ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M EDITORIAL PASSION No matter how passionate one is about Zimbabwe, one should not tie one's happiness to the success of the Zimbabwean story. It's going to be a long and gruelling yet satisfying road to progress. The solution is not going to come overnight. There will be several setbacks and disappointments. There will be days that feel like defeat. There may also be recurring failures. None of that should stop one. As someone once said, we have to keep fighting - day in, day out, blow after blow. We don't know which blow will be the fatal one. Leaving the boxing match is not an option - through blood, through sweat, through tears, through arrests, through bans and through brutality. We have to keep going - when momentum is high and when it is low. But, life is happening as we fight. Flowers are blooming. Babies are being born. Art remains art. Family surrounds us. Spring is turning to summer. Home cooked meals remain sumptuous. Gardening remains a pastime. Good health is still wealth. Wildlife and nature remain a sight to be hold. Reading and writing are still a worthwhile sanctuary. Sunsets are still glorious. There is beauty to be savoured in the madness. It's so critical at this time to ensure one's happiness is internally driven; it mustn't be suspended in the hope of 'better days' to come. Beauty does not cease to be beauty just because it's seated in madness. The madness will end but beauty springs eternal. Let's make Zimbabwe great again. #thisflag Fadzayi Mahere ++++ Watchdog !!

Together they undertake the perilous journey to Mozambique. Once in camp there, the East German Stasi tutors them on the foul art of terrorist war. In 1985, Oliver York, home from self-imposed exile in Scotland opens a business in Harare. Rosemary, his neighbour, approaches him with a plea to rescue her youngest daughter from an abusive father.

Failure is not an option,' 7th April 2013 'There's some really sad news for us,' I said. 'Margaret Thatcher died yesterday.' 'She was a wonderful person who honoured her word.' 'Do we publish our book, to keep the promise ' 'Yes we must. It is the correct moment and that's what She wanted us to do.' 'Will anyone be hurt ' 'No, it's history.'

MATABELELAND. ++++ THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO THURSDAY 19 OCTOBER FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M. 'Florence Foster Jenkins' is the true story of the New York heiress and socialite who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The voice Florence (Meryl Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give a public concert at New York's Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew... 'Truly superb performances from Streep and Grant. Grant in particular is sublime. A witty script that slowly reveals the sorrow and love of an imperfect but genuine relationship.' [Amazon] 'Unlike Florence, director Stephen Frears manages to hit most of the right notes and in the right order.' [Daily Express] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 20 OCTOBER BERLIOZ: BEATRICE ET BENEDICT ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M. Love conquers all in Berlioz's sparkling take on Much Ado About Nothing. The age-old premise of verbal sparring to mask true feelings of love is employed to magnificent effect in 'Beatrice et Benedict' which will be shown in the 2016 Glyndebourne production. Berlioz selected the sunniest and funniest elements of the play and set them to ravishing music to create this witty love-hate duel - he described it as 'a caprice written with the point of a needle'. 'The music is glorious, containing duets and trios that are totally sublime. With the two lovers (or haters ) superbly played by Stephanie d'Oustrac and Paul Appleby, and the rest of the cast including the chorus on great form as well, the singing was faultless.' [Sunday Express] 'I loved everything about Laurent Pelly's elegantly monochrome production of Berlioz's rom-com. Stephanie d'Oustrac's chic, gamine Beatrice and Paul Appleby's golden-toned Benedict exude charm, and the drunken revels which open Act Two are a slapstick delight.' [Presto Classical] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN: WEDNESDAY 25 OCTOBER KARIBA DINNER: PETER EDMEADES ACADEMY AT AT 6.00 FOR 6.30 P.M. After the success of the 'History Dinners', here's a Kariba Dinner! Peter Edmeades will talk on Kariba Dam - its past, present and future. There will, as usual, be a sumptuous two-course dinner, and tickets are $25 per head, available from the Academy - cash or swipe machine. THURSDAY 26 OCTOBER GOLDENEYE [BOND 17] ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M. GoldenEye was the first film in the Bond series to star Pierce Brosnan. 007 teams up with the lone survivor of a destroyed Russian research centre to stop the hijacking of a nuclear space weapon. But he is up against an enemy who anticipates his every move: a mastermind motivated by years of simmering hatred. He also squares off against Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon... 'Supercharged with spectacular, thundering, brain-numbing fun.' [San Francisco Chronicle] 'It's hard to deny that this is one of the most entertaining entries in the Bond cycle.' [Chicago Reader] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 27 OCTOBER EUROPAKONZERT ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M. The Bolshevik Revolution began on 25 October 1917 (old style - 6 November by our reckoning!) so something Russian seems appropriate and this Berlin Philharmonic Europakonzert was recorded in the Great Hall of Moscow's Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Simon Rattle conducted Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, Bruch's Violin Concerto No.1 (with Vadim Repin) and Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. After the interval comes Shostakovich's Symphony No.12, sub-titled 'The Year 1917' and probably his most approachable symphony. 'Fans of Vadim Repin's superlative playing will not be disappointed by his typically commanding account of the Bruch Concerto.. the Beethoven Symphony has numerous special moments, such as the increasingly hushed strings as the Allegretto theme unfolds.' [BBC Music Magazine] 'Gergiev perfectly managed to impart huge energy to all the forces and the Mariinsky whisked us to the epic year of 1917 described by Shostakovich's film-music-like symphony.' [bachtrack.com] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN: SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER JULIA ROBERTS' 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY! ERIN BROCKOVICH &MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M. Julia Roberts turns 50 on 28 October and to celebrate her special birthday, here is a birthday party and 'Erin Brockovich' is the true story of a single mother of three who, after losing a personal injury lawsuit, asks her lawyer, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), if he can help her find a job. Ed gives her work as a file clerk in his office, and she stumbles across some medical records placed in real estate files and discovers a cover-up involving contaminated water in a local community which is causing devastating illnesses among its residents. 'Entertaining, instructive, emotional, expertly directed and funny.' [Houston Chronicle] 'My Best Friend's Wedding' is a high-spirited romantic comedy that serves up something wild, something touching and something truly hilarious. Roberts dazzles as commitment-shy Jules Potter, who realises she is in love with her best friend Michael (Mulroney). There is just one catch: he's about to marry someone else. Full of devious plans, Jules will do anything to steal him back... except tell him the simple truth. 'Julia Roberts is at her vibrant best.' [San Francisco Chronicle] Admission: $10.00 [includes snacks and wine] KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN: BLESSING BLED CHIMANGA ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M. Blessing Chimanga live in Bulawayo - the energy, the voice, the marimba the dance! Blessing will be joined by his trio, Prudence Mabhena and Bulawayo Schools in an Academy 'Keeping the Doors Open' fund-raising concert Admission: $5.00 ($2.00 students) ++++ 3) Congratulations ++++ 4) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds Beryl Hillier.

A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS WAS OUT FROM THE U.K LAST WEEK AND DROVE WITH HER BROTHER UP TO HARARE FROM BULAWAYO. ALTHOUGH THE ROAD IS APPARENTLY NOW MUCH IMPROVED, THE TRIP WAS A NIGHTMARE AS THEY WENT THROUGH SIXTEEN ROADBLOCKS TRAVELLING UP AND EIGHTEEN ON THEIR WAY BACK. TOTAL COST FOR FINES FOR PETTY ITEMS (E.G. THE FRONT REFLECTORS ARE OLD AND WORN!!) WAS U.S.$180 FOR THE ROUND TRIP. SO THIS HIGHWAY ROBBERY CONTINUES UNABATED AND THE POLICE THUGS CAN BE LIKENED TO THE INFAMOUS HIGHWAY ROBBER DICK TURPIN WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS :- 1. HE WORE A MASK 2.HE ROBBED THE RICH TO PAY THE POOR AND THESE THIEVES ROB THE POOR TO PAY THE RICH. LITTLE WONDER THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO IN SOUTH AFRICA REFUSE TO TRAVEL TO ZIMBABWE BECAUSE OF THIS. IT IS ALMOST LAUGHABLE IF IT WAS NOT SO SERIOUS. IT HAS A SERIOUS IMPACT ON THE TOURIST INDUSTRY IN ZIMBABWE AND THEY ARE ROBBING PETER TO PAY BOB, WHILST SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT. THE PALTRY EARNINGS FROM THIS PRACTICE WOULD BE FAR EXCEEDED BY GETTING TOURISTS BACK TO VISIT ZIMBABWE. HOPEFULLY A NEW GOVERNMENT IN ZIMBABWE NEXT YEAR WILL PUT A STOP TO THIS PRACTISE WHICH MAKES ZIMBABWE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. ONE ROADBLOCK MADE THE PASSENGERS REMOVE THEIR SHOES AS THEY HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED WHEN STOPPING CARS THEY MUST LOOK IN THE BOOTS! IT IS HIGH TIME THIS PRACTISE WAS CEASED FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL, BUT DO YOU THINK IT WILL EVER HAPPEN DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH.
