Hwange visit November 2017

How lovely it was to see the park looking so lush on a recent trip to Hwange. Some early widespread rain has clothed the veld in glorious shades of green. Delicate new Mopane leaves, waxy and glistening, range in colour from pale yellow and orange to deep russet red, and some of the teak trees are already bearing pretty purple blooms. There are pools of natural water lying in various dips and hollows, and the pans are filling up nicely aided by the solar pumps which have been installed at most water holes and have proved extremely successful so far.

Animals are widely dispersed, but we did see some lovely herds of elephant enjoying a drink and a splashy mud bath, a herd of buffalo three hundred strong relishing new green grass in the vlei, two large herds of roan antelope their coats sleek and shining, and the usual variety of kudu, wildebeest, sable, zebra, giraffe, reed buck, dainty little steenbok, black backed jackals and of course lots of impala, many with tiny, newborn fawns on long, gangly legs. Cats proved elusive, but we were rewarded with a sighting of an awesome male lion at Ngamo and a beautiful pair of lionesses hunting at Backpan. We spied one of the male lions of the coalition near Main Camp waving his paw in the air some distance from the road, but irritatingly, he refused to lift his head or show his face. Tortoises of various sizes ambling through the bush were a delight, as were warthogs with litters of cute, miniature piglets. And although we didn't see them, hyena were frequently heard whooping at night and in the early dawn.
Birds
With the migrants back in numbers, birdlife in the park is spectacular. Several pairs of Pied Avocets at Salt Pan and another pair at Deteema are causing excitement in avian circles. Special to see are Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters at Shumba, and we found a glorious Greater Painted-snipe near Masuma Dam. Rufous-naped Larks may be found singing on tree stumps all up and down the roadside. Black and Yellow- billed Kites by the hundred swoop down on hapless frogs, and many smaller raptors are frenziedly feasting on termites - a sure sign of summer in Hwange.
Water
The water situation throughout the park has been good throughout the year. Gary experienced a few anxious days at the end of the dry season when a cloudy spell of weather meant the solar pumps produced scant water. With temperatures soaring, asides from water to drink, elephants need to bathe to avoid overheating, and the levels in the pans quickly dropped. The situation resolved with the onset of some rain when the pachyderms headed towards
the south of the park in numbers, and the solar pumps quickly replenished water levels. Friends of Hwange has so far drilled a total of 13 new boreholes and installed over thirty solar pumps throughout the Main Camp region. Most recently, WWF assisted
with funds to equip five pans in the far south of the park. These
pans are very important as they are the first in line when parched elephants travel northwards at the onset of the dry season. However, Mbazo was found to need a new borehole as was Secheche, so FOH stepped in to fund these. It is a priority to equip these new holes asap, and as ongoing maintenance is also a constant concern, fund raising remains a top priority.
Community Outreach
We acknowledge the importance of providing some assistance to the park's staff and villagers living close to the boundary of the park. In the past year, generous help has enabled us to provide a comprehensive range of drugs and medical supplies for the clinic in Main Camp. This is the hub from which Sister Mhlanga travels to outlying stations, covering an area in the west of Zimbabwe from Victoria Falls to Beit Bridge. In addition, we have installed a new solar pump at Mabale which provides water for their clinic and school. FOH together with Wilderness also funded a solar pump at Mtshayeli recently which supplies the clinic, school and whole community and their livestock with clean water. Asides from the enormous goodwill engendered, this prevents the need for the villagers to drive their livestock into the park for water and grazing.
Animal Rescue
Snaring for bush meat is an ongoing problem. We have managed to help in removing snares off several wild dogs, elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena and various antelope. It is an immense relief to be able to assist when a report comes in of an animal in distress, and we thank Paul de Montille of D.A.R.T for his time and efforts in finding and treating affected wildlife, often at considerable personal risk to his own safety.
Donations
As always, we are extremely grateful for all donations large and small - every dollar really does help to make a difference. Without this constant support, we cannot continue our vital work.

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO

THURSDAY 7 DECEMBER THE GRADUATE
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
'The Graduate' was released 21 December 1967
Ben has recently graduated from college, with his parents now expecting great things from him. At his 'Homecoming' party, Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father's business partner, has Ben drive her home, which leads to an affair between the two. But then he finds himself falling for Elaine, Mrs. Robinson's daughter. The music is, of course, by Simon and Garfunkel.
'The Graduate' is the funniest American comedy of the year.' [Chicago Sun Times]
'The Graduate' is both consistently funny and tragic. For older viewers, it's a reminder that you, too, were young once. For the young, it's a reminder that you too will grow old soon enough. If ever there were a film to unite the warring generations in mutual self-pity, here it is. [The Guardian, 15 June 2017]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 8 DECEMBER DIRTY DANCING - A 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M.
'Dirty Dancing' is the 1987 American romantic drama dance with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in the lead roles. It was a low-budget film by a new studio that became a massive box office hit and in its first twenty years earned over $214 million worldwide. It was also the first film to sell more than a million copies on home video and the soundtrack album generated two multi-platinum albums whilst 'The Time of My Life' won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for best duet.
'The dancing here brings out the sensual dreaminess of the songs. "Dirty Dancing" - what a great title! - is such a bubbleheaded, retro vision of growing up in the sixties (or any other time) that you go out of the theatre giggling happily. [New Yorker, 6 May 2013]
'Smart and funny, touching and unabashedly sensual.' [Los Angeles Times, 25 March 2013]
Admission: $5.00. Advance booking at the Academy - first fifty tickets get a free Coke!

THURSDAY 14 DECEMBER MEET ME IN ST.LOUIS
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
Sally Benson's short stories about the turn-of-the-century Smith family of St. Louis were tackled by a battalion of MGM screenwriters, who hoped to find a link to connect the anecdotal tales. After several false starts, the result was the charming valentine-card musical Meet Me in St. Louis. The plot hinges on the possibility that Alonzo Smith, the family's banker father, might uproot the Smiths to New York, scuttling his daughter Esther (Judy Garland)'s romance with boy- next-door John Truett and causing similar emotional trauma for the rest of the household. The songs are a heady combination of period tunes and newly minted numbers by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin, the best of which are The Boy Next Door, The Trolley Song and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
'Judy Garland has never been more spirited or more poignant.' [Observer, 18 December 2011]
'One of the great musicals.' [Time Out, 24 June 2006]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 15 DECEMBER MASSENET: WERTHER
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
Massenet's romantic opera Werther is based on Goethe's loosely autobiographical novel The Sorrows of Young Werther in which the hopeless love of the poet Werther for Charlotte, and her agonising responses reaches its tragic conclusion on Christmas Eve. In his first appearance in the role of Werther in Paris in January 2010, Jonas Kaufmann gave an astonishing performance as Werther which took the French operatic world by storm and he was supported by a superb French cast, including Sophie Koch as Charlotte and Ludovic Tezier as Albert.
'Kaufmann's singing...is rich and often extremely beautiful.. .[Koch] is a touching and dignified Charlotte... the playing is thoughtful and intense, and every care is taken over detail.' [Gramophone]
'On DVD it comes beautifully to life, with Sophie Koch's Charlotte much more involving in close-up than she was at a distance and Jonas Kaufmann an absolute dream of a Werther. Their scorching Act 3 duet will simply blow your head off.' [The Telegraph]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00):

SATURDAY 16 DECEMBER A CAROL SERVICE
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
A traditional carol service with Wings Over Jordan and guest performers.

3) Congratulations



4) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds



5) Roses And Raspberries
A few words of thanks from our Acting Chairman Mr Busani Bafana

Thank you for lighting our Hearts
Beautiful does not begin to describe it. Awesome is not even close. It was a perfect evening of music, lights and much love. The 2017 Light a Light and Carols by Candlelight evening was melodic as it was poignant. A great turn out on an evening, Bulawayo Island Hospice hosts annually to remember loved ones lost to cancer and to celebrate many cancer survivors. Cancer is a global health burden. In Zimbabwe more than 7000 cases of cancer are reported annually, according to statistics from the Zimbabwe National Cancer Registry. As Bulawayo Island Hospice, our mission is to provide support, quality care and counselling to persons who are terminally ill or suffering from life-threatening illnesses and to their immediate families free of charge.
Our Light a Light evening would not have been the success it was without the support of the general public, friends, well-wishers, donors, and volunteers. We would like to thank in particular: AP Glendenning & Zonkizizwe complex administration for the lovely venue, Mrs. Kathy Macdonald; Mrs Ferell Mitchel for the decor and the Xmas Tree; Mrs Jeanette Delport and young ladies of the Girls College Choir; Mrs Cecille Ferreira and the young gentlemen of the Falcon College Choir; Mr. David de Swart for the sound system; Redemption Marimba Bank from Nketa; Lesley and Ashley from L.N.A Stationers, Mrs Maggie Kriel and Morning Mirror for the advertising.

8) Bulawayo News

My name is Thelma Hodges I live in the south of England and I am raising money on behalf of a cause that is close to my heart. This is for underprivileged orphaned children and destitute pensioners who are facing extreme hardship owing to the dire economic situation in Zimbabwe. I'd like to make this Christmas an extra special occasion for them by raising money for them and participating once again in shoe box challenge run by The Bulawayo Santa shoebox project in Zimbabwe, Africa. This Goodwill is managed by a small team of vounteers and donors within the Bulawayo community. I helped raised $700 last year and it was wonderful to see the pictures of the beautiful happy children as they were given their box by Santa

A shoebox is filled with various items for the pensioners and this year it is stationery for the kids, so that they have stationery when they go back to school in January. These gifts are the only gifts these children and destitute pensioners receive for the year, so please, help us gift these gifts. This is a way of bringing christmas cheer to those less fortunate then ourselves, especially living in a 1st world country, some of us never seem to appreciate how lucky we are and how less fortunate places like zimbabwe are.

Once raised the funds are sent to Antonia Amyot and Fiona Burns via Worldremit Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

The Bulawayo Santa Shoebox project began in 2014. As a community initiative, the project distributes shoeboxes filled with both essential items such as toiletries and stationery as well as personalised gifts to underprivileged children and destitute pensioners within Bulawayo over the Christmas period.

The team collects shoeboxes, decorates them and fills them with items which are then distributed to those in need.

In 2014, 980 boxes were gifted, in 2015 that number increased to 1300 and in 2016, 1239 boxes were gifted.
Despite the current economic hardships faced by many within Zimbabwe the team are yet again fully committed to ensuring the success of this project in 2017,
Please help them reach their goal of 1401 shoeboxes for 2017. Please pledge $20 per box

Your help, no matter how small would be greatly appreciated!
