EDITORIAL Puisse Dieu vous pardonner There have been so many brilliant articles written recently about the demise of Robert Mugabe. Peter Godwin's in the Telegraph was riveting, there is Alex Magaisa's thought provoking blog, and I am sure everyone is thoroughly sick of this disturbing 'non event', but I felt I must add my tuppenceworth. My thoughts go immediately to the millions of Diasporans living lives of quiet desperation all over the world, chased out by circumstances wrought by one man and one man alone. Those folk who shiver in Europe, trying to feed themselves and to send money back to their families in Zimbabwe. Feeling the cold winds lash their shoulders and yet trying valiantly to remember the warm Zimbabwe sun caressing their cheeks. Those who have moved north or south of Zimbabwe, stayed in Africa as the African soil was all they knew. They have struggled now for forty years since independence, day in day out remembering their homes, seldom seeing their children, trying to scrape an existence in alien, hostile climes. Those folk who lost their lands, their homes, their furniture, their farm implements, their very existence, separated from their families, their loyal workers and driven away from everything they had ever known. Those folk who even lost their lives, countless thousands who died at the hand of a despot. Countless graves dotted throughout the veldt, unprotected, unnamed, unloved due to fear and repression. How many old people still survive this holocaust, living from hand to mouth. If they were privileged enough to have a pension, their pensions decimated, not once but twice now, scraping a meagre living on handouts, without electricity and running water. What does God know that we Zimbabweans don't know What will the history books say What do the remaining Zimbabweans say as their lives are being eroded even more and more When will there be absolutely nothing left of this beautiful country that held so much beauty and so much promise ++++ Watchdog !! ++++ 2) Notices and Events Bulawayo Quilters Guild will be meeting at Girls College Hall, 62 Livingstone Road, Suburbs, on Saturday 14 September 2019, 10am for 10.30am sharp.

It is the film of the year. I needed to lie down in a darkened room afterwards. So will you. [Guardian] United 93 stands as a towering, unforgettable testament to the bravery of the people who died that morning. [Daily Mirror] It is emotionally raw yet unsentimental; it is both brilliant and troubling. [BBC.com] Admission: $6.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 13 SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. BERLIOZ: ROMEO AND JULIET Berlioz died 150 years ago on 8 March 1869 Berlioz was a passionate lover of Shakespeare and from the play which first ignited his passion created a huge dramatic symphony which surrounds the conventional four movements of an orchestral symphony with various vocal episodes culminating in a grandly operatic finale. Sir Colin Davis is without peer as a Berlioz interpreter and it is good to have this fine (and often inspired) account it has great fire and dramatic intensity, as well as the sensibility and poetic feeling we associate with him. Quite apart from the virtuosity of his wonderful orchestra, listeners will be riveted by the singing of the three soloists The video direction could hardly be bettered. A thrilling performance. [Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music] Admission: $6.00 [free to Red Carpet members] THURSDAY SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. ALIEN 'In space, no one can hear you scream.' In Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic, released forty years ago in 1979, the crew of the spacecraft Nostromo, on the way home from a mission is woken up from hibernation by the ship's mother computer to answer a distress signal from a nearby planet. Capt. Dallas's (Tom Skerritt) rescue team discovers a bizarre pod field, but things get even stranger when a face-hugging creature bursts out of a pod and attaches itself to Kane (John Hurt). Over the objections of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), science officer Ash (Ian Holm) lets Kane back on the ship and the crew soon realises that they are not alone on the spaceship and that they must deal with the consequences... This is a screamingly spooky sci-fi tale. [New York Daily News] Enough to say that the tension is savage, you are held in suspense right up to the end frames. [Spectator] A sci-fi thriller of palpable, nerve-tingling tension, with Sigourney Weaver - playing warrant officer Ellen Ripley - in stunning form. [Daily Telegraph] Admission: $6.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 20 SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. ROSSINI: LA DONNA DEL LAGO Carriages: 10.10 p.m. An all-star cast assembled for the Met's first-ever performances of Rossini's La Donna del Lago, a romantic retelling of Sir Walter Scott's epic poem The Lady of the Lake, which was first performed 200 years ago on 24 September 1819. Joyce DiDonato is Elena, the title heroine, who is being pursued by not one, but two tenors, setting off sensational vocal fireworks. Joyce DiDonato was beyond perfect, a performance that may ultimately stand as a high point in her already lofty career. [NY Classical Review] Lovers of this operatic repertoire could wish for no more. [Classical-music.com] Joyce DiDonato is an absolute marvel.
