this phenomenon?
President: Sure, it is already our policy that we undertake our agriculture that is resort to irrigation system that requires water, requires dams. But when the rains fall like this. If they are heavy enough, we know that our dams will retain some water. And we have been trying to acquire the necessary equipment for our irrigation to take place, already with what we managed to get from Brazil, we have distributed this to so many cooperatives which have been lucky enough to have dams, big or small and some of them have reported very good results, excellent results. The more we do that I think, I think the more we guard ourselves against El Nino in the future.
TM: Let's now move on to political issues. Lately there has been an escalation of infighting within Zanu-PF. Is the party still holding?
President: Very much so. The infighting has been peripheral really. Although we complain, some of us at the top who are in the leadership that some of our leaders are responsible here and there. But right at the grassroots and the middle system of the party, it's very intact although we have these quarrels that show themselves mainly here in Harare. You don't hear much of them except in the urban areas in Harare here, Gweru, Masvingo and sometimes just a bit in Mutare. In the rural areas where the majority people are, there is silence and quiet.
Yes we don't like them. They are some of them personal. Some of them based on very little on regional ambitions. Some people abuse the region or the tribe. But that has been very little in our party. There's been people wanting to be what they are not. And wanting to push others out of place so they can get there. And the system of passing these votes against persons you don't like, sometimes persons you think are holding you back. You pass a vote of no confidence. And the person goes and you think you can take their place. Some of the things are childish.
But we have said whatever their cause, wherever they are happening they are affecting the party to some extent, but not in any substantial way but then we would want to see the party avoid them completely and get better united. And you can see the small papers which are good reading for a minute and then you throw into the bin, have been thriving on these small quarrels and sometimes creating them or wanting to create some. And even magnifying the effect of these quarrels in terms of their effects on little parties. All the ambitions of those who want to get into the (inaudible).
Anyway, they have not affected us very much, but the party, the people's party will always have negative elements. You can't have everyone move in a perfect direction. There will be others who will always be troublesome elements. But we are not short of members. Those we see are troublesome in the party we chuck them out of the party and we are not short of members. We don't cry for members; they can go and form a People this, a People that or MDC this MDC that. The segmentation you get in the area of opposition parties.
Some think we are afraid of them we are not at all. Anyway let's have that opposition. We want that opposition. It's an opposition for nothing. They don't oppose things that are substantial and all of them, if you look at them, the opposition parties of MDC, down to the lately formed one, what do they call it? People First or Last? They just have one target – let's remove Zánu-PF – let's remove Zanu-PF, did you form a party in Zimbabwe just to remove Zanu-PF, or to transform the socio-economic system and address the needs of the people.
We are there, we are the only ones who speak about the needs of the people and how we want to transform them. We are the only ones with policies, Zim-Asset and others. They only want you talking about how we can make our diamonds save our people, make our gold save our people. We talk of empowerment, indigenisation, we are not talking about how to remove MDC, or how to remove this and those little things can come. We know they will go and live in the wilderness, where little ants and other biting insects are known to live, fine.
TM: But Your Excellency, there is talk of a grand coalition of these political parties against Zanu-PF and meanwhile we are talking of infighting in Zanu-PF, is Zanu-PF ready to meet such a coalition?
President: Of course, we are. A grand coalition, it includes zero plus zero plus zero plus zero plus zero, grand zeros, what do they amount to? You are afraid of them? The naughts, no. They don't even amount to add as if they were one plus another and another.
TM: Let me take you to another issue Your Excellency, what is the relationship between the party Zanu-FP and war veterans? I am asking this in relation to recent events?
President: What is the party and war veterans? You are putting the war veterans there and the party there. The war veterans are part of the party, the war veterans are within the party. We are the war veterans, I am a war veteran myself. So you mean the welfare of the war veterans. Yes, we have been very worried about their welfare. The welfare of some of them who are not employed, some have grown old. The party being just the sponsor of Government have been urging Government to pay the fees, whether these are school fees or health fees and look at the families of the war veterans and this has not been going well in Government and we are sorry about this one.
I was just talking to (Cde Chris) Mutsvangwa, who is minister and telling him that I will talk to Cde (Sydney) Sekeramayi tomorrow so that we have a meeting with the war veterans perhaps next week, properly called. We don't want them just to come in this irregular manner kungozvisunda sezvavakaita musi uya uya. Aiwa. We know they are orderly people, they are well disciplined. We want to hear from them, how they are coping and what their problems are.
That's right. They are within the party province by province. They are within the systems of the party, within the organs of the party as members of the party generally. So they don't stand aloof but as an organisation for purposes of their welfare yes, we say, because we want to give them the treatment that they deserve and this treatment has not always been given to them and I will ensure myself that we look at their problems very positively and see what we can do.
I mean the things like fees and giving them food, giving them hospital fees that they need to pay. Those are humanitarian needs and you can't say you don't have money for those. No. I don't want to hear that one. Let us hear that the message of we have no money, maybe for your money to travel to Johannesburg yes, but to say no money for food?
But we must give them jobs, but as we began our land reform programme, we stated that wherever we are apportioning land, 20 percent of it must first go to the war veterans – throughout the country. Then also naturally we ensured that we did assist them, we gave jobs to them, some qualified for the jobs, some may not have qualified because they had the least education but we also made provisions for their education and the scholarship which we ran with Minister (Chris) Mushohwe, and the Presidential Scholarship Programme and (George) Charamba we always ensured that the ones we gave preference to first were the children of war veterans.
Province by province, district by district, even where they did not have enough points to enter our universities, if they had six points, five or four (points) and we know that with those points they qualified to enter South African universities because the entrance in South Africa is matriculation which is equivalent to five years of O-Level which is below A-Level. So we still sent them and they distinguished themselves with just four points.
And then back home we still ensure that the few of them who came to us here and there with children to go to school we helped them. But we wanted them especially and what do you call it? Beam, under Beam to be treated very fairly under Beam. But Beam soon ran out of money. Now it is that story, running out of money, running out of money which I don't like. I think it has been exaggerated. Running out of money in the meantime some of our employees in the civil service area have been treated fairly and properly.
Yes, they may have been paid late salaries but nevertheless, the salaries have been forthcoming. The allowances to the families of war veterans in some cases have been zero and I don't like that. We only get to know when they tell us. That should not have happened at all or should never happen. Then of course we want them to be righted.
Earlier on we tried to establish co-operatives for them but you see co-operatives are a proposition that is very difficult to keep intact because if 10 people are members of a co-operative and are expected to work alike, make the same contribution in terms of their skills to the co-operative sooner or later some start not giving their skills, absenting themselves, not working as hard as others and the few who work hard and consistently start giving in then you have quarrels and there is that breakdown of the co-operative eventually. But we have tried. There is need also for the training of the war veterans. We try to give them that necessary training at various institutions, Chaminuka, etc.
We have tried our best. In some cases we have also wanted them to undertake businesses .We wanted them to be part of the Telecel organisation which (James) Makamba and his relative Mai (Jane) Mutasa monopolised. They had a niche there but they were pushed out. I am sure they will be telling us new stories so on and so forth. We would also want suggestions from them.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello - my name is Leanne and it will be my pleasure to assist you today.
When did you start with your employer? Have you been fired?
I have started working in this restaurant about two months ago
Thank you. If you are receiving less favourable treatment based on, in this case sex, then you may have grounds for sex discrimination
yes, as I wrote he hit his hand on the table and shouted than he doesnt want to work with me anymore
In this case if the jokes are based on your gender, then you may well have a claim
I see - then if they do fire you, you may be able to clai
what if i want working on any contract?
Normally you would need 2 years service to bring a claim for unfair dismissal, but if it is on the grounds of sex, then you do not need this period.
i was paid 'to hand'
You do not necessarily need a contract. A contract of employment can be implied by law. It makes no difference whether you are paid cash in hand
You still should not suffer any unfavourable treatment because of your sex
so what am i suppose to do now?
If you have home or motor insurance with legal cover, this may also cover you for any claim at a Tribunal
yes, i think same
I would first raise the objection with your employer, so that they are on notice that you will take action.
oh another thing. im not uk citizen, im from poland. so i would like to ask- if it comes to all fees i wont be able to cover it myself. is it any possibility i can get support?
what am i suppose to say to him?
The Equality Act 2010 says you must be treated the same as someone who is male
Raise a formal complaint and say that you have been treated less favourably because of your sex.
You should raise a formal complaint. If your employer does nothing about it then you can raise a claim at an Employment Tribunal
how will he react? how this complain should looks like?
I can not say how he will react - you can either complain verbally or in writing, it is a matter for you
im not sure he will do anything. its done, he fired me and the way how it ended doesnt make me want to work for him anymore
i feel really bad that he had treated me like that, every single thing i said was just rejected and explanation was that this guy didnt meant it
I understand. In that case if he has fired you, you could bring a claim at the Employment Tribunal for sex discrimination.
Please see: http://www.justice.gov.uk/forms/hmcts/employment
what about my question with court and solicitor fees? i wouldnt be able to afford this.
If you have home or motor insurance with legal protection then this may cover you.
There are no Court fees because a Tribunal is free
And you could represent yourself, as Tribunal Judges deal with litigants in person all the time
i dont have any insorances
insurances, sorry
Ok. Well you can issue a claim online yourself. The citizens advice may help. You wont get legal aid as the rules changed April this year
So your only option is to try and go it yourself - but Tribunals are not very scary, the Judge will help you
may you tell me, how this kind of thing looks like?
is it any open trial?
It seems like you are being treated less favourably because you are female so that would be discrimination
Its open, but its not like Court
what if im not sure if i will have any witnesses?
i bet other guys who were working with me wont say anything
Its a matter for you whether you bring a claim. I can only tell you what the legal position is
i understand
Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
if you say i should write a complain- what should i write? and what my employer should do for me, if i dont want to work there anymore?
You should set out what the position is, what was said etc. If you intend to resign and claim constructive dismissal you should do that sooner rather than later because otherwise if you try and claim that a Tribunal will think you are ok with what your employer has done
the reason i was dismissed will be i wasnt working well for sure and it will make me felt even worst
so this is not what i want and i cant see any good point from writing a complaint
Yes. But the treatment you have suffered is because of your sex and that is why you have a claim
If you do not wish to take it to a Tribunal then there is not much you can do
This aside, if you wanted to bring a claim for unfair dismissal without sex discrimination then you would need 2 years qualifying service for being dismissed - you do not have this and any claim would fail
I am sorry as I know this may not be the answer you want, but I have a duty to tell you the honest answer, even if it is not necessarily what you want to hear
so i didnt work long enough to do anything after what happened? thats riddiculous
You need 2 years to bring a claim for unfair dismissal that is the law. Unless you bring a claim for sex discrimination - and I have already told you what you need to do for that
But I agree, the law is not ideal. In fact it recently changed from 1 year to 2 years service before you can claim
ok, i think i know everything. thats for your help!
Welcome - please remember to give me a great rating, even though it may not be the answer you want. Thanks
Can I assist further?

Fitness & Style Are King In Pre Season
Paul Lambert has said his only concern this pre season is for the players to gain fitness, and gain the confidence to make mistakes when trying to play the right way - results are irrelevant.
Speaking to the Official Site ahead of the pre season kick off against Burton, Lambert reiterated that results were not the be all and end all for pre season, there were far more important things he wants to see from the team such as 'to get into a way of playing and get their confidence going.'
Sounds quite good doesn't it, as long as our senior centre halves don't get to pick the style!
'I never read too much into pre season games to be honest, it's nice to win but the main thing for me is to get the team fit and get them into a way of playing and get their confidence going and not be frightened by making mistakes. It's new, there's a freshness about it for them and they can go and express themselves. Once it starts for real that's when it matters.'
Paul continues to explain that he's had pre seasons where a game hasn't been lost, but the league campaign has started atrociously, whereas he's had very unsuccessful pre season results and started the league campaign brightly.
I get where he's coming from in results not really mattering but we all know a decent pre season under the belts does do a lot for confidence, and with the games we have set up we should be looking to win them and convincingly in most cases really.
West Ham however is different prospect...
'We will go down there and try to win, that's important. It's a really tough game but I am not going to go there and sit on the back foot really. We have to go there on the front foot and the best way to do that is to try and attack.'
Attack - what's that?

Federal TV channels are tricked Yashin at the premiere of the film about Magnitsky
Vice-Chairman of Parnas Ilya Yashin told how once he was deceived by the Russian state TV channels. They not only showed a recorded interview with him, but said that the opposition refused to comment.
photo: Gennady Cherkasov
The incident occurred after a demonstration in Washington of the film Director Andrei Nekrasov about the death of Sergei Magnitsky Magnitsky Act. Behind the scenes". In the film we are talking about the fact that the accusations against the so-called "untouchables" — law enforcers and officials allegedly contributed to the death of a lawyer, was fabricated. While the Magnitsky Nekrasov suspects of complicity in the fraud of William Browder.
After the presentation, to which were invited representatives of the us Congress and the US state Department, Russian TV channels have expressed the desire to interview Yashin, also present in the room.
As he writes himself, reporters caught him by the sleeve, and the politician decided to give them a review, despite the fact that he considers these media propaganda.
In the interview, Yashin has listed a number of facts which, in his opinion, do not correspond to the claims in the film. In particular, we are talking about the fact that Magnitsky had allegedly been accused investigators Karpov and Kuznetsov in the theft, although in his testimony, says Yashin, their names are 27 times. Also in the film, according to policy, it is argued that Magnitsky before his death was beaten in prison, which is refuted by the data of the forensic examination.
In the end, Yashin promised that his point of view will give the scenes of the premiere of the film, but in the end the Federal TV channels were limited to the message that "opponents Nekrasov loudly, but to answer our questions on the merits."
Yashin words are confirmed by the video of the interview to Federal TV channels, posted in his blog.
In addition, the journalist "the New newspaper" Alexander Garmazhapova present in this situation, said that the reporter tried to "soften" the opposition, saying that it works on your TV channel only out of necessity to feed the children and has nothing to do with propaganda. Thus later the air was released including footage shot with this, God forgive me, a journalist on the sly. For example, our conversation with Karina Orlova" (the last journalist known for his extremely critical towards the current situation in Russia's position, often causing rejection in the environment of the opposition).
We add that the Director of Nekrasov, rather, not as a defender of the operating Russian authorities, and as their opponent. He emigrated from the USSR, in 2007 he directed the film. The Litvinenko case" (banned in Russia), and in 2010 signed the appeal "Putin must go". Critical in relation to Russia has become the film "Russian Lessons" about the Russian-Georgian war of 2008.
The rejection of the opposition called it a film about Belarus "Together. Forever," where critical was shown by the Belarusian opposition (they were played by hired actors), who was jailed after the election victory of Alexander Lukashenko.
Recall that the last time the figurant "the list Magnitsky" the ex-investigator Pavel Karpov has developed active judicial activity: he filed lawsuits against state Duma Deputy Dmitry Gudkov and politician Alexei Navalny, trying to prove that the accusations against him of involvement in the murder of lawyer are slander. While Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika has accused William Browder in anti-Russian activities and compromised the highest officials of the Russian Federation.

`Dr. Death' has 'million-dollar fund' to fight his extradition to AustraliaMarch 19th, 2008 - 1:28 pm ICT by admin
Melbourne, Mar.19 (ANI): Controversial Indian born surgeon Dr. Jayant Patel reportedly has millions of dollars that could help him to fight his extradition to Australia on manslaughter charges, a US court has heard.
Dr Patel, also known as Dr. Death for fatally botching the surgeries of 17 of his patients, had earlier told a US judge he could not afford a lawyer to help him avoid facing charges in Australia related to his time at Queensland's Bundaberg Base Hospital.
But a bail hearing for Dr Patel in Portland, Oregon, heard the Indian-born doctor might have more money to defend himself than first claimed, and now may be denied US government-funded legal aid to fight his extradition, news.com.au reports.
Whether Dr Patel receives legal aid and if he will be granted bail is expected to be ruled on in the next week, after Judge Dennis J Hubel reserved his decision in the US District Court in Portland on Tuesday.
Dr Patel, 57, will meanwhile remain behind bars in Portland's high-security Multnomah County Detention Centre, where he has been since his arrest by the FBI on March 11.
Judge Hubel did not say when he will announce his decision on bail, but it is likely to be next week. April 10 has been set as a provisional date for the extradition hearing.
Prosecutors said Dr Patel and his wife control several million dollars in assets, including stocks, bonds, retirement accounts, equity in jointly owned property and cars.
On Tuesday, the courtroom was packed with more than 40 friends, family members and supporters of Dr Patel. (ANI)

I want to make my code run another (class) file in the same source folder(jar file). How would I do that?
thanks for any help, its greatly appreciated!
Classes aren't run. Classes are loaded, their instances are constructed, their methods are invoked and their fields are assigned and accessed. None of that constitutes 'running' a class.
Programs are run. For a Java program, the entry point is the public static void main(String[] args) method of a class.
Post code that illustrates what exactly you are trying to accomplish.
edit Looks like it's my turn to be the slow old sod
You don't run another class; you either run a (static) method from another class or from an object (instantiation) of that class.
kind regards,
Sorry if its messy.
(also yes, I do need help with getting the username XD, and dont bother with my site, I just used it as an upload server :P)
People here generally won't download random files, for what should be obvious reasons.
here's his code..guys, no one is trying to kill you with a file
anyway, you should make a specific method in the other class, make an object for it and simply call it...Code:
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import Utils.Logging.Logging;
import GUI.Screen.ScreenMain;
public class Along_The_Rails extends JFrame {
public Along_The_Rails(){
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger Log = Logging.Log;
String startString = "Along The Rails Started on: " + System.getProperty("os.name") + " " + System.getProperty("os.version") + " (" + System.getProperty("os.arch") + ")";
Most of us worry and for good reason, but this is getting off topic. The bottom line is, if you want folks to evaluate your code on a forum, post the code to the forum. If the code is too big to post to the forum, then you're asking volunteers to review too much code and you'll need to refactor and reduce it.

In what should be one of those no-brainer decisions, the developers behind Mailbox have plans to bring the app to iPad, with desktop and Android clients not far behind, TechCrunch reports. There is no ETA on a desktop version, Mailbox developers tweeted, but it did confirm that the iPad version is in development.
Mailbox did away with its reservation system last week, the first key step in expanding to the iPad and other platforms. While the app initially gained a lot of users, expanding beyond the iPhone is imperative for users to keep using it. It was one of the key criticisms TUAW staffers had when we reviewed Mailbox collectively, and my stint with Mailbox lasted a couple days until I realized that Mailbox just couldn't integrate with my workflow as long as it remained iPhone-only.

I'm using the Twenty Eleven theme and I would like to set up a page as shown here in the demo: http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com/showcase/
I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I set up a page, assigned it the showcase template format, selected that page as my static front page and then tagged my most recent post as a sticky post. The page shows up, but there is a blank area under "Featured Post" (which I would have thought should have been my most recent post "Sticky Buns" that I tagged as sticky) and then the page starts with my second most recent post. What I really want to do is to just have one or two recent posts show up on my homepage, instead of the infinite scroll, and I thought this would be a good workaround, except it isn't working.
The blog I need help with is sugartalk.wordpress.com.

A compound remedy, designea to bo the most
eiTcctual Alterative that con be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Safsaparilla,
to combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power at to afford aa effec
tive antidote for the diseases Barsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It ie believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who eiiTcr from
Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must provo of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
ScnoruLA. and Scnopeious Complaints,
EuomoNs axd Euuptivb Diseabes, Uloeus,
Pimples, Blotches, Tuxons, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, McnctiniAL Disease, Duopsy, Neu
ralgia or Tio Doclouiieox, Debility, Dys
pepsia and Indiorstiox, Erysipelas, Rosb
on St. Anthony's Fiub, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arisin; trnn Impi'kity op
thb Slood.
This compound will Bfi-Aund n great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that eeason of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
ore nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
eoret, through wliioh the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
tlu through ths natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. - Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you iind it is ob
structed and sluggish in ths veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy bettor health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well I but with this
nabulum of Ufa disordered, titers can ha no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great mashinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations or it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for It, but more because many preparations,
protending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the pulilio havo been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsanorilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds, upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and lias become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call tliis compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy wliich rests
upon it. And wo think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is Intend
ed to euro. Li order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

tbe people of the State:

ot you who have been led away by tbe f.l.e
god of seceseion. fane that if tha st.i .v,.,m
once proclaim herself a member of (be cotton
ouuieueracy, ner trouoies would all be ended.
Lay not the flattering unction to yonr souls.
Missouri has now declared ber loyalty by near
ly a buodred thousand majority, and even If
she had proved an ungrateful traitor to tbe Gov
ernment that bae founded and fostered all ber
interests, that Government would sacrifice its
last man aod spend its last dollar before it
would abiodon Missouri. When the (Jolted
States Government surrenders its right to nav
igate tbe Atlantio ocean, it may abandon its on
ly thoroughfare to the Pssifio not before.
Rather tban give up Missouri to a rebel rule,
It territory will bs desolated as by fire, and
then opened to new settlement by loyal citi
tens. Who brought this unnatural and unholy strife
to our borders? Not tbe people, for they voted
loyally with a vim that caused treason to turn
pale and tremble with fear. Tbe very men
who Insisted upon calling conveotion, with
tbe belief tbat It would carry out their traitotous
schemes, being checkmated by the body tbey
had called into existence, have inaugurated this
war to carry out tbelrplan in spite of the people.
Tbe late Governor, having been repudiated, aod
having left tbe State, In disgrace, has returned
with a host of foreign enemies to wage a relent
less war upon Its citizens. There can be no
Deace for Mineonri until thaaa rnlM... tni.,.

smb to remove fAe burden of the umr fiom the
cotton to th bmitr State. Virginia was first
drawn into tbe snare, and ber dearest interests
will be ruined, let tbe congest end as it may.
Missouri has been dragged into the same hor
rid vortex by a few disappointed demagogues,
snd our only hope of rescue is by driving back
the invading foe. from our borders.
Missouriaosl You wbo stilt preserve devo

is no time to bait between two opinions.
With jou it is a simple question of lile or
death. If tbe man whom yon have repudiated

Departure of the Second Regiment
Fire Zouaves.
Yesterday was another eventful dav with the
Si Regiment Fire Zusves. Shortly after i

would render tbe marcn unpleasant. Under
tneie circumstances, tbe regiment was marcn ed

Col, Fairm.n took advantage of tbe opportunity,
and requested tbe close attention of tbe whole

greater importance to tbem He then proceed

cera In turn to obey and respect their superior
Information having reaobed him. that tbeir
officers bad met in tbe earlier part of the day

sword," "Draw it," was thundered lurtn by el
moat every soldier In tbe square ; "Shall I be
your Colonel?" was responded to by a unani
mous "Yes" on the part of the reeiment. Next
be went in front of each compaov lo line and re
peated tbe query as to whether tbey were willing
to marcn under nis command, and each compa
ny was unanimous iu its determination to fol
low no other man to the battle-field tban Col
Fairman. Comoany A was tbe only one wbicb
decline I to make any demonstration
Before marching in front of the soldiers, the
majority ot the Csptaios and Lieutenants left
their pjsts aod approaohed Col Fairman, point
ing tneir swords at mm aod calling bim a
scoundrel. CaDt. Burns, of Company A, ap
peared to take the lead in the meetiog, followed
up by Captain Smith, of Company B, and five
others, whose names our reporter was not able
to procure at toe moment.
Col. Fairman ordered them all to tbetr potts
again, and immediately led the regiment off for
tbe seat of war. Thev marched up Chatham
street snd Bowery to Eighth street, thence to
Broadway and down to tbe Battery, turning to
Pier No 3 North River, where tbey went on
board the Red Jacket. Owing to some delay in
raising steam, they did not leave tbe wharf un
til about Bft o'oiock. A number of the soldiers
were left behind, having remained too long tak
ing farewell ot tbeir Irieods.
In reference to the vote of tbe reeiment tak
en in the Park, there waa no doubt as to wbo
was tho choice of tbe rank and file of tbe regi
ment at Colonel. Indeed, throughout tbe dav,
the men hed been throwing out threat! of
pitching into tbe officers If tbey should make
any open demonstration .against bim. It is
also due to the soldiers to state that when the
offloers left their respective posts to approach
tbe Colonel, not a man. left his place la the
Tbe regiment went to Washington via Elit
bctbport and Harrisburg.
This regiment mastered in pretty full strength
yesterday mornlog at tbe Battery, expecting to
reoeive orders to march to tbeir new quarters,
when the command would be reoruited to Its
full standard. As no ordere bad arrived, the
men went borne again. Tbe Zouaves seem
unanimously inclined to resume service if prop
er cflk'srs are appointed. Yesterday afternoon
Port Scboyler was spproprlated to tbeir use.

My experience with KDE4 is that the distro you try it with will make a big difference to your opinion.
I was a fan of Kubuntu in the days of KDE3, but when they switched to KDE4, I found it a terrible experience. True, KDE4 was still quite new back then and things have improved, but I've tried it again more recently, and I'm still less than impressed. The Kubuntu team seem to have made no effort at all to customise KDE4 in the way they did for KDE3; they've basically just slapped a default KDE build onto an Ubuntu base and called it Kubuntu. Not good enough. I found recent Suse versions to be similar as well.
But the one distro I have really enjoyed using KDE4 with has been Mandriva. It seems like they've made a real effort to work with the software, understand where its strengths and weaknesses are, and build a distro that actually makes KDE4 into a useable desktop, rather than an unstable special effects showcase, which is what everyone else seems to want to do with it.
I've been using Mandriva with KDE4 at work for the last six months (I'm a programmer), and it's been as good as or better than the older KDE3-based Kubuntu release it replaced in most respects.

Emirates says 25 dollars a barrel of oil "reasonable"
UAE Oil Minister Obeid bin Seif al-Nassiri said Tuesday that 25 dollars a barrel was a "reasonable" price for crude oil, urging producers to cooperate to ensure the stability of the market.
"A fair price for both the producers and consumers must be between 22 and 28 dollars a barrel," Nassiri told Al-Ittihad newspaper.
"That is linked to market conditions but I think that 25 dollars a barrel is a reasonable price," Nassiri said.
"Stability in the market relies on cooperation and coordination between the producing countries to realise their mutual interests," said the minister, whose country is a member of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
"OPEC must accommodate several political and economic factors" in facing up to booming oil prices, Nassiri added. "We hope that economic interests will prevail."
"Oil is a strategic commodity that must not become a source of tension between countries," he warned.
According to Nassiri, "producer countries care foremost about their interests in trying to reach a fair price without harming global economic growth."
He also warned against any unilateral production hike, saying that such a move "would lead to a saturation of the market that neither producers nor consumers want."
In London, benchmark Brent crude for October delivery traded Monday at 31.10 dollars a barrel, as analysts predicted a relatively steep price fall unless oil production levels are cut once winter is over in the northern hemisphere.
In New York, light sweet crude for September delivery climbed 77 cents to 32.76 dollars a barrel.
Nassiri added that the oil sector in the United Arab Emirates, whose OPEC production quota is 2.219 million barrels per day, accounted for 40 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
"Revenues generated directly or indirectly from oil are almost 80 percent of budgetary receipts," Nassiri said, urging producer countries to utilise their oil money to diversify their economies and reduce their dependence on oil. – (AFP)
