"It caught me by surprise, a feeling tugging at me from the back of my throat. It was completely unexpected. My chest felt constricted. My breathing became shallow and then, I couldn't see. Almost of their own volition, out of nowhere, tears fell across my cheeks. I was, at a temporary clinic set up by SA charity Gift of the Givers near an overcrowded refugee camp in Mogadishu, Somalia. For the past five days I'd been reporting for South Africa's eNews Channel on starving babies, sick babies, babies with measles. I'd witnessed a litany of medical conditions; TB, gastro, cholera, leprosy, pneumonia - they all jostle for space here. I had looked mothers in the eye as I asked them about the treacherous journeys they'd undertaken for weeks, barefoot and dehydrated. They told me how they'd buried their children in strange lands along the roads. I felt pity for them, yes, but I didn't cry. I had stories to file for 13:00 and 19:00 deadlines. I needed to write, edit, do live shots, work with my cameraman, all the while staying alert and alive as sporadic gunfire clamoured just down the street, as common to Mogadishu as a dog's bark is in suburban Johannesburg. Then, I met Baby Salamo. She wasn't nearly as sick as the other babies we had reported on. Her mother wasn't as shabbily dressed and had a smiling, hopeful face as she watched the Gift of the Givers paediatricians insert an intravenous drip into her daughter's tiny hand. The baby whimpered, her petite lips circled into a tiny, emaciated yell, and she stretched out her free hand. I reached toward her outstretched hand with my index finger and she gripped it tightly, looking me right in the eye and screaming bloody murder. I was overwhelmed. It all went blurry after that. The paediatrician continued with his work unperturbed by the weeping wannabe war correspondent. Salamo and I cried together. Her mother looked at me, a concerned look on her face, and rubbed my shoulder affectionately. This kind gesture from a person who had nothing forced another torrent of tears. Baby Salamo was undergoing the first step to recovery for a dehydrated baby. The doctors rejoiced when the mother, with a panicked look on her face, lifted up her baby to reveal a big wet spot. When a child gives an almighty wail and real tears pop out of her eyes, it's an achievement because dehydrated babies don't cry tears. Some are so listless they don't have the energy to do anything other than whimper. Looking back now, I'm not sure if it was the kindness of the doctors, dietitians, paramedics, and nurses that pushed me over the edge that day. Everyone was so tired and emotionally exhausted I assumed they had gone (like me) into robotic mode. Then, I noticed Ismail Vawda fussing over Baby Salamo, chatting patiently via translator to her concerned mother, finding out if she was still breastfeeding and what the baby's symptoms were. The young doctor looked so concerned and so sincere. Then it dawned on me. This man, dressed in his Islamic "topee" hat, scrubs and beard, who looked more like a kindly Papa Smurf than a paediatrician in a warzone, really did care about this baby. They all do. The tender way they assess these patients, you soon realise is not a mechanical act learned from some textbook. The joy they feel when a tiny patient starts to respond and begins to perk as the IV fluid runs into its veins, is all real. I struggled to believe the reality of it - here are people who are giving everything, asking for nothing and seeing genuine pleasure in their patients' recovery. These medical practitioners are all volunteers, taking either special leave or vacation leave to make the trip to Somalia. 'This for us is a privilege, not a burden,' says Fameeda Miller. 'We came here, during the holiest month of the Muslim calendar, to do God's work.' Baby Salamo left the clinic that day yelling her head off. Her mother, beaming with pride and thanking the doctors profusely. Thanks to the care Baby Salamo had received there, Vawda later told me, she would likely recover fully. Not all the people on this trip are Muslims, but a lot of them are. I didn't know much about the spirituality of Ramadan before this trip, but my eyes were opened. Prayers begin over loudspeaker at 04:00 every morning. The first morning it was a distraction, but every morning thereafter, it was a welcome comfort. It is one thing to pray, but it is another to help and then pray. To have unwavering faith. Somalia is about 98% Muslim, and when ordinary Somalis heard the call to prayer they'd slip out of the temporary hospital and spend a quiet moment meditating. Our drivers, the soldiers who looked after us, the volunteers from Gift of the Givers, were all incredibly disciplined about fasting, despite the long day and the incredibly hot, humid weather. The Muslim doctors would finish their day, after working on hundreds and hundreds of babies, and come home to pray for hours. And this, for them, was a privilege. 'Prayer helps us relax, to focus,' says Omar Jooma. In the field, and in Mogadishu especially, any ruthless competitiveness you may endure with another TV station, newspaper or radio station is sidelined. When I told SABC senior journalist, Vauldi Carelse about Baby Salamo and my reaction to it, she cried as well. All of us helped the 'competition'. The goal shifted from being the first person on the scene, or the person with the best visuals, to just getting the message out. Everyone, once in the famine zone, morphed into a team. It has been refreshing. The SABC, Eyewitness News and eNews teams all shared a room in the huge compound once owned by a former Somali minister and now acquired by Gift of the Givers as a base for this mission. It was a grand mansion, once upon a time. Complete with marble floors, elaborate chandeliers, four-poster beds and huge Jacuzzi bathtubs. All the broadcasters set up camp slightly removed from the rest. We keep longer hours and the sheer volume of our equipment requires more space than the niceties of our own comfort. We are fairly certain the rooms we slept in were once used as lodgings for domestic staff. The conditions were not great. None of us was sleeping for more than four hours a night, if that. Most of have been ill at some point. The water would go off, the electricity would go off and, being broadcasters, there was a host of technical problems that could go wrong everyday - batteries dying, microphones cutting out, visuals without sound, sound without visuals, and of course the caprice of the dreaded satellite transmitters, called BGANs, we use to send out our visuals back to South Africa. Let's just say, we had a few other four-letter names for those things by the time we left. At that stage it had become stupid to be competitive. There were so many stories around us and so many people with problems much greater than ours. We didn't need an alarm clock in Mogadishu, because we had the flies. Every morning at around 06:00, like clockwork, the flies would wake up and invade our hot, little room. One would invariably sit on my lip, trying to get into my mouth. If it wasn't the flies, (they don't like the rain much) then it was the gunfire. 'They carry guns like we carry cellphones' noticed SABC cameraman, Herbert Mamela. It seemed that everyone in Mogadishu owned a gun and, from the sound of it, everyone used it. Some were single shots, presumably fired into the air. Others were pulsating bursts of fire, heavy fire that could only come from an AK 47 or some sort of machine gun. That's the ongoing turf war between AU/Somalia Transitional Government Forces and the Al Shabaab militia. From the state of the weapons carried by our Somali bodyguard soldiers, I'm not sure how they actually ever fired their weapons. Some of them looked like they were from another century. The fighting, although just around the corner, seemed so far away and removed from us. Until, it was on our doorstep. 'Robyn, Robyn, come quickly, Meshack and Herbert have just been shot at!' I am watching a tiny baby being weighed by one of the dietitians, when my reverie is broken by Vauldi Carelse. She is clearly unhappy, her normally calm voice heightened by panic. Herbert is her cameraman. Meshack is my cameraman, and a good friend. My stomach sinks. 'No, no, no,' I think in a panic, 'Not Mesh. Please God. What will I tell his fianc e and baby girl?' 'Vauldi and I sprint from the clinic to find them. They appear fine, but shaken. Well, actually they are shaking, with laughter. I punch Meshack, and then hug him. I tell him I love him, and then I punch him again. He's laughing uncontrollably. I contemplate killing him myself. Laughter, it seems, is the only thing you can do when you have been shot at - and missed - by an unknown sniper, several kilometres away. 'We heard the shot, and thought it was a normal shot somewhere in the distance,' Mesh tells me. 'Then we heard it whiz past our heads. Herbert and I pulled each other down, and we turned around and everyone else had gotten down as well. When we stood up the soldiers were laughing at us, and then we started laughing as well.' Such is the precariousness of life in Mogadishu. One moment you are alive, the next you have been shot, perhaps by a stray bullet that comes from the sky or perhaps by a child using you for target practice. Meshack and I have covered many stories together. We've borne discomfort and danger together. In Afghanistan we lived in a tent pitched in the sand for a month. He is a lot more than just a colleague and I was suddenly horrified by what had just happened and was reminded of the gravity of the situation we are witnesses to here. I soon joined their laughter, because it was either that or cry. Again. We are in Somalia for a few more days, and every morning I can't wait to wake up and tell the next story. I find comfort in the dignity of the men and women who bring in their sick children. I find strength in their strength. I find warmth in the kindness of the doctors and nurses. In Somalia, I know that despite all the bad, there is just as much goodness." ROBYN KRIEL FROM THE DAILY MAVERICK http://dailymaverick.co.za +++++ APPEAL TO THE BULAWAYO PUBLIC Zenso ( medium height and build, dark skinned, late 30s - 40s ) and Moyo ( taller, shaven head, strong build, mid 50s ) both extremely well spoken, the two conmen/criminals offering pavers, granite stone and tobacco dust, taking money up front then disappearing, were arrested Tuesday 2nd August. They are in Bulawayo central cells. If anyone has lost money or property to these two please urgently phone Emma Whittaker L/line 230962 or e-mail ev@zol.co.zw with details. +++++++++ COMMUNITY MOBILISATION The City of Bulawayo, and its province, forms the working model for the Trust's activities. All programmes that are implemented are trialled in this city, fine tuned and specifically honed to achieve ultimate success. In the area of Local Government, the Trust works to consolidate the greater community by drawing together the City's Administrators, Residents and Ratepayers, Councillors and all other stakeholders to form an effective body to promote development and create a healthy living environment. Bulawayo was chosen as the pilot city because of its proud record and history as well as its relative efficiency and level of service delivery. Recently ZDDT has been supporting a number of Council objectives and these include: Rule of law and Authorised Urban Land Use Formation of regulated licensed small business (graduation from vending ) Energy Saving Programme Urban Greening and Cleaning Improved revenue collection Effective Councillor representation Restoration of infrastructure (roads, social amenities etc) All of these initiatives will promote interest in Bulawayo, invite investment and motivate and inspire those of us that choose this city as our home. We appeal to the business community to be proactive and make use of the representative platforms and channels that are available to ratepayers by getting to know your Councillor. Many of us forget that it is these elected officials who are the policy makers of our city and they are powerful and effective in directing the affairs of the Local Authority. Many of them sit on committees such as Business, Finance and Health and they all commit to the well-being of our urban community. ZDDT urges you to invite them to your business where you might discuss challenges of a Local Government nature (not ZESA! - your MP) and begin the process of mobilisation of opinion through this medium and your representative organisation, ABUZ. Recently, some of you may have seen and sensed an improvement in services within Bulawayo and you will probably have compared this to other cities and, in the process, felt proud to call Bulawayo your home. A number of business people have stopped to enquire of the Work Teams clad in orange, to offer assistance and praise. ZDDT is conducting questionnaires on Service Delivery at this very moment and shortly we hope to invite you to visit us at our website www.zddt.org where a poll on Service Delivery will be made available to you. This provides us with data for monitoring and evaluation purposes and scores and measures the progress of our city and the work of ZDDT. Contrary to what a lot of people say and think, the city is lead by a determined, motivated and skilled group of people who are dedicated to winning and they need everyone's help and participation in examining and confronting our challenges in a constructive and respectful manner. As community leaders, we again ask that business takes the initiative in this relationship as we can assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. The Trust has been conducting Customer Care training and recently presented accolades to the two BCC Telephone Exchange Operators for their exemplary performance of late. The average number of rings per call achieved betters most commercial operations and that goes to show that success can be achieved. Much still needs to be done but please give our City Fathers encouragement and support and lets pull together to rebuild our city and make it the shining example it used to be. Business derives its living from the people in our community and, if you would like to develop your Social Responsibility policy with us, please get in touch pr@zddt.org and we will explain to you the benefits of joining our Business Social Credit Scheme. It will be one of the best investments you will ever make! If you or any of your staff or workers would like to commit to the restoration of Bulawayo, please contact us and we can put you in touch with those who already have their shoulder to the wheel of progress and development.

The Indian Empire was built on men like these and now they're out to build an empire of their own, venturing into remote Kafiristan to become rich as kings. Packed with spectacle, humour, excitement and bold twists of fate, John Huston's film has earned a reputation as one of the screen's great adventures, and Michael Caine called it "the only film I've done that will last after I've gone". Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] MASSENET: MANON - BALLET Friday 12 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. The love story of Manon Lescaut and the Chevalier des Grieux is a lyric tragedy of innocence corrupted in the pleasure-seeking world of Paris in the early 18th century. The several pas de deux are among the highlights of Manon, and in them Kenneth Macmillan charts the downfall of the lovers, danced by Jennifer Penney and Anthony Dowell, from the first impassioned effusions of feeling to the desperate intensity of the third act when Manon's emotions burn high as the lovers face disaster. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO.5 / RICHARD STRAUSS: ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA Wednesday 17 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Mahler's Fifth (conducted by Leonard Bernstein) moves from an opening funeral march to the boundless joy of its finale and was dedicated by Mahler "to my dear Alma", whom he married whilst writing the symphony. Also Sprach Zarathustra (conducted by Herbert von Karajan) is perhaps Strauss's most famous symphonic poem with its opening sequence used in 2001: A Space Odyssey, but there's much more marvelous music after that spectacular opening! Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] THE CONCERT [Russian film with subtitles] Thursday 18 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Thirty years ago Andrei Filipov was the celebrated conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra but, at the height of his fame, he was fired by the communist authorities and demoted to the position of a cleaner at the theatre. When he learns by chance that the Bolshoi Orchestra will be invited to perform in Paris, he intercepts the invitation and plans to reunite his old orchestra to take their place to perform with Anne-Marie Jacquet, a young virtuoso violinist with a mysterious past... "The most uplifting film you'll see all year" (David Edwards, Daily Mirror). "A mixture of heart and humour, it strikes a sweet-sounding high note" (Love Film). Admission: $3.00 [free to Film Members] DAVID COHEN (CLARINET), ROBIN COHEN (PIANO) Tuesday 23 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m. - followed by dinner available to order in advance David and Robert Cohen are brothers from Cape Town. David is currently the co-principal clarinet in the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra in Durban, and besides his orchestral duties is also active in chamber music and as a solo artist. Robin has completed his Master's degree at Trinity College in London, studying with Martino Tirimo. They offer a programme of wide variety that will include Brahms' First Clarinet Sonata, the slow movement of Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, Six Children's Pieces by Jeffrey Joseph, numbers made famous by Benny Goodman - and a short piece by Justine Davidson, a former Academy student!

Seduced by the high life and blinded to its decadence, Garrigan's dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and madness from which there is no escape... As Amin, Forest Whitaker gives "one of the great performances of modern movie history" (Wall Street Journal). "A heart-thumping thriller" (Sunday Express) "Stunning" (Sunday Telegraph) Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] THOMAS: HAMLET Friday 26 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. Ambroise Thomas was born two hundred years ago on 5 August 1811 and became one of France's leading opera composers although few of his works survive in the modern repertory. Hamlet was one of his greatest successes and comes in a widely praised production shared by the Royal Opera House and Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu starring Natalie Dessay and Simon Keenlyside. Of the former, a critic wrote that she "offers an unforgettable Ophelia.. In the almost impossibly challenging mad scene, she attains a perfection that borders on the unreal..." Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] MAHLER: ORIGINS AND LEGACY Wednesday 31 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. The American conductor Michael Tilson Thomas explores Mahler's life and works in a documentary with "a wealth of solidly researched detail that is both musically provocative and visually stimulating... he brings Mahler's music to life in a way that makes even the novice appreciate its astounding unity and diversity" (BBC Music Magazine - five-star rating).
