Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 686 - 22/5/2016


In this edition


1) Editorial

EVERYONE IS SO UPTIGHT!!

Thank goodness the money crisis has come along because it has given us something else to anguish over!! Previously it was the police roadblocks that made us all exceptionally uptight!!

Well the ZRP has certainly got the country talking!!

Carpark talk appears to range from fury to threats of 'Civil Disobedience', not sure where my own particular reactions stand yet, but surely we must all have our vehicle ducks in a row by now

When one thinks that one has adhered to every possible scenario and that the police can find absolutely nothing else to find and fine, they come up with another beauty!!

I joined a hot spot group briefly, on Social Media, which strategically pin pointed all the police roadblocks, however I left it after a day full of noisy beeping and chit chat, far too invasive in my quiet little world.

I recall a similar group in South Africa, run by a fellow who called himself 'Pig Spotter', the police tried in vain to search for him, to prosecute him for 'defeating the ends of justice', but the wily fellow was as elusive as the legendary 'Baba Jukwa'!!

I like to think we have covered all fineable eventualities, from fire extinguishers, to double sided red triangles, to 'temper free' third number plates, and so on and so forth, but I gather there is never an end to it all. However legally compliant one becomes, something else totally bizarre will arise to flummox even the most law abiding citizen!!

The latest atrocities being heaped on Zimbabwe's citizens appear to be - not activating one's flashers when approaching a police roadblock, having smooth brake and accelerator pedals, riding in an unclean car, and even wanting to see the receipt for groceries one has recently purchased from a supermarket!

One hapless lady with small children was totally traumatized by police who said they were arresting her and taking her to the drill Hall, they crushed in the back of the car with the terrified children, was it possibly that they wanted a free lift to the Drill Hall after a hard days raking in the cash

Taking car safety seriously is a good thing, but our police are more intent upon seeing if one's Third Number Plate has been 'tempered with', or inspecting the service date on our fire extinguishers, than checking if our brakes and headlights are working or if we are speeding or talking on our mobile phones!!!

Sadly some friends from Botswana today vowed 'Never Again' they had a torrid time at the Zim border and then were stopped at no less that 7 police roadblocks between the Plumtree border and Bulawayo!!

Sigh, I must admit, I too am a trifle scared of the very men who have been commissioned to 'provide protection and assistance to the public' which is the way they are defined in the dictionary!!

However on a positive note Leah has a glorious tale of three uniformed coppers swaying and shimmying to her music when they stopped her car!!

Lastly you will be glad to know that the ZRP has created a Facebook account where you are invited to register your complaints to the 'Powers that Be'.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/dearzrp
www.facebook.com/groups/dearzrp

We all agree that road safety is of the highest priority, and checking for unroadworthy vehicles or faulty/missing equipment is something that needs to be done. However, the unnecessary harassment of drivers, to say nothing of allegations of corruption, cannot be tolerated. To quote the ZRP itself:
'The ZRP does not tolerate corrupt elements and has both legal and administrative apparatus to eject such from its system" said Commissioner Ndebele http://www.zrp.gov.zw/
www.zrp.gov.zw/

We encourage you to use this group to share your experiences, whether positive or negative, but we will not tolerate abusive, offensive or insulting posts. Although you may feel like swearing, please keep it clean!

When you post something about an experience, please give the date, time and place, and, if possible, the name and number of the ZRP officer involved. You are entitled to ask for a police officer's name and number.
We will try whenever possible to provide information about your rights at road blocks, and any other information that might help.

Pumping Legs for Water 2016: 22 - 23 July

Pumping Legs for Water is a two day, 100 km sponsored mountain bike ride, within the Main Camp area of Hwange National Park. The event is organized by the Matabeleland branch of Wildlife & Environment Zimbabwe (WEZ) and profits from the ride go towards supporting WEZ projects, including the Hwange Game Water Supply Programme, which carries out repairs and maintenance to pumped pans within the Park, providing life-giving water to the animals there.

This year the ride will take place on Friday 22 & Saturday 23 July, with a briefing at Main Camp on the evening of Thursday 21 July, which all participants are expected to attend. The entry fee is $150. This is not a race. For safety reasons cyclists will be riding in groups of 20 to 25 riders. Each group will be accompanied by a leading and trailing vehicle with armed escorts. Cyclists must remain within these groups at all times.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR AS MANY RIDERS AS POSSIBLE !! IF YOU HAVE NOT YET REGISTERED, THERE IS STILL TIME - JOIN US FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE ANIMALS OF HWANGE NATIONAL PARK. THEY NEED YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT.

WEZ is appealing to the public to support this event by:

Donating Prizes or Goods. As this is not a race there is no winner but two trophies are awarded - One, firstly, for the person who brings in the most sponsorship (Best Supporter) and, secondly, a trophy for the person who best represents the Spirit of the Ride. Prizes are also awarded to other riders for special achievements. Donations are also needed for the water points and catering, while goods which can be used by the Game Water Supply Unit (such as diesel, engine oil, shovels or tools) are also much appreciated

Closing of Entries and Final Payments. Please note final date for entries is 15th May 2016. Any entries received after this date will be gladly accepted, but the Committee cannot guarantee that the rider will receive a Ride Cycling Shirt and other pre-ordered gifts in the 'goodie bags'.

'HUMAN'

SYNOPSIS
HUMAN is a collection of stories about and images of our world, offering an immersion to the core of what it means to be human. Through these stories full of love and happiness, as well as hatred and violence, HUMAN brings us face to face with the Other, making us reflect on our lives. From stories of everyday experiences to accounts of the most unbelievable lives, these poignant encounters share a rare sincerity and underline who we are - our darker side, but also what is most noble in us, and what is universal. Our Earth is shown at its most sublime through never-before- seen aerial images accompanied by soaring music, resulting in an ode to the beauty of the world, providing a moment to draw breath and for introspection.

HUMAN is a politically engaged work which allows us to embrace the human condition and to reflect on the meaning of our existence.

THE DIRECTOR
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a photographer and renowned specialist in aerial imagery. He has written several books, including 'The Earth from the Air', which has been translated into 24 languages and has sold more than three million copies.

In 2009, he made his first film, 'Home'. This inventory of the planet was seen by more than 600 million people around the world. Available for free from YouTube, it is continuing its career. It is the most successful environmental film of the decade.

'7 Billion Others', a portrait of humanity today, has so far been seen by 350 million people. This major exhibition that was inaugurated at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2009, before going on to travel the world, is a personal reflection developed over the space of 30 years.

It was the first step on the path that led Yann Arthus-Bertrand to make 'HUMAN'.

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY

THE LADY IN THE VAN
Thursday 19 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'The Lady in the Van' tells the true story of Alan Bennett's strained friendship with Miss Mary Shepherd [Maggie Smith], an eccentric homeless woman whom Bennett befriended in the 1970s before allowing her temporarily to park her Bedford van in the driveway of his Camden home. She stayed there for 15 years and, as the story develops, Bennett discovers more about her extraordinary life.
'Funny, moving and brilliant, the film is a joy.' [IMDb review]
'As imperiously rude as the Dowager Countess of Grantham but considerably less fragrant, Miss Shepherd is a glorious comic creation, a pungent mix of dottiness and iron will.' [Movie Talk]
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

CLASSIC MGM FILM MUSICALS FROM THE PROMS
Friday 20 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
John Wilson and his orchestra are joined by baritone Sir Thomas Allen, soprano Sarah Fox, American musical entertainer/actress Kim Criswell, American jazz vocalist Curtis Stigers and American actor/ singer Seth MacFarlane to celebrate the golden age of Hollywood musicals, performing songs from some of cinema's most enduring movies including The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, High Society, An American in Paris, Gigi and Singin' in the Rain. 'This was, as so many others have said, without doubt a musical treat like no other.' [Amazon.com]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
Thursday 26 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'And Then There Were None' is based on the novel by Agatha Christie. This new BBC adaptation was shown over three nights at Christmas 2015 but can be seen in a single evening at the Academy!
It's 1939 and Europe teeters on the brink of war. Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast in southern England. Cut off from the mainland, with their generous hosts Mr and Mrs U.N.Owen mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime. As each member of the party starts to die one by one, the survivors realise that one of them is a killer and start to turn on each other.
'A classic Agatha Christie novel gets a delectably sinister and perfectly cast adaptation courtesy of Lifetime and BBC.' [The Hollywood Reporter]
'This was a stonker: classily photographed in low light, moonlight and candlelight, and with strong performances from the weighty ensemble cast throughout.' [The Telegraph]
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

SMETANA: THE BARTERED BRIDE
Friday 27 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
'The Bartered Bride' was first performed 150 years ago in Prague, on 30 May 1866. Although it has triumphed in opera houses all over the world and is arguably the most popular Czech opera of all time, it got off to a slow start after its premiere in 1866 and it was only after revisions that it came to be accepted as the Czech national opera.
'This is pure joy from start to finish - the costumes, the production, the singing and all the lovely music. The performance is as fresh as a daisy.' [Amazon review]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

7) Bulawayo News

BULAWAYO PUBLICITY ASSOCIATION

The Bulawayo Publicity Association has brought up to date its tourist brochure which gives information about the local tourist attractions and other pertinent information and is very popular because of the city centre map on the front panel. The printing of the brochure was kindly sponsored by Bulawayo Holiday Inn. It is available free of charge from the offices of the Association and handed out at travel shows, visiting business delegations and tourist groups, amongst other outlets.

HILLSIDE DAMS CONSERVANCY is keen to revive interest in the conservancy by offering walking trails, bird viewing, and nature walks, during which information is given about the trees, flora and fauna. There are walks every Friday at 7am or 8am for over 50s, for which there is no charge. Entrance fee to the dams is $2 and $1 for pensioners and children under 12. For further information contact Noe on 242620 between 8am - 12pm or 0715 531 366.

The Alliance Francaise under its director Philippe Durand has become a vibrant organization and an asset to Bulawayo. Evening classes in French are held in the offices of the Bulawayo Publicity Association and a variety of entertainment, traditional and international is frequently performed at different venues, sponsored by the Alliance Francaise Zimbabwe.

Zimnat Lion Insurance Company have relocated to G Silundika Street / 14th Ave - the same building as Minerva Risk Advisors, but different entrance. Altfin Insurance Company is now located at Zimdef House, Fort St Tel 77092.

HOSPITALITY / TOURISM INDUSTRY

The River Cafe, part of the River Estate in 12th Avenue next to BAC Club, is under new management and been renamed EARTH CAFe.

The Orange Elephant craft shop which is located in front of the cafe, supports Zimbabwean artists and stocks unique and unusual gifts. It is open on Mondays to Fridays 9am - 4pm and on Saturday 9am - 1pm. Cell phone number 0772 327 422.

AIR ZIMBABWE has introduced flights from Johannesburg to Bulawayo and return on Sundays. They depart Johannesburg at 12pm and return to Johannesburg at 13.45pm.

Very sad to say but Mzilikazi Art & Craft Centre, a City Council project which provided means of livelihood and a skill for women and where gifted children were taught, has CLOSED down. It was no longer financially sustainable. The craft centre had a big clear out sale recently with pottery being sold at bargain prices. They intend to have another sale soon. The Home Industries Center where basket weaving and embroidery work is created, which is in the same complex, Taylor Avenue remains open.

The cafe at the Art Gallery has been taken over by the management of 26 on Park. They are open Mondays to Saturdays but not for dinner. Phone 0775 901 120 for further information. The Gallery itself, except for the artists' studios, is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

THE FARM HOUSE, some 48kms on the Kezi Road, is a great place for a weekend or a day's relaxation. Its amenities include game drives, nature walks, horse riding and bike rides. You can bring your own meat and drink and braai on the front lawn next to the swimming pool at $5 per head, or if you give prior notice, the Lodge will provide a lunch. Amongst the game are warthogs, wildebeest, zebra, and about 8 giraffe.

A day out there should include a visit to the nearby Amagugu Cultural Centre at Maphisa to see the Ndebele painted walls and displays of woven rugs and basket ware. A little further on is the Enthandweni Children's Home, set in very scenic surroundings, so clean and attractive with its flower beds and painted buildings. They grow their own vegetables but always welcome toys, books and clothes.

The Bulawayo Publicity Association website is as interesting and informative as YOU our members make it, so please send us or details and pictures if possible - free of charge.
