Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 757 - 24/10/2017

THIRD WORLDISMS

Having lived in Zimbabwe my entire life, I guess I have come to terms with the pros and cons of living in the Third World. After all it is all that I have known for most of my life.

I love the hustle and bustle of the City of Bulawayo. The fact that there is always someone near you. Pedestrians abound, because 'footing it' is probably the only way to get around really, few motor cars, few buses, few combis, few bicycles and with very little money to pay for public transport, it is probably the only way to get around.

I remember when I was young the road was thronged with folk on bikes. Those marvellous old Raleighs with the square handlebars, front and back brakes and no gears at all!! I think another name for the bikes was a Sampson if I am correct

There are always people on the roads, sitting on the verges, walking here there and everywhere or these days the lucky few, waiting for transport on the side of the road with a series of convoluted gestures as to how far one needed to travel.

In The First world , except in the big cities, there are very few pedestrians, you just try crossing a fifteen lane highway, it takes enormous courage even if there are pedestrian lights!! In the suburbs yes there are walkers and joggers but noone actually walking from A to B for a purpose. Everyone has a car, and then there is Uber!!

Well I am a big fan of Uber in the USA as I absolutely refuse to drive and HeeHoo is not always around to ferry me. Its so reasonable to Uber and generally the time passes quickly as there is always something to chat about with an Uber Driver.

One of the amazing things I have learned from being here, is that there is no reason to be aware of theft as one is in Africa, No need to tuck my cell phone deep in the depths, no need to clutch ones handbag close to ones chest, you can happily leave it on a table or on the supermarket trolly. If you do leave your mobile or even your wallet or handbag in a restaurant or cinema, chance are high that you will get your property back intact in no time at all.

Dry cleaning is a breeze, one merely hangs ones clothes on a hook outside the front door, and hey presto, in a day or two's time, one will get home to find ones clothes neatly valeted, hanging in plastic covers, beautifully cleaned and pressed, on the front doorstep, again in full view of the road, with no great walls and fences to keep anyone out of one's property.

The cherry on the top came yesterday when HeeHoo was updating an app on his vehicle GPS. The update arrived on a flash stick in the post. Parcels are left on the front doorstep, no matter what they contain - iPhones, computers, Amazon deliveries are dropped off by UPS and Fedex and one can be quite sure not to have ones property purloined, even if the porch is two feet from the road.

HeeHoo plugged the flash stick into one of the many USB ports in the car, the car is fitted with its own WiFi, and all that was needed was fifty minutes of download time to update the GPS.

HeeHoo happily took me to the store, left his car running, with the keys in it, outside the store in the parking lot while we shopped, and hey presto, GPS was updated, and most impressive of all, the car was still there when we had finished shopping!!

One often comes across cars running driverless in the car park, especially if its very hot or very cold. Coming from the Third World I think this is an awful waste of 'gas', and I chastised HeeHoo accordingly!!!!

Watchdog !!

THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO

KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN: WEDNESDAY 25 OCTOBER KARIBA DINNER: PETER EDMEADES
ACADEMY AT 6.00 FOR 6.30 P.M.
After the success of the 'History Dinners', here's a Kariba Dinner! Peter Edmeades will talk on Kariba Dam - its past, present and future. There will, as usual, be a sumptuous two-course dinner, and tickets are $25 per head, available from the Academy - cash or swipe machine.

THURSDAY 26 OCTOBER GOLDENEYE [BOND 17]
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
GoldenEye was the first film in the Bond series to star Pierce Brosnan. 007 teams up with the lone survivor of a destroyed Russian research centre to stop the hijacking of a nuclear space weapon. But he is up against an enemy who anticipates his every move: a mastermind motivated by years of simmering hatred. He also squares off against Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon...
'Supercharged with spectacular, thundering, brain-numbing fun.' [San Francisco Chronicle]
'It's hard to deny that this is one of the most entertaining entries in the Bond cycle.' [Chicago Reader]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 27 OCTOBER EUROPAKONZERT
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
The Bolshevik Revolution began on 25 October 1917 (old style - 6 November by our reckoning!) so something Russian seems appropriate and this Berlin Philharmonic Europakonzert was recorded in the Great Hall of Moscow's Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Simon Rattle conducted Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, Bruch's Violin Concerto No.1 (with Vadim Repin) and Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. After the interval comes Shostakovich's Symphony No.12, sub-titled 'The Year 1917' and probably his most approachable symphony.
'Fans of Vadim Repin's superlative playing will not be disappointed by his typically commanding account of the Bruch Concerto.. the Beethoven Symphony has numerous special moments, such as the increasingly hushed strings as the Allegretto theme unfolds.' [BBC Music Magazine]
'Gergiev perfectly managed to impart huge energy to all the forces and the Mariinsky whisked us to the epic year of 1917 described by Shostakovich's film-music-like symphony.' [bachtrack.com]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN: SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER JULIA ROBERTS' 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY!
ERIN BROCKOVICH &MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 5.30 P.M.
Julia Roberts turns 50 on 28 October and to celebrate her special birthday, here is a birthday party and 'Erin Brockovich' is the true story of a single mother of three who, after losing a personal injury lawsuit, asks her lawyer, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), if he can help her find a job. Ed gives her work as a file clerk in his office, and she stumbles across some medical records placed in real estate files and discovers a cover-up involving contaminated water in a local community which is causing devastating illnesses among its residents.
'Entertaining, instructive, emotional, expertly directed and funny.' [Houston Chronicle]
'My Best Friend's Wedding' is a high-spirited romantic comedy that serves up something wild, something touching and something truly hilarious. Roberts dazzles as commitment-shy Jules Potter, who realises she is in love with her best friend Michael (Mulroney). There is just one catch: he's about to marry someone else. Full of devious plans, Jules will do anything to steal him back... except tell him the simple truth.
'Julia Roberts is at her vibrant best.' [San Francisco Chronicle]
Admission: $10.00 [includes snacks and wine]

THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER THE STING
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
'The Sting' stars Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Robert Shaw and was hugely successful at the 1973 Academy Awards, winning seven Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan. Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo.
'"The Sting" remains the definitive con artist comedy: as irresistible and ingenious as the scheme that hooks in Doyle.' [Daily Telegraph]
'A brilliant piece of movie-making that is extremely watchable and completely enjoyable, even 40 years after it was made.' [7M Pictures]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 3 NOVEMBER VERDI: DON CARLO
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
Commemorating THREE anniversaries! - the 150th anniversary of the first performance of the opera in Italy on 27 October 1867.and the tenth anniversary of the first DVD evening at the Academy on 3 November 2007.which in turn commemorated Pavarotti's death ten years ago on 6 September 2007.
In Verdi's monumental drama love, war, politics and religion intertwine against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition, Don Carlos, the Spanish crown prince, and Elizabeth of Valois, daughter of the King of France, are in love but torn apart by international politics when Carlos' father, Philip II marries Elizabeth himself. Carlos' friend, Rodrigo plays a dangerous game, balancing his political aims with the trust of his monarch, and when the beautiful Princess Eboli discovers that her love for Don Carlos is not returned, her revenge terribly backfires.
'How do you improve on absolute perfection. What a wonderful production. Every principal singer, the stage setting, the costumes, the orchestra, so polished and professional.' [Amazon]
'There are an outstanding cast and orchestra on top form but perhaps the chief glory of this 1992 production from La Scala is Zeffirelli's staging. Visually so much is awe-inspiringly right - in a word, superlative gifts are unreservedly at Verdi's service.' [Music & Vision]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN: BLESSING BLED CHIMANGA
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 6.30 P.M.
Blessing Chimanga live in Bulawayo - the energy, the voice, the marimba the dance!
Blessing is passionate and talented, a musician who sings and plays the drums, marimba and percussion. No one who was there will quickly forget his performance at September's 'Keeping the Doors Open!' concert and we're delighted to welcome him back for this fund-raising concert in aid of the Academy when he will be joined by his trio, Prudence Mabhena and choirs from Bulawayo Schools.
Admission: $5.00 ($2.00 students)
