ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M EDITORIAL Time, Ladies and Gentlemen The once much-loved George Hotel in Avondale closed on January 4 this year - sold to Multi-Choice as their new HQ. A planned valedictory meal in the grotesquely named Freckle and Phart pub, or the depressing dining room, which was reminiscent of railway architecture circa 1946, was aborted, as it was semi-gutted well before closure. Further up George Road, some folk opened a nice restaurant, the Acropolis, and were doing so well that they decided to beat sanctions and hid their profits in the back of some copper firescreens, only to get caught. Charleston Hotel (ex-Kamfinsa Park) is also shut: "Due to ever rising," I heard. Both the above places underwent major changes in clientele, facilities, and ambience, even cleanliness but are fondly remembered for special functions and The George, especially for wedding receptions. In 1980 Harare lost the popular Windsor Hotel on Baker (Nelson Mandela) Avenue. It housed the Colony, where Edwin and Rachelle played twin pianos to international cabaret standards to discerning diners in formal finery. The Lincoln Room had fantastic value for money food in luxurious surroundings. It closed late November 1980 when the set three-course lunch, featuring baron of beef, rolled to the table and carved to order was $1,50. 1890 was the cocktail bar. The day the Windsor closed (earlier than announced to avoid vandalism seen at Meikles' Long Bar by "souvenir hunters") beer was 38c; bar lunch 35c. Opposite was a complex housing the raucous Round Bar and Le Coq d'Or where little French was heard. The premises were banned from selling drink or tobacco; dancing was proscribed. For years they thought it was a library! Picture the indignation when they found the country's most interesting nightlife had flourished there for years! Playboy was nearby, as was La Boheme: nothing to do with opera, it offered strippers of often-venerable years. The entrance fee for Sunset Strip was two shillings and sixpence." The Gentlemen" were the popular Rock band that played at Saturday Lunchtimes and Sunday Evenings! Three major Chinese outlets closed after 1980: Golden Dragon, a hangout of Ministry of Information people, the bar a favourite with international journalists; The Bamboo Inn with a dark, dingy but somehow appealing pub and later by an Irishman called (of course) Paddy and The Mandarin, next to Meikles Store which had no bar, but hacks and hackettes gathered round a service hatch as if in a Fleet Street club. Down the way was the Pink Panther, Run by two aged sisters from the Caucasus, they served delicious kebabs at the original site, later Linquenda House. One also owned the Georgian Grill. PP later became Alfredo's then Front Page: restaurants with lively pubs, gregarious regulars, and liberal hours. The "Page" owners: a blonde and a brunette belonged in international glamour magazines. Pino's in Union Avenue (Kwame Nkrumah) was arguably the best seafood joint around, but gained notoriety when someone complained and the ebullient eponymous Portuguese proprietor whacked him over the pip with a flambe pan. The Bombay duck between Jameson (Samora Machel) and Central served iridescent curries all hours for next to nothing. In Greendale Avenue was the average man's idea of an English Pub, The Red Fox! At Msasa, The Red Lantern, run by S-W African (Namibian) Germans specialised in eisbein, knackwurst and bratwurst that I can still smell and taste. Beverly Rocks was a hospitable hostel: good food, great music, lovely gardens, (now a government training centre.) Going east, the old Jamaica Inn was run by various characters including an ex-Federal hangman and Commonwealth boxing gold medal winner. Good stop there on the way to or from Three Monkeys in Marandellas (Marondera) for lunch. (Now a religious institute.) Glen Lorne's local was the festive Highlands Park. Great dinner dances, lovely Sunday lunches, cream teas in the garden. Down the road at Chisipite Shopping Centre was The Howf of Chisholm, which was super. The Spaniards, Marlborough (ex-Quorn) served incredibly good food, except for the soup, which was: always watery, insipid and costly. . You queued and often cleared the table yourself. The food was delicious and you either brought your own wine or bought rotgut. Guido was deaf and when you came to pay he asked what you had and worked it out in his head. When he retired to the mother country, a redhead Italian bombshell bought the business and never looked back, until the Aussie Tax Squad arrived. By that time she had opened Sandro's in Kingsway. There's not been another Harare establishment like Sandro's. Starting as a private club, it retained club land ambience till the end. Five stars cooking or basic bar lunch often polished cabarets; journalists and businessmen rubbed shoulders with cabinet ministers. Sardinian Sandro also ran Eros: fine Mediterranean food and friendly bar and Sandrock's, for back-packers. On quieter Chalet days, great juicy joints were trundled in at lunch; patrons sliced their own for 50c with pickles, mustard, horseradish, chips and rolls. The city's best pies were served in a motor sport-theme cocktail bar. There was a civilized snooker room (not a crummy pool hall.) It became a motor parts store, then a Spar. Park Lane (now GMB HQ) the Kaya Nyama steakhouse had its own printed "Doggy bags" as the steaks were so enormous. The Clovagalix, on Fife Avenue, caught fire once too often, becoming Cafe Med, Borrowdale. Caruso's on 4th/Samora was a great Chips d'Oliviera club-cum Portuguese pub/restaurant. As Vila Peri, it moved to 3rd/Baines. Next-door was Fat Mama's, previously Spago's. Now called Mama Mia's, it thrives at Newlands. The Cellar, Marimba Park was tops with journos and the printing trade, serving wonderful whisky prawns, real rosti; the upstairs bar often seemed the centre of the universe. Kamfinsa's Bizarre Bar (later IT, previously Buster's, The Cockpit, etc) was hugely popular with yuppies, briefly with buppies; once a licence to print money. New owners cut corners. Now it's a swimming pool sundries shop. Meikles closed The Mirabelle, The Causerie, Flagstaff and Captain's Cabin, Bagatelle and La Chandelle. Monomotapa lost 12000 Horsemen and Bali Hai, but gained La Francais from Avondale. When everywhere else closed, you could get ABFs at Al's Place near the Kopje. Probably unlicensed: whether you ordered whisky, brandy or rum it came from one bottle; gin, cane, vodka, white rum another. High -Chaparral (ex-Nick's Bar), Avondale opened all hours: a good greasy spoon where coffee and steak rolls helped avoid the worst "mornings after", especially after Le Matelot (ex-Lighthouse), died a death. Aphrodite, Strathaven, was a superb Greek restaurant. Demi's near State Lotteries closed due to commuter omnibuses' anarchistic parking. The original owners set up Tavern Bacchus, near Reps, which then became the Manchurian. Up the street, Copacabana served wonderful Portuguese food, having previously been a great Chinese (White Lotus ). The Himalaya, nearby, did colossal searing noon curries at minimal cost but was avoided after dusk. Rosedale's/Rose Bowl/Rose & Crown in Hatfield was a superb Sunday lunch venue with live entertainment. One of the best seafood platters you could ever eat was at the Kentucky, also in Hatfield. ANONYMOUS ++++ Watchdog !! ++++ 2) Notices and Events Heal the World Spiritual Resonance art exhibition at the National Gallery Bulawayo is still on and will be for a month. We have had very good feedback from those who have seen the exhibition so we are encouraging you to visit the gallery and see the exhibition. Both the gallery and the artists who make great efforts should be supported by us, fellow Bulawegians. Let's create a new energy of enthusiasm and support. Care, Share and Inspire.

POLDARK SERIES 3 - 1 'Poldark' returns! - need we say more ... Well, it's 1794. War and the revolution in France hang over Britain. In Cornwall Elizabeth is heavily pregnant, but who is the father Demelza wants answers. George grows his empire with a view to crushing the Poldarks while Ross and Demelza attempt to keep the peace and repair their relationship at Nampara. However, the arrival of Demelza's brothers disturbs the fragile truce and Ross must ask himself how long he can allow George's ascent to continue unchecked Facing battles both at home and abroad, will Ross answer the call and risk losing everything he holds dear 'As the BBC's hugely popular swashbuckling romance "Poldark" returned for a third series, an opening episode crammed to the gills with high drama, low morals and pantomime villainy reassured us that the Cornish bodice ripper still has plenty more to offer. [[The Telegraph] 'Bang the drums and howl to the black moon what a belter of an opener, with enough action in one hour alone to fuel a whole series of any other show.' [The Guardian] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. FRIDAY 8 SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. ROSSINI: LA CENERENTOLA Fizzing with operatic brio, 'La Cenerentola' is Rossini's take on the Cinderella story - no fairy godmother or magic tricks, but ugly sisters, a charming prince and bracelets rather than glass slippers to help the denouement! The wonderful American mezzo Joyce DiDonato in the title role and superstar tenor Juan Diego Florez in his signature role as the Prince lead an outstanding international cast in a witty and dazzlingly colourful production that also includes a troupe of loveable rats! 'Catch Joyce DiDonato and Juan Diego Florez in what may just be definitive performances in Rossini's enchanting rags-to-riches opera.' [Music and Vision] 'DiDonato and Florez both give outstanding performances, with all their trademark agility in Rossini's coloratura, and Joyce DiDonato's warm mezzo is especially winningly caught here.' [BBC Music Magazine] [Repeated from January for those who missed it first time and for those who would like to see it again - and because the picture was particularly poor in January!] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00) FRIDAY 15 SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. EXCELSIOR In 1881 La Scala Milan staged 'Excelsior', a magnificent spectacle created by Luigi Manzotti, 'a choreographic, historic, allegoric, phantastic plot in two parts and eleven scenes', i.e. this was not a ballet in the classical sense. Excelsior sings the praises of progress in science and other accomplishments, in keeping with that era of supreme optimism. The steam engine, the Brooklyn Bridge, electricity, the telegraph, the Suez Canal and the tunnel between Italy and France are all technical achievements which are shown on stage. Despite its seemingly dreary subject matter, it was a huge success when first performed, and enjoyed a run of 103 performances during that year alone. 'This production from 2002 at the Teatro alla Scala brings a riot of colour to Manzotti's work. With 100 dancers on stage at a time, references to the golden MGM film era and Busby Berkeley-style dancing, it is guaranteed to intrigue and charm!' [Presto] ' The restaging, based on the original stage and choreographic designs, nods at irony, revels in kitsch, and - apart from cultural snobs, shaking their heads in despair - lets the audience have a thoroughly good time' The fun would soon wear off, however, if it weren't for the fact that beneath the light-hearted exterior is some seriously good dancing.' [Gramiliano] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00) FRIDAY 22 SEPTEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN! Choirs from Girls' College, Falcon and CBC come together with guests Blessing Chimanga and the Coghlan Choir for another Academy fund-raiser!

This incident took place at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair crossing. In many countries motorists have to pause at zebra crossing regardless if there are pedestrians on the crossing or not. Should motorists not adhere to this law, they can be fined quite heavily. It has been seen that our local motorist often ignore the need to stop at zebra crossings and pedestrians have to leap out of the way to avoid being hit. Please motorists have a care for the safety of other people before you too kill or injure a friend or family member. Bulawayo was once known as the tourist/industrial hub of Zimbabwe and whilst over recent years industry has taken a knock, it is heartening to know that it is now reviving, businesses as well as industry per se. Take for example, Turnall Fibre Cement, General Beltings, Archer Clothing and the building of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a $5 million bread plant by Bakers Inn in Belmont and others. Mine Entra showcased a number of companies manufacturing mining equipment. Humble Pie, which is under new management, is situated opposite old Chitrin's in Jason Moyo Street/5th Ave. There is nothing 'humble' about these pies because they are delicious. Also new is the Red Cafe, so called because of its decor, in George Silundika Street. Medically Bulawayo is well served by virtue of the number of chemists, privately owned casualty units and hospitals which have opened in recent years. ++++ Paul Hubbard will be giving a talk on Mzilikazi in his History dinner series at the Academy of Music on the 20th September starting at 6 p.m. Members of the audience wishing to enjoy the two course dinner should book in advance. A fun run for Cancer will be held on Sunday 16th September, sponsored by Bonsa, starting and ending at Busters from 7 a.m. The runners, cyclists and walkers start at different times, so phone (09)2244914 for more information. The annual Sanganai/Hlanganani Travel Expo will be held again this year at Zimbabwe International Trade Fair from 27th September to 1st October and Zimbabwe Tourism Authority Harare is endeavoring to make it a great success. Intwasa Arts Festival koBulawayo celebrate its 13 years in arts with its 13th edition to be held from 27 - 30 September 2017 in conjunction with Sanganai/Hlanganani Expo. Sports fans enjoyed a feast of sport last month with Junior Golf Championships, Polo Championships, cricket, soccer and the Youth Games, which are continuing this month. We must emphasise that promotion and publicity play an important party in making people aware national, regionally and internationally what Bulawayo has to offer from the business and tourism point of view and that it deserves its description as 'the jewel of Africa'.
