Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Morning Mirror Edition 569 - 25/12/2013



In this edition


1) Editorial

Newsy Sensation

Zimbabwe must rival the Sun Newspaper for sensational headlines in the newspaper!! There was one the other day shouting out in bold black on a billboard 'Prophet loses privates in botched cleansing'.. Now I also need to add that this same rag, omitted to even mention the passing of Mandela, which was news headlines in every other country in the world!!

Well I never did, I suppose it makes people buy the ghastly rag!! The more sensational and lascivious the headline, the more the newspaper sells I am led to believe.

'Baby born with frog feet' and 'Baby born with pythons body' how can anyone even read an article with that headline Of course there was a furor a few years ago when the headline 'prophet gets diesel from rock' that had all the ministers running for a piece of the action I gather!!

Anything smutty is a guaranteed read - the headline 'Wife emasculates husband with teeth' pushes up sales exponentially!!

This week there was a headline that caused a little amusement. ' Uproar as priest bathes in mineral water' well I never did!!!!

There is a 'library' outside my pharmacy, and one has to tread carefully when entering the shop, in case one slips on the piles of newspapers and magazines festooning every inch of the pavement!! People sit happily on a beer crate, reading the paper for fifty cents without buying it, and then folding it neatly again for sale!!

It is an eclectic range of books and magazines for sale. Everything from 'O' Level Math's textbooks to a 1999 copy of Fairlady!!

To end the Editor and all involved in the distribution of the Morning Mirror would like to wish all our readers a joyous Christmas and a wonderful New Year.


"What is Christmas It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.

It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace."

THE NEW YEAR AT THE ACADEMY

THE CONCERT / EVER AFTER - A CINDERELLA STORY
New Year's Eve, Tuesday 31 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
'"The Concert" is one of the few successful comic ballets, and the one that I still find the most hilarious I have ever seen' [Noel Goodwin] '"Ever After" is a movie of surprises, not least that the old tale still has life and passion in it. I went to the screening expecting some sort of soppy children's picture and found myself in a costume romance of humour, energy and zest. And I was reminded again that Drew Barrymore can hold the screen and involve us in her characters...' [ Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times]. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet and film members] Three-course dinner available - $15.00 per head.

NEW YEAR'S CONCERT
Friday 3 January 2014 in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
The Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert in 2011 'was enhanced by two debuts: Franz Welser-Möst, General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera conducted for the first time, and music by Franz Liszt, who was born on 22 October 1811 in Raiding (now in Austria but then in Hungary), was performed at a New Year's Concert for the first time.' Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available - $10.00

ROMAN POLANSKI'S MACBETH
Thursday 9 January at 7.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
As well as several significant musical anniversaries, 2014 is the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth and this will be commemorated across the year with films of several of the plays and a dozen operas, ballets and musicals derived from them, beginning with two versions of "Macbeth" 'Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow' - but the bodies keep piling up today, from the opening battle, to the beheading of the traitor Cawdor, to the - onscreen - murder of Duncan, to the electrifying final duel to the death. His first work after the Manson massacre of his wife and friends, Polanski's graphic adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy of ambition was almost inevitably overshadowed at the time by the horrific parallels, but can now be seen as a striking interpretation and one of the great film adaptations of the Bard.

VERDI: MACBETH
Friday 10 January at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
Black, red, cream and gold are the colours that define this Royal Opera House staging of Verdi's robust, yet penetrating setting of Shakespeare's Scottish play. Manipulated by a whole coven of cunning, scarlet-turbaned witches, Simon Keenlyside is an athletic, brooding Macbeth and Liudmyla Monastyrska as his Lady is both imperious and subtle. Masterfully conducted by Antonio Pappano, this performance goes far beyond mere sound and fury. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available - $10.00

DOWNTON ABBEY: SERIES 4
Thursdays 16, 23, 30 January at 7.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
Downton Abbey returns and finds Lady Mary mourning her husband Matthew. Will she find happiness again. And, as the succession is thrown into chaos, how will Lord Grantham deal with managing the estate Who will take over the reins now that the heir apparent is dead Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]

PAQUITA - BALLET
Friday 17 January at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
Over the past few years the National Opera de Paris has produced some stunning ballets and this latest is a reconstruction by Pierre Lacotte of one that had not been seen in its entirety for many years, Paquita which tells the story of a Spanish gypsy girl called Paquita, who falls in love with a French nobleman called Lucien.

The contents of this E mail have been extracted from Biz Bulletin July-October 2013 - Volume 19, Number 3.

With the festive season approaching and the influx of foreign visitors it would be advisable to bear in mind the ban on using cell phones whilst driving.

The judgment in the case of the State vs Babbage, High Court Judgment HB 157/2012 makes useful points on the offence.

At the time Babbage was in his late 20s and was employed as a manager in Bulawayo.
A police officer arrested him for using a handheld cell-phone whilst driving, in contravention of section 16B(1) of the Roads & Road Traffic (Rules of the Road) (Amendment) Regulations, 2002 (No. 9)
He duly appeared in magistrates court and pleaded guilty.
Despite a favourable report from a probation officer recommending community service, the magistrate sentenced Babbage to 14 days imprisonment.
He appealed to the High Court against this sentence.

The thrust of the appeal was that the sentence passed by the magistrates court was excessive in the circumstances and induced a sense of shock. The State itself conceded that it was unduly harsh. The High Court Judge studied SI 299/2002 but could not find a stipulated penalty. The Judge concluded that for this offence by a young, employed offender, neither community service nor imprisonment was appropriate - and altered the penalty to a fine of $20, failing which 5 days imprisonment.

The ban on drivers holding or operating handheld 'communication devices' (such as cell-phones) came into force in November 2002. The holding or operating of a handheld communication device (such as a cell-phone) while driving was originally made a traffic offence with effect from 1st August 2002 by means of Statutory Instrument 205/2002. A cell-phone contained in 'headgear' was permitted. Unfortunately, the definition of 'headgear' was so wide that it negated the effect of the ban. Consequently, SI 205/2002 was repealed and its amended provisions in November 2002 in SI 299 of 2002, is the current legislation governing the use of communication devices by vehicle drivers. Note that even holding a cell-phone while driving is an offence.

In terms of 16B (1) No person shall drive a vehicle on a public road -
(a) while holding a cellular or mobile telephone or any other communication device in one or both hands or with any other part of the body
(b) while using or operating a ..device unless such .. device is affixed to the vehicle or is part of the fixture in the vehicle and remains so affixed while being used or operated, or is specially adapted or designed to be affixed to the person of the driver as headgear, and is so used..

(3) In this section 'headgear' includes a device which is specially designed or adapted to allow the driver to use a cellular or mobile telephone or other communication device in such a manner that the driver does not hold it in one or both hands or with any other part of the body, and which is connected to the cellular or mobile telephone or other communication device concerned, directly or indirectly, while being fitted or attached to one or both ears of the driver.'

So this is what you need to bear in mind this festive season:

Don't hold or operate a handheld communication device, especially a cell-phone, while driving. It is illegal. If you need to make a call, pull off the road, apply the handbrake - and switch off your engine if you see police in the vicinity so you can at least argue that you were not driving with the device in your hand.
People may feel intimidated when confronted by official references to arrest, community service, imprisonment etc. (In this regard, see the above High Court judgment in Babbage.)
Note that the courts do not treat lightly attempts by members of the public to bribe police officers on duty. No matter the circumstances, it is unwise to initiate the offer of a bribe, as you thereby put yourself on the wrong side of the law - ie contravening subsection (1) of section 170 ('Bribery') of the Criminal Law Code (Chapter 9:23 of the Statute Law of Zimbabwe) which makes it a corrupt practice to offer 'a gift or consideration' to a public officer, such as a police officer, to induce him not to do what his employment requires him to do.
In terms of section 170(2) of the Code, a policeman or other public officer who solicits or accepts any benefit or advantage is guilty of a criminal offence that carries the risk of a fine up to Level 14 (US$5 000) and/or imprisonment for up to 20 years. So does any member of the public who offers or gives a gift/consideration/benefit/advantage. Increasingly the police are investigating corrupt behaviour in their own ranks, so yesterday's 'little' solution may come back to bite you as tomorrow's mega-problem.
So tough it out. There may be attempts to intimidate you - but how likely is it that a corrupt officer will really risk taking you to the police station Or that an officer properly enforcing traffic legislation while trying to meet the daily quota of fines he has been given will start the time-consuming process of sending you (one day) to magistrates court where, at some inconvenience to himself he will have to present himself as the principal witness, and where any fine imposed by the magistrate will go to Treasury and not the ZRP
If you remain calm, courteous and steadfast in the face of implied threats, you will probably be waved on. DO NOT lose your temper - or you risk arrest without warrant for 'undermining of police authority' (section 177 of the Criminal Law Code.
The Judge in the Babbage case pointed out for the avoidance of doubt that the following is the correct legal position which should be followed by the relevant authorities:-

- Where a motorist is caught using a mobile or cellular phone, he should be issued with a ticket to pay a fine as stipulated in level 5 - maximum of $200.00;
- the said ticket should give the motorist a reasonable time within which to pay the fine in accordance with their regulations unless the said offender elects to pay the fine on the spot;
- the Police are however, empowered to use their powers as they deem fit depending on the motorist e.g. if he/she is a foreigner, if he/she has no acceptable identification which will in turn make it difficult for him/her to be traced in the event of a default in paying the fine;
- a police officer cannot and should not insist on a spot fine on the basis that he is not in possession of a Ticket book which Ticket book is a necessary administrative tool for executing his duties.
- A police officer's failure to carry relevant stationery cannot be used to curb and/or infringe people's rights.
I have been a little bewildered by the obvious confusion amongst your readers regarding a Re-entry Visa and a Permanent Residenct Permit, so I phoned Immigration this morning to seek clarity, and spoke to a very helpful Mr. Dhliwayo on this subject.

He confirmed to me that your Permanent Resident Permit is stamped in the front of your passport, and lasts as long as the passport is valid. The Re-entry Visa is issued on application to Immigration, does not have to be re-newed every year, but only applied for if and when one is travelling out of Zimbabwe and you may wish to return.

I trust that this information will be helpful to your readers, and put an end to the panic!

With kind regards,Yours sincerely,Gordon Grierson.

THE IDEAL BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS

This is a story about a paradise lost. . . . About an African dream that began with a murder . . .
In 1978, in the final, bloodiest phase of the Rhodesian civil war, eleven-year-old Lauren St John moves with her family to Rainbow's End, a wild, beautiful farm and game reserve set on the banks of a slow flowing river. The house has been the scene of a horrific attack by guerrillas, and when Lauren's family settles there, a chain of events is set in motion that will change her life irrevocably.

Rainbow's End captures the overwhelming beauty and extraordinary danger of life in the African bush. Lauren's childhood reads like a girl's own adventure story. At the height of the war, Lauren rides through the wilderness on her horse, Morning Star, encountering lions, crocodiles, snakes, vicious ostriches, and mad cows. Many of the animals are pets, including Miss Piggy and Bacon and an elegant giraffe named Jenny. The constant threat of ruthless guerrillas prowling the land underscores everything, making each day more dangerous, vivid, and prized than the last.

The book is $20.00 and entire proceeds are being donated to The Haven in Bulawayo, under the auspices of Morning Mirror and the generous author Lauren St John.
