The jacarandas are blooming !! The jacaranda on the corner of our road in Suburbs, Bulawayo is always one of the first to bloom and we always anxiously scan the bare boughs daily for the exciting signs of purple. We have an annual vendetta with our Burnside cousins as to whose tree will be the first to burst forth in glorious purple profusion !! An interesting little fact about the jacarandas is that they were brought in from South America where in fact they flower not once but twice a year !! Go figure that one. Another interesting thing about Jacarandas is that some folk consider them to be vermin and indeed there have been moves afoot to eradicate them from areas of indigenous trees like the Matopos. Strange idea for environmentalists in a country bordering on the desert. A tree after all, is a tree and one should be grateful for all one can get to my simple mind. This time of the year in Zimbabwe is always a bit bleak. The country is dry, brown, dusty and untidy. The paper and plastic that has hidden in the grass for the past few months is a lot more noticeable somehow. The winter flowers have gone, the spring flowers are looking tatty and summer has arrived in full force. So we tend to get a bit grumpy and irritable at this time of the year. I suppose this might be from where the term "browned off" is derived !! But once the jacarandas arrive and the slightest promise of the rains looms, life takes on a much more rosy tint. One tends to watch movies made in England and Ireland during this season in Zimbabwe. Movies where there are endless fields of rolling emerald downs, where the mist falls gently on fields of the softest clover and where the women's faces are soft and smooth, creamy and unlined from the harsh African sun... However the unrelenting browns, khakis and the burnished colours of the African earth will always have the stronger pull for us Africans. I will always remember a holiday we spent touring Ireland when She Who Must Run was just eleven and She Who Must Sing was only a twinkle in her fathers eye !! He Who Must Be Obeyed (Or HEHOO as is affectionately termed) had just returned from a day of indulgence in the Irish countryside. He was all "Greened Out" after four weeks of unadulterated green grass. Green hedgerows, greens rolling downs, and little green people too. He had eaten his fill of Irish pub fayre with the odd Guinness and Scrumpy thrown in for good measure ( In those days our holiday allowance would only stretch to a couple of Guinness and one Scrumpy a day perhaps but only if one gave up the after dinner kitkat ) He sat down and turned on BBC One and there before his green eyes, was a documentary narrated by Terry Wogan of all people, on Zimbabwe. It was filmed at the height of winter with all the browns, the sepias, the yellows, the ambers, the oranges of a typical day at Hwange Game reserve, and with typical firmness and reserve , he changed his ticket to return home the very next day. He had had enough of the soft greens and was suddenly longing, aching for the browns of the land of his birth..... And so it is in Africa ....its ours, its in our blood, we will always be happier here where the mopani trees stand proud and stark and the knob thorns mass like candy floss along the road sides. If you need a lift, (you know the sort of lift I mean), the "my soul needs to be cosseted" type of lift, the "my heart is heavy" type of lift, , the "One foot in front of the other" type of lift, and you find the Jacarandas are taking too long to cheer you up, take a drive right now into the country along the Falls Road. There it is like heaven, all the acacias are in full bloom, masses of creams, yellows and whites. The Knob Thorn, the camel thorn, the hook thorn, the monkey thorn all in full flower, like rows of comfy clouds or acres of cotton candy floss, and too beautiful to be true. Oh my, its good to be home in Africa in the spring !! ++++++++++ NOTICES +++++++ Second-hand Clothing King George VI Centre is asking for good quality second hand clothing to give to our children this Christmas. We used to receive donations from the Children's Gift Clothing but for the past few years this organisation has not been able to assist us.

Scripture Union, an interdenominational Christian organisation works with young people from all backgrounds regardless of religion, race, creed or gender. We have the following programmes that are positively impacting Zimbabwe's young people; 1. HIV / Aids Life-skills Seminars: These Choose Freedom and Adventure Unlimited seminars conducted in Primary and Secondary schools equip young people for better decision-making and right choices in life. 2. Positive Peer Pressure Clubs & Camps: We run SU groups in our Primary and Secondary schools. The clubs meet weekly and play a key role in the life of the school, influencing Christian moral values and promoting respect and responsible behaviour among the young people. We also run inter-school camps. 3. Themba leNtandane Extended Family Orphan Care Project: This Scripture Union project supports children that have been orphaned largely through HIV / AIDS. We help orphaned children while in their extended families within the Makokoba, Mzilikazi and Nguboyenja suburbs of Bulawayo. We are currently working with about 200 orphans aged 6 to 18 assisting them with school fees, medication and psychosocial support. 4. Thuthuka Street Children Project: This is a Scripture Union project whose goal is the rehabilitation of street children. We meet the basic needs of street children, reuniting them with their families so that they can reach their full potential as independent individuals. We provide psychosocial support to the children and their families. The success of the above activities lies heavily on having adequate funding. As part of its fundraising efforts, Scripture Union is organizing a Golf Day at Harry Allen Golf Club on 30 October. We kindly invite you to participate in the fundraising activities for the above activities through sponsorship of the Golf Day. Sponsorship can be in the form of; a) sponsoring Tee boxes at $400 000 a Tee box b) sponsoring prizes c) donations in cash All Tee box sponsors will be allowed to advertise their services or products on the appropriate Tee Boxes.

Nokuthula has taken up the violin as well as the viola and it is the former instrument that she will be bringing to Zimbabwe for this visit. She was last here for the 2001 Bulawayo Music Festival but her career has advanced by leaps and bounds since then and she has performed extensively throughout the United States with appearances at the White House and with several major orchestras including the Atlanta, Baltimore and Indianapolis Symphonies, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra. The Washington Post commented that she 'plays beautifully, with dazzling technique in the virtuoso fast movements and deep expressiveness in the slow movements'. Nokuthula plays perhaps the most famous piece of classical music of them all, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, with the Bulawayo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Corrado Trinci on Saturday 23 October at 8.15 p.m. The following Tuesday, 26 October at 7.30 p.m., she plays sonatas by Grieg and Fauré as well as music by Coleridge-Taylor and Kreisler in recital with Jeanette Micklem. Both concerts take place in the Robert Sibson Hall at the Zimbabwe Academy of Music and booking for both is at Meikles. ++++MUSIC October sees the return of NOKUTHULA NGWENYAMA, the outstanding young American violinist whose father came from right here in Bulawayo.
