From " The Week " 20 August 2005 How we use up water 30 litres of water go down the drain when you shower for five minutes ; 80 litres are used in the average bath ; 5 litres are wasted by running the tap while brushing your teeth ; 1000 litres an hour are used by a garden sprinkler ; 4 litres a day are wasted by a dripping household tap ; 650 litres a day are used per guest per day in a hotel ; 10,000 litres a day irrigates an 18 - hole golf course ; 1 flush of the lavatory uses as much water as the average person in the developing world uses for one day's washing , drinking , cleaning and cooking .

INVITATION TO BOOK LAUNCHES 'amaBooks invites everyone to two book launches on Saturday 1 October at the National Gallery in Bulawayo during the Intwasa Festival. At 12.30pm Sonatas, by Deon Marcus Sonatas is a collection of personal poems written over a period of five years. They reflect Deon Marcus' experiences and varied interests, whether in ancient history, art, music or poetry, and bring together aspects of life in their most basic forms. The poems in Sonatas are sometimes strangely utopian and hopeful, sometimes nostalgic and tragic. Some have the flavour of Africa, particularly Zimbabwe, but geography is secondary as the appeal of his work is universal.

Few Zimbabwean poets have managed to move convincingly beyond the contradictions that colonialism has imposed on us; but Deon Marcus does; and he does it over and over again. There is so much wretched guilt, so much unrelenting accusation in the poetry of Zimbabwe and other Anglophone countries in Africa. Now here comes a voice, fresh as a 'Monet morning with the sun / breathing warmth across an ochre sky'. And it speaks of joy, the joy that grows out of a profound awareness that shadows don't exist without light Deon Marcus is a poet - not from London or New York or Harare, but from Bulawayo - and we are very proud of him. John Eppel, The Zimbabwean

The Sonatas launch will be followed by the Bulawayo launch of John Eppel's Songs My Country Taught Me, published by Weaver Press.

At 4.00pm on Saturday 1 October

Zimbabwe's Cultural Heritage, by Pathisa Nyathi

Zimbabwe's Cultural Heritage is a collection of pieces on the culture of the Ndebele, Shona, Tonga, Kalanga, Nambiya, Xhosa and Venda. A brief historical background is given for each group, though the emphasis of this book is not on the histories of groups, but on their cultural practices. The book is based on published material, Pathisa Nyathi's personal experiences and on interviews that capture the memories of elders such as the 'mobile library', Nyumbana 'Driver' Dube, Gogo Matshazi, Hudson Halimana Ndlovu, Lawrence Jenjezwa and Duncan Sinampande.

Pathisa Nyathi gives the reader an insight into the world view of different peoples, through descriptions of their history and life events such as pregnancy, marriage and death. The book is intended for all those who are interested in the cultural practices of their own ancestors and the ancestors of others. The launch of Zimbabwe's Cultural Heritage will be accompanied by the Bulawayo launch of We Hold on to the Word of Lizard: a Small Anthology of Zimbabwean Ndebele Writing, translated into English and Czech by Alena Rettova.

The Bulawayo Publicity Association would like to inform the public that the National Parks & Wildlife have moved their offices from 11th Ave / H Chitepo St and are now at 1st Floor Coal House, R Mugabe Way btwn 9th & 10th Aves.

PETRA HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER SIZZLE

On 29 October we are having a fund raising day in aid of completion of buildings already in the course of erection.(Building costs have gone up) As Chairperson of the Parent Support Group, I am asking whether or not I may send you a letter offering advertising space on the day. The money raised from advertising will go towards "prize money" - the two main events being a Survivor type course and dance competition open to senior school children. (Alternatively you may consider providing a prize) Many of the events will comprise groups competing against each other.

Furthermore, would you be prapared to consider sponsoring a team of walkers/ runners the course being from Petra High School back to Petra High approx 5 K's - the route will be marked with arrows. Your staff/ other walkers can wear Tregers T shirts/ or hold a banner or just walk. These " advertising costs" would go to Edith Duly in its entirety . giving the walkers some pocket money to buy a drink and something to eat would go towards Petra. To complete the picture there will also be 1) stalls - jewelley/wood craft/ home made toys etc. Suggested Cost per stall $150 000. Many of these stall holders top up their pensions by selling at these functions. 2) Creche 3)Tea/coffee/cake tent 4) Curry and rice and other food on Sale Other ideas still being worked on.

I realise that there are many "begging bowls" out there so no matter how small the donation we would be so grateful. Should you have any ides/suggestions - these would be most welcome. AUDREY alocke@aon.co.zw
