HWANGE GAME COUNT 2016

Each year, the anticipation and excitement around Bulawayo of the up coming Hwange game count is palpable and wherever one goes during the weeks leading up to it, the question is asked 'Are you going on the count this year ' Well, would we miss it Not if we could help it.

We were amazed at how much drier the park had become in the month since we had last been up there. Just about the only green that could be seen were the beautiful eriolobas - covered in new green leaf, some already showing a fuzz of yellow pompoms offering welcome, deep shade at midday for the elephant - and the delicious looking but lethal patches of umkauzaan (Dichapetalum cymosum), or gifblaar as it is also known. There were a few Lonchocarpus nelsii out in bloom, covered in a haze of delicate lilac. Otherwise, it was dry, dry, dry. On our way down to Ngweshla to join our party, we stopped off to admire the new platform that is now up at Makwa. We passed a huge herd of buffalo, apparently numbering around 900, just off the road, the outriders all fast asleep and mounds of bodies trying to shelter under what little shade the ordeal bushes afforded or for the lucky ones who had found better shade under a few enormous mtshibi trees.

Driving through to our pan in the Wilderness concession the following morning, was a little better organised than last year and no vehicles appeared to falter in the deep sand. Our team had been delegated Scotts pan and we found a suitable spot under a very nice shady tree for the duration. On arrival there was a herd of 33 sable lying in the vlei, having already had a drink and they only left later in the afternoon as it was cooling off. Elephant came down in droves, of course, and around the periphery of the pan were several herds of zebra, a couple of herds of impala as well as a troop of baboons. One group of zebra had a tiny new born foal afoot and there were several occasions during the count that the poor harassed zebra mother had to protect her baby from some aggressive males seemingly from another herd, obviously trying to get at the foal, each time causing a huge ruckus, dust and hooves flying. Overnight we saw eland and two porcupines along with spotted hyena, duiker and a lone male giraffe in amongst all the elephant coming down. A leopard was seen just after dark trying to sneak in for a drink but was initially chased off by the elephant. It was spotted again having another attempt but unfortunately, a Wilderness vehicle out on a night drive came along and interrupted its quest. We could just make it out in the headlights, disappearing into the bush some way off. On our first day, we were kept entertained by an amazing number of raptors popping in for a foot dabble and a drink at the pan, especially Bateleur eagles. At one stage we had nine Bateleurs visual and there was plenty of interaction, both in the air, on the ground and perched in the trees. Two males, one at the water and one perched in a tall tree close by were certainly showing off, fluffing out their wings, puffing up their chests and throwing back their heads and calling. There were several juvenile birds in various stages of maturity and plenty of aerobatics with some spectacular diving and jousting on the wing with more vocalisation. Stunning birds.

On the second morning of the count a strong wind blew up, making most of the animals nervous. Four roan, two females and two youngsters, came tentatively into the pan along with a magnificent sable bull but they were soon sent flying back into cover when a Wilderness vehicle drew up. Another herd of roan came in while a few kudu cows drank - the whole lot being put to flight by one of the zebra altercations. As we were leaving, the same four roan and the sable bull were making a second attempt to come in to drink.

Getting back to Ngweshla was a rude shock as there were SIX safari vehicles FULL of guests in camp, one of the safari vehicles was even parked RIGHT in front of the gate blocking off all other traffic. Another lot of visitors, mostly counters, were sitting in the shade of the eriolobas just outside of camp. Fortunately, it quietened down after a while and we could return to camp for a much needed shower and a late lunch. We had a rather noisy night with streams of elephant continually coming into the pan. We did hear lion and early in the morning, six lion were seen moving past, round the back of the camp. We had the most amazing sighting of some of them, particularly a stunning female with two tiny cubs, probably only a month to six weeks old. Mother lion was lying on an anthill with the two cubs playing around her, up and down the anthill. Another lioness and a young male lay along a game trail close by affording everyone a great photo opportunity before they all moved into some blue bush, where they were all but invisible. Our trip continued at Kennedy One for two nights, again hearing lion and more likely Jericho as he was in the area. The first evening while watching at the pan, a group of about sixty elephants were suddenly spooked by something and dashed off at an alarming pace. Its just amazing how there was very little noise as they galloped off and which of the animals had given off the alarm On our last afternoon, we went through to Mbiza, mainly to have a look at how the solar unit is working there. The water there is great and although we didn't see much in the way of game, it was still an enjoyable drive.

We are sure we are preaching to the converted but we just have to say that we were very disappointed and dismayed at the continual criticism of the solar units that have been put in place throughout the Main Camp area in particular and now being put in at Sinamatella and Robins. We really would appreciate it if those criticising would take into account the huge amount of effort and finance that has gone into drilling new boreholes so that there are two solar units at each pan if possible and then putting up the solar units themselves along with all the casing, piping, stone, cement and etc., etc., that is needed for the site, not forgetting please, that all this has to be transported up to the Park as well. Most people obviously have NO idea how much finance was put into trying to keep Parks supplied with diesel in the past, often only to have it stolen from the engine sites. Parks was, unfortunately, not keeping up with the supply so a vast amount of donor money was being spent on supplying fuel. In the past, as soon as the count was finished, the pumping would stop as there was no fuel available. Yes, we are aware that the solar units don't work at night but....at least there is SOME water instead of none and why not use one of our most valuable natural resources! Also think of how much less pollution is emitting into the atmosphere and the surrounding soil. There is a LOT less maintenance involved once the unit has been established with no more refuelling to be done. It does remain to be seen how the pans cope during the next couple of months but once again, better some water than none. It should also be remembered that the Park has experienced a particularly harsh year or two and the rains have not been good.

Most of the Main Camp visitors/counters will have seen the new platform at Makwa. Here again there has been a lot of criticism about it but hey, everyone....surely it's a step in the right direction and SOMETHING has been achieved. Plans are going ahead to resuscitate the Guvelala platform with work having started there and hopefully with a better supply of water once the two solar units are sorted out, it will become a popular overnight stop once again. Please spare a thought for all those amazing people who are working their guts out to keep things ticking over in the park.

We left out two good birding sightings. One was seeing two Cape Shovellers at Kennedy Two and there were eleven lovely ostrich chicks with their parents at Ngweshla.

Our report is now on the FOH site (www.friendsofhwange.com) and facebook so please have a look as some fabulous pictures have been added which we are sure you will all enjoy. You may be interested on other items on the website. And thank you to those who have responded to the report.

Until next time.....John and Jenny Brebner

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY

Thursday 6 October Mamma Mia!
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
Set on a colourful Greek island and with a plot whose main purpose is to serve as the background for a wealth of ABBA songs, Mamma Mia! needs little introduction. With a cast including Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Julie Walters, it tells the story of 'bride-to-be Sophie who is on a quest to find her father before the big day. There's just one problem... she's just not sure who he is. After secretly reading her mother Donna's old diaries, she discovers he is one of three past lovers and, despite knowing her mother would not approve, she invites them all...'
'An absolutely hilarious, rousing and joyous celebration that ought to have you dancing in the aisles.' [Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
'Cute, clean, camp fun, full of sunshine and toe tappers.' [Empire]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

Friday 7 October Rossini: Moise et Pharaon
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Carriages: 10.30 p.m.
Moise et Pharaon was Rossini's second work for the Paris Opera and received with huge enthusiasm. One of his lesser known but most spectacular operas, it tells the familiar story of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt
'The production is traditional to the core, with sumptuous scenic design and elaborate costumes. Those who know Rossini only from his fizzy comic operas like The Barber of Seville or La Cenerentola will be blown away by this dramatic work. He could really write a historical spectacle. With fabulous sets, huge ensembles, a silly side love story, orgiastic dance sequences and cinematic sweep, this is Rossini gone Hollywood. But all the spectacle in the world can't save a bad opera. Luckily, with the La Scala Orchestra and a cast of thousands (or so) led by Riccardo Muti, Rossini's music lives up to the grandeur of the production. Touching duets, tuneful dance numbers and rousing choruses will keep even the most casual opera fan engaged until that Red Sea parts.' [Patrick Neas, KansasCity.com]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

Thursday 13 October The 39 Steps
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
1914, and Richard Hannay, a mining engineer who is visiting Britain for a short time before returning to South Africa, is shocked when one of his neighbours, Colonel Scudder, bursts into his rooms one night and tells him a story that Prussian 'sleeper' agents are planning to assassinate a visiting foreign minister to provoke an international crisis. However, Scudder is murdered and Hannay is framed for the death by the 'sleepers' so flees to Scotland as he attempts to clear his name and to stop the agents...
'...a ripping yarn with a splendid cast of British character actors, good use of locations and a spiffing climax. [IMDb}
'I always thought Hitchcock's version could not be beaten but.....I was wrong. For sheer all-round excitement, good performances, excellent script and superb set pieces you need look no further.' [Amazon,co.uk]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

Friday 14 October Kiss Me, Kate
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Carriages: 9.55 p.m.
Based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, Kiss Me, Kate is Cole Porter's best-known musical and features some of his greatest songs including Another Op'nin, Another Show, 'Why Can't You Behave, Wunderbar, So In Love, I Hate Men and Too Darn Hot, not to mention Brush Up Your Shakespeare. This London revival won several awards for Best Musical of the year and was filmed live in front of the Victoria Palace Theatre audience in August 2002.

'The show tops its personal best so often that, by the end, the audience floats out of the theatre on a wave of unalloyed joy.' [The Independent]
'With its blissfully tuneful score, superbly witty lyrics and great charge of Broadway energy, this blazingly confident show shines like a beacon.' [Daily Telegraph]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

With reference to your email about veld fires, NOTHING good comes from them, and they are in fact ILLEGAL. (Statutory Instrument 7 of 2007 as read with Environmental Management Act (CAP 20:27), no person may light a fire outside residential and commercial premises during the period July 31 to October 31 of each year). They reduce the organic matter on the soil surface and this ultimately leads to soil erosion and degradation of the land, with knock on effects such as siltation of rivers, and reduction of water flows, etc. Not to mention the fact they destroy slow moving creatures such as hedgehogs, tortoises, pangolins, and other such precious wildlife that we can hardly afford to lose.

Fires can wipe out forest habitats that have taken years to establish. As a nation we seem to have forgotten (or perhaps it's no longer taught ) that the oxygen we depend upon for our very survival comes from photosynthesis in plant leaves (as well as from phytoplankton in the sea). So why are we hell bent on destroying trees, and why aren't the culprits being brought to book

The WHO has just announced that globally air pollution is a public health emergency, with 90% of the world breathing air with unacceptable levels of PM2.5s - these are solid particles less than 2.5 microns that can penetrate deep into the lungs and have been implicated in causing cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 6 million people a year die of pollution related diseases. Burning organic matter directly contributes to increased levels of PM2.5s. Yet, in Harare, hundreds of inconsiderate households continue to burn their leaves, and worse, plastic rubbish (the burning of which releases chemical carcinogens), with absolute impunity. Burning of household waste is also ILLEGAL according to municipal by-laws.

I challenge the Ministry of Health (with or without the EMA) to engage with police to URGENTLY bring illegal fire-starters (in and out of town) to book. We, the public, have a right to breathe clean air and not get lung cancer. If the police spent half as much time fining people for crimes against the environment as they do enforcing traffic infringements, they'd have a huge source of revenue and we'd be able to breathe a lung full of fresh air once in a while.

Regards
Lisa
