HOMEWARD BOUND

After an 8 month sojourn in Atlanta, I must admit I am ecstatic to be returning home to Bulawayo in a couple of days!!!

I will miss my family here terribly, especially my 9 month old Tornado Grandchild, but there are so many things I have missed from home....

I have missed my wonderful staff, they have been so supportive from afar, sending me photos of my spring garden, sending Lincoln a beautiful Christmas gift, managing the horrendous storms, even working at night to outwit the leaking roof, and generally maintaining the status quo at home through thick and thin.

I missed the glorious drenching rain, the thunderstorms, and sadly, our best rainy season in countless years. How I would have loved to have stood on the bridges along the Matsheumslope and seen them absolutely flooding, how I would loved to have joined the scores of Matabeles who made the 'Rain Pilgrimage' to the Ncemas, to Mtshabezi, to Umzingwane and Mayfair.

I have missed the Matopos, the lichen, the water pouring off the rocks, that ethereal quiet and serenity, the damp pungent smell of the earth that only that precious place can bring during the rains.

I have missed the birdsongs, especially the Heuglins Robin....the Carolina Chikadee's song is gorgeous but absolutely no comparison. I have missed my little black kitty, she now follows Joyce like a little shadow and even sleeps with Joyce on a cold winter night if HeeHoo is also away.

Biltong !! the American beef jerky is absolutely no comparison and I wolfed the piece that Uncle Dave brought from his treasured home-made stash in Dallas.

I have missed the people, the solid, no nonsense Bulawayo folk who stay steadfast through the stresses and strains of zimbabwe life, through disaster after disaster. I missed the smiling faces of the sellers at the traffic lights, the merry cacophony of the rubbish removal trucks, the tinkle of the ice cream bell at the vendors ply the suburbs.

I have missed my precious friends, folk who have been the bastions of Bulawayo, who refuse to be thwarted by politics and ineptitude. Those halcyon, normal days of bridge, tennis and yoga seem aeons away!!

I have missed the extremes. There is extreme outdoor weather here in Atlanta but indoors is always ambient due to the heating and cooling systems. I shall enjoy snuggling under the duvet with only my nose peeping out, when back in Bulawayo!!

I have missed my car!! I have not been behind the wheel in 8 months, always relying on the largesse of Shehoo, Heehoo and Uber to get me to the shops!! Hopefully I will remember to drive on the correct side of the road!!!!

HeeHoo has warned me that Bulawayo is now dry, dusty, potholed and freezing, my garden is past its best but still thankfully still lush and glorious, however my heart still aches for home.

THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO

THURSDAYS 1, 8 & 15 JUNE VICTORIA
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Victoria' is a British drama television series which depicts the first few years of the reign of Queen Victoria, played by Jenna Coleman, from her accession to the throne at the age of eighteen, to her intense friendship and infatuation with Lord Melbourne, to her courtship and early marriage to Prince Albert and finally to the birth of their first child, Victoria. It was highly successful and actually surpassed 'Poldark' in the Sunday night ratings war between BBC and ITV. Academy audiences don't have to choose and, after 'Poldark', here's 'Victoria'!
'Sumptuous production - some historic liberties taken - and Coleman is terrific.' [Newsday]
'Opening with both grandeur and a heavy dose of deceit and lies it's clear that "Victoria" is going to be a series everyone will be talking about and it could very well be the new "Downton Abbey".' [Daily Express]
'Coleman totally convinced as the pint-sized powerhouse, conveying Victoria's girlish volubility, vulnerability and iron will all at once.' [Daily Telegraph]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

FRIDAY 2 JUNE ROSSINI: LA GAZZA LADRA (THE THIEVING MAGPIE)
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Carriages: 10.30 p.m.
Most people know the overture to 'The Thieving Magpie' but the opera which follows it is rarely heard. It's a comedy which almost turns to tragedy when the heroine, Ninetta, is threatened with death after being accused of stealing one of her mistress's silver spoons. The culprit is, of course, the magpie of the title and the plot also involves a ne'er-do-well soldier, a lascivious and villainous mayor and much more!
'This sparkling production is a winner... with Ileana Cotrubas as a charming Ninetta; and her suitor, Gianetto, sung by David Kuebler, is ardent but tender when he needs to be. The production is the crowning glory of this performance with beautiful sets and costumes.' [The Penguin Guide]
'How rare these days to see a production that respects composer and librettist! Add good singing and acting and you really have something! Ileana Cotrubas is simply magnificent and the entire cast play this to the full.' [Amazon.co.uk]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00).

WEDNESDAY 7 JUNE: HISTORY DINNER
Academy Foyer at 6.00 p.m.
Paul Hubbard presents the fourth of his talks on Bulawayo's history, 'Stagnation, Resilience, Recovery Bulawayo 1982 - the future'.
Tickets are $25.00 per head and available from the Academy (cash or swipe machine) or by calling/whatsapping Violette on 0772851609 (Ecocash, cash, RTGS) with all proceeds going to the Bulawayo Help Network.

The Langbourne Trilogy

Alan Landau (ex Harare and Bulawayo) has written a trilogy based on a true story of two young brothers who walked up to Bulawayo from Mafeking in 1893 to start life as general merchants. Based on 4 years of research and a lifetime of fireside stories handed down by his late father (John Landau, born in Bulawayo) and grandfather, Alan has pieced together a fascinating story that was almost lost in the haze of history.

'Langbourne' begins in Poland in 1879, where the brothers were born, and then moves to England and Ireland. Fleeing poverty, hunger and cold, Morris Langbourne (16), being an unrecognised genius, and his brother David (15) sail to Port Elizabeth and start a simple business. They had no family or friends there, and had to use their common sense to survive.

'Langbourne's Rebellion' picks up the story in 1893 when they decide to head to Fort Salisbury, but after walking through the bush for 3 months, decide that Bulawayo is good enough! And so their incredible story moves on.

'Langbourne's Empire' continues from 1894 and covers their lives and business ventures through the 2nd Matabele Rebellion.

The story is told through the eyes of these 2 young boys. The books are an easy read and appeal to all ages, receiving rave reviews from the Southern African communities scattered around the globe.

The trilogy is available in paperback and e-book through www.landaubooks.com or Amazon. All 3 books are also available as audio books through Audible, narrated by Adrian Galley.

WANKIE MINE DISASTER - 45 years ago

The 45th anniversary of the Wankie Mine Disaster is upon us. For us Wankie folk 45 years feels just like yesterday when our minds reach back in time to that dreadful day when parents lost their sons, wives lost their husbands, children lost their fathers, siblings lost their brothers, grandparents lost their grandsons, aunts and uncles lost their nephews, and friends lost their friends.

It is important to us that those who lost their lives underground on 6th June 1972 are NEVER forgotten. At 10am on 6th June please stop what you are doing, take a minute of silence to think of those who never got to see the light of that day or any other day after that, think of those who still mourn their loved ones, think of Wankie, the small, hot dusty mining time that changed in a blink of an eye. Thank you.

If you have any memories/thoughts/stories of that day we would love you to share them with us. Please email them to me at kengieboy82@gmail.com

The link will take you to Wankie Friends' Facebook Group full of information on the disaster.

Regards
Franky (for Wankie Friends)
