Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 976 - 20/5/2022

Holiday Souvenirs

And so you're flying down to Africa tomorrow..
And ask me what you can bring me. What
Can I say..the sky is too wide to fit in your case,
I say, and The Falls will drench and drown you.
So please just sit out in the indigo night and stare
Full hard at the stars, turn dizzy as you scan
The Milky Way. Search for the Southern Cross, please,
And trace its path down the expanse of stars.
Listen for the birds that punctuate the bush,
That call and fly at day's end, and then bask
In the sunset, eyes closed and cheeks warm.
Memorise the animals - elephants, rhinos,
Zebra and giraffe, and those fleet antelope,
And bring them back in your mind for me.
All that will weigh nothing at all, cost nothing,
And yet be as valuable as all the world.

ISLAND HOSPICE TAKKIE DAY

Re: Invitation to support the Island Hospice & Healthcare Takkie Week
We are pleased to invite you to another edition of the Takkie Day Campaign for 2022. The campaign will run over a week, from Monday 23 May - Sunday 28 May. See attached flier.

Over the past 42 years, Island has evolved into a centre of excellence engaged in capacity building in the health sector as well as practice-led research activities.
These activities are supported by international donors but Island's core activity of providing palliative care to Zimbabweans, particularly the most vulnerable members of our society, relies on local support.
At Island, we believe that no man is an island and we do not turn away anyone who requires care regardless of race, creed, or background.
We are appealing to local organisations, corporates, and individuals to join us in this year's Takkie Week campaign and assist in meeting this unmet and growing need.
Please consider partnering with Island in the Takkie Week campaign by:
- Making a corporate or individual donation.
- Wearing your #Takkies4Island between 23 - 28 May 2022
- Adding some colour to your takkies with a pair of Island green and yellow shoelaces
- Buying a pair of branded Island Takkies. This is a limited edition and available on pre-orders only, for US$25 / pair
- Sharing your fun moments of #TakkieDay / #TakkieWeek / #Takkies4Island challenge on social media and tagging Island.
- Contacting us at Island Bulawayo to place your order for shoelaces or branded takkies and for donations on the following:
Tel: 0292277972
Cell: 0712845003
Email: bulawayo@islandhospice.co.zw

THURSDAY 19 MAY AT 6.30 P.M. LINE OF DUTY: SERIES 5
Ted has a very bad day which kicks off with the news that AC-12 is being taken off the Operation Peartree investigation and it only gets worse; Kate and Steve suffer personal problems to add to their major ones at AC12....
- It's absolutely a must watch. It really builds up incrementally. Blinding, I loved it. [BBC.com]
- Season five has been a joyous ride and held the audience captive for the past six weeks. [Daily Express]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 20 MAY NO DVD

THURSDAY 26 MAY AT 6.30 P.M. ALIEN 3
Alien 3, released on 22 May 1992, follows directly on from Aliens. After escaping from the colony Hadley's Hope, Ellen Ripley's ship crashes into a prison planet. Ripley soon realises her ship crashed because of the alien stowaway on-board. As the alien matures and begins to kill off the planet's inhabitants, Ripley is unaware that her true enemy is more than just the killer alien...
- Bold and haunting..[Rolling Stone]
- Probably the most misunderstood of any of the 'Alien' movies, David Fincher's gritty contribution to the franchise is a thrill to watch. You should seek it out. [Insider]
- It's visually breath-taking, and Fincher infuses the material with a genuine sense of dread. [The Spool]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 27 MAY AT 6.30 P.M. SWEENEY TODD, THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, directed by Tim Burton, is an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's award-winning 1979 musical which tells the melodramatic Victorian tale of Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp) who is determined to get his revenge on evil Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) who had him transported to Australia for a crime he did not commit. Returning after 15 years, he applies his razor to unlucky customers and shuttles the bodies down to Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) who uses them in her meat-pie shop.
Having been struck by the cinematic qualities of Sondheim's musical while still a student, Burton had entertained the notion of a film version since the early 1980s. Sondheim, although not directly involved, was extensively consulted during production. Depp, not known for his singing, took lessons in preparation for his role, which producer Richard D. Zanuck acknowledged was something of a gamble.
- It is distinguished, hypnotic, brilliantly executed and positively electrifying. [Observer]
- A symphony of blood, bravura, butchery, barbarity and beauty, this film could quite possibly be the musical event of the year. [MovieFreak.com]
- Sweeney Todd is often considered Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece; it's too early to say, but it may be Tim Burton's as well. [Cinema Blend]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
