Oh no .....no hats and gloves for these forays ...instead one must wear an ensemble that would be suitable a) for running fast away from the cops and b) at worst for a couple of nights in the klink !! Oh yes ... there we were skulking down the dreaded taboo vendors' market area, looking for, of all things Inyouhuti !! Translated exactly ... wild bird seed !! Now I know one should not support those naughty bad vendors who are making an honest living, in favour of the formal traders who pay rates and taxes, but it is the bronze mannikins, the cut throat finches and the blue wax bills who rule the roost in our garden !! The bird seed bin was empty, the formal traders' doors were closed for stock taking and the din outside on the empty bird feeder was indignant to say the least..... And so the secretive excursion became necessary into the sad remnants of the once vibrant vendors' market. Elliot was the bird seed trader, and one had to catch his attention with a few well spaced nods and winks. His head would cock towards a stout shady tree behind which the nefarious transaction was to take place (out of sight of the dreaded gestapo !!) A bucket of bird seed costs $100,000.00 Zimbabwe dollars !! So $20,000 notes quickly changed hands, and an old sack full of bird seed was duly and furtively placed into the back of the car, accompanied by many hearty gesticulations of brotherly love from Elliot entreating us to visit him again soon !! Smug in my illegal purchase, happy in my bid to feed my hordes of little hungry birds, I was about to move elegantly into the drivers seat when chaos broke out . Mapolizi !! Mapolizi!! (Its the same in every language) and unwilling to draw attention to my automobile which already stood out like a sore thumb amidst the tatty wire scanias (pushcarts) I set off in an unladylike but furiously fast and undignified waddle in the opposite direction to the commotion. The vendors were wonderful. Appreciative of my custom, they blocked the path of the law enforcement agents so successfully and so skillfully, that I was able to dodge into a nearby shop and hide behind a potted plant until the furore had died down. Elliot was nowhere to be seen, he had probably been carted off...yet again.. for a night at His Majesty's displeasure, but my bird seed was safe and sound and my bronze mannikins were oblivious to the rigours I had had to endure in order to keep them well fed and happy. !! ++++++++++++ Golf Day at Country Club on Wednesday 28th September, with an auction after prize giving, to raise money for my sister and brother-in-law, who’s son was mauled by a lion on the 9th of August.

At 12.30pm Sonatas, by Deon Marcus Sonatas is a collection of personal poems written over a period of five years. They reflect Deon Marcus’ experiences and varied interests, whether in ancient history, art, music or poetry, and bring together aspects of life in their most basic forms. The poems in Sonatas are sometimes strangely utopian and hopeful, sometimes nostalgic and tragic. Some have the flavour of Africa, particularly Zimbabwe, but geography is secondary as the appeal of his work is universal. Few Zimbabwean poets have managed to move convincingly beyond the contradictions that colonialism has imposed on us; but Deon Marcus does; and he does it over and over again. There is so much wretched guilt, so much unrelenting accusation in the poetry of Zimbabwe and other Anglophone countries in Africa. Now here comes a voice, fresh as a 'Monet morning with the sun / breathing warmth across an ochre sky'. And it speaks of joy, the joy that grows out of a profound awareness that shadows don’t exist without light Deon Marcus is a poet - not from London or New York or Harare, but from Bulawayo - and we are very proud of him. John Eppel, The Zimbabwean The Sonatas launch will be followed by the Bulawayo launch of John Eppel's Songs My Country Taught Me, published by Weaver Press. +++++ At 4.00pm on Saturday 1 October Zimbabwe’s Cultural Heritage, by Pathisa Nyathi Zimbabwe’s Cultural Heritage is a collection of pieces on the culture of the Ndebele, Shona, Tonga, Kalanga, Nambiya, Xhosa and Venda. A brief historical background is given for each group, though the emphasis of this book is not on the histories of groups, but on their cultural practices. The book is based on published material, Pathisa Nyathi’s personal experiences and on interviews that capture the memories of elders such as the ‘mobile library’, Nyumbana ‘Driver’ Dube, Gogo Matshazi, Hudson Halimana Ndlovu, Lawrence Jenjezwa and Duncan Sinampande. Pathisa Nyathi gives the reader an insight into the world view of different peoples, through descriptions of their history and life events such as pregnancy, marriage and death. The book is intended for all those who are interested in the cultural practices of their own ancestors and the ancestors of others. The launch of Zimbabwe's Cultural Heritage will be accompanied by the Bulawayo launch of We Hold on to the Word of Lizard: a Small Anthology of Zimbabwean Ndebele Writing, translated into English and Czech by Alena Rettova. +++++++++++ The Bulawayo Publicity Association would like to inform the public that the National Parks & Wildlife have moved their offices from 11th Ave / H Chitepo St and are now at 1st Floor Coal House, R Mugabe Way btwn 9th & 10th Aves. ++++++++++ LITERARY ARTS at the INTWASA ARTS FESTIVAL koBULAWAYO For all book lovers, book club members, teachers, students, librarians, ...

The money raised from advertising will go towards "prize money" - the two main events being a Survivor type course and dance competition open to senior school children. (Alternatively you may consider providing a prize) Many of the events will comprise groups competing against each other. Furthermore, would you be prapared to consider sponsoring a team of walkers/ runners the course being from Petra High School back to Petra High approx 5 K's - the route will be marked with arrows. Your staff/ other walkers can wear Tregers T shirts/ or hold a banner or just walk. These " advertising costs" would go to Edith Duly in its entirety . giving the walkers some pocket money to buy a drink and something to eat would go towards Petra. To complete the picture there will also be 1) stalls - jewelley/wood craft/ home made toys etc. Suggested Cost per stall $150 000. Many of these stall holders top up their pensions by selling at these functions. 2) Creche 3)Tea/coffee/cake tent 4) Curry and rice and other food on Sale Other ideas still being worked on. I realise that there are many "begging bowls" out there so no matter how small the donation we would be so grateful. Should you have any ides/suggestions - these would be most welcome.
