GIANT BULLFROGS

I wonder if you may be able to ask your readers whether or not they have seen the giant bull frogs this recently ended rainy season. Dr Broadley and I have not seen them, they seem to have disappeared. The biggest of the two is known as Pyxicephalus adspersus adspersus, and is found around Bulawayo through the midlands (highveld). The smaller of the species is called Pyxicephalus adspersus edulis and is found in the low veld, and along the eastern border (low veld mainly).

I have been out at night in areas where I normally saw or heard their single deep "Whoop" call, repeated slowly. Nothing. The flying ants only came out once, just after the first rains, and normally the giant frogs would follow, eating them. Nothing.
Cars almost always kill them when they hunt under the Street lamp posts, nothing. Mind you most lamp posts are without lights!

It would be sad if they have given up on us, they are seriously endangered in the Transvaal, and it may be that only Botswana can boast them now. If they have left our part of the world it may be in our interest to find out why. Dumping garbage, perhaps??
Regards,
Rob Hopkins.

Set to open on Thursday the 30th of April 2009 at the National Gallery in Bulawayo, the exhibition seeks to be part of the healing of the nation. At the time when we, as a nation, attempt to acquire a special place in the minds of the people across the whole world, there is no better way to reach out other than through Art.

Through this show the Gallery celebrates our ability to come back to our senses and show the world that together as a nation we can rebuild and become a powerhouse once again. We can not do this in isolation. We need the help of the world and the world helps us, it is time for introspections; and to mend our ways; refocus; reconcile and move onward, forward and Godward.

Copplia is the good-humoured story of Swanilda who attempts to win the love of Franz with the help of a beautiful but lifeless mechanical doll, made by Dr.Copplius whose dream it is to create one with a living soul. Il Signor Bruschino, Rossini's ninth opera (written when he was 20!) is a one-act farce which revolves around the young lovers Florville and Sofia. Sofia's guardian has promised her to the young Bruschino but he has run up a large bill at the local inn. Florville persuades the innkeeper to lock up Bruschino until he pays his bill and intends to assume his identity and marry Sofia before the deception is discovered, but complications ensue when Bruschino senior arrives...

The second in the new series of Peter Rollason's lunchtime programmes.

Friday 29 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Mozart: The Magic Flute
There will be a supper interval. Carriages: 10.00 p.m.
Mozart's last opera in a colourful production from Glyndebourne designed by David Hockney, conducted by Bernard Haitink and with Felicity Lott and Benjamin Luxon among the cast.
"What dominates John Cox's lively 1978 production of Die Zauberflöte for Glyndeboune are the sets and designs of David Hockney.... the vision is striking, with stylised scenery and landscapes in false perspective, with something of a toytown atmosphere, including a delightful dragon and oriental costumes for Sarastro's followers. That puts the production firmly on the side of pantomime rather then serious drama, but the excellent casting and the powerful conducting of Bernard Haitink ensure that this is not just a trivial entertainment. Leo Goeke as Tamino sings Dies Bildnis beautifully and the young Felicity Lott is a charming Pamina. Benjamin Luxon is a strong and positive Papageno with May Sandoz light, bright and agile as the Queen of the Night, Thomas Thomashke a well-focused Sarastro and the young Willard White is the Speaker. A memorable version." [Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music]

Monday 1 June at 5.15 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
"Wagner", the second in a series of films in the BBC Great Musicians series. Other dates:Monday 6 July (Beethoven), Monday 20 July (Bach) and Monday 3 August (Tchaikovsky) .

Thursday 4 June in Room 25 at 1.10 p.m.
Lunchtime Talk: Wagner and the Ring - 2
In the second talk in the series Michael Bullivant will look at Wagner's musical methods in The Ring.

Friday 5 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
Wagner: Das Rheingold
NO supper interval. Carriages: 10.00 p.m. The prologue to 'The Ring of the Nibelung' in a spectacular production from the Metropolitan Opera that followed Wagner's original stage directions as closely as possible with casts including the finest Wagnerian singers of the day. "In 1989 the Metropolitan Opera, celebrating the centenary of its first production of Wagner's Ring cycle, presented a new production with an American conductor in charge for the first time, James Levine. Brian Large adapted the spectacular staging by the Austrian actor-turned- producer, Otto Schenk, and added an extra dimension and sense of involvement. With lavish sets and costumes by Gunther Schneider-Siemssen, this is a full-bloodedly realistic production in the romantic tradition. For a video version there is everything to be said for this approach when the story is told so lucidly with splendid camera work. The aim was to modify the traditional approach, using all the theatrical effects available in in a modern theatre and, for example, the illusion of the Rhinemaidens swimming is very vivid at the start of Rheingold and, in the final scene of Götterdämmerung, after the Gibichung Hall has collapsed most realistically, we are briefly shown the bottom of the Rhine again and Valhalla in flames, reflecting exactly what the music tells us. Hildegard Behrens as Brünnhilde and James Morris as Wotan are both even more convincing when seen as well as heard and Siegfried Jerusalem as Siegfried makes a handsome hero." [The Penguin Guide] [The rest of "The Ring" will follow on Fridays 19 June, 3 July and 17 July]
The Academy is planning another book sale so any unwanted books and magazines will be gratefully received once the office has re-opened on Monday 4 May.

Just drive slowly, the pot holes are quite bad, but open the window, savour the glorious smells, inhale the beautiful yellow display mother nature has laid on especially for you, its truly a treat and one you must not miss.

The Bulawayo Events Calendar is a non profit newsletter which caters for two distinct groups of people:
1. Members of the public who would like to get an idea of what is happening in Bulawayo so that they can plan their free time to attend the events that are organised;
2. Event organisers who are looking to find the best date to hold their fundraisers, meeting, shows etc to ensure they pick dates free of conflicting events that would otherwise hamper the attendance and ultimately success of their own functions. Hopefully, once your date has been entered into the calendar - other event organisers will ensure they avoid that date for their functions.

The calendar does not send out general adverts that do not pertain to a 'diarised' events (such as general adverts of services and such). The calendar is not able to send out advertising attachments. This calendar is run in conjunction with the Morning Mirror so an adverts placed in the Morning Mirror in line with the donation policy will be automatically entered into the calendar.

Recently there has been a huge number of email addresses that have gone 'dormant' and so have been deleted from the system. I apologise if your address has been caught up in this 'housekeeping' . If you no longer receive the newsletter and wish to, or you would like to sign up for the first time - please email me directly with your details.

Happy Eventing!

As part of our continuing efforts to get the environs of the Hillside Dams up to scratch and to provide space for the many visitors who are now coming to the Dams, we will hold our next monthly cleanup day on
WEDNESDAY 6th MAY 2009.

Please come along and join us.
If you can afford to let your staff be with us for the day or morning that would be of wonderful assistance. Advisory help also required for those who can not swing a panga.

We will meet at the Lower Dams car park at 08h00.
Please bring along any of the following if possible - panga, slasher or heavy duty rake. Also water and tea. We will provide sadza & relish for lunch. We will be there to organise the work parties.

We look forward to seeing you there. For further details contact estate@hillsidedams .com or Thelma on 242490 (Bulawayo).

I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to the following who helped in cash and kind:-
Susan McLeod (my dearest aunt, without you, this would not have been possible, thank you). A special thank you to Inky Pullen; Aunt Bloema; Veronica Stanley; Anita Jameison; Aunt Emma; Aunt Rikie; Aunt Bridget; Tanya McKop; Veronica Esof; Anne Williams; Carlin Hall; Lin Saudan; La Toya Ali-Mohamed; Meena Jinabhai; Marie Waite; Ann Riley- Hawkins; Patrina Naik; Lizzie Mack; Roseanne Williams; Luan Mellors; Mr Jamnadas Daya; Mr Naresh Rajput; Stella Sweetman; Sherry Taylor; Terri Phillips; Janine & Mrs Wynguard and Roz Thomas.

Without the love, optimism & support (both financial & mentally) from Susan, Dalz, Rory and Galvin, I would be a total wreck. Thank you guys, I love you so much! A BIG thank you and most welcomed contribution, from the Loyal Women's Guild as well as Mr & Mrs Engelbrecht, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you!

Bronwen McKop



Many thanks to all of those of you who came to the Dams over the last couple of weeks. We had record crowds over the public holidays and it is really encouraging. Clearly we are becoming a venue of choice in Bulawayo and we would like to thank you for your support of this community venture.

Our most sincere thanks go to the Dakin family for coming to our assistance with mowing the picnic area near the head of the Lower Dam.
We will now keep it under control while we are planning to add a few benches as well as a volleyball court and general games area.
Can any one let me know the dimensions of the beach volleyball court?

We would also like to thank those who responded to our lawn mower appeal and for the "throw out paint". The children's play area is looking so much better with its new coat of many colours, while we still have adequate paint for additional repairs to the various scattered benches and tables throughout the Conservancy. Special thanks to the Cottam and van Blerk families for their kind donations of enamel.

The next project is to get those public toilets up to scratch.
We are looking for any support, possibly corporate assistance like the public toilets outside the Large City Hall? However any throw out would be gratefully received from toilet seats to whitewash. We intend to start with the toilets at the Lower Dam but there are three other blocks around the Conservancy where we haven't even started reversing years of neglect and vandalism.

Please contact us if you assist in any way via estate@hillsidedams .com
It has been a cold and miserable couple of days in Bulawayo but the sun is now out and we hope to see you at the Dams this weekend.
Many Thanks
Hillside Dams Conservancy

10) ACCOMMODATION OUT OF ZIMBABWE

PROPERTY INVESTMENT IN AUSTRALIA

Craig & Karin Bailey (formerly from Bulawayo), have been involved in property investment in Australia with Brisbane-based company, Wealth Acceleration Group (WAG), since 2002. They found property to be such a great investment vehicle that they recently opened a Toowoomba branch of Wealth Acceleration Group so that they too can offer WAG's hugely successful wealth creation strategies to people locally, throughout Australia, and to investors in southern Africa.

- Did you know that unlike the USA & the UK, Australia currently has a shortage of 200 000 homes? Therefore due to basic economics, there is a huge demand for property in Australia that will continue to push prices up. As a result property experts expect properties to boom in 2010 and 2011.
- Did you know that houses in Australia have doubled in value every 7-10 years for the past 100 years. Through wars, wage concerns, the oil crisis of the 1970s, capital gains tax, high interest rates, low inflation and the introduction of GST - all arguments against properties increasing in value over the past 5 decades - properties doubled in value every 10 years.
- Above that, real data figures from 1978 in Brisbane show an average annual growth rate of 10%. And this growth compounds each year.
We work on the basis of LEVERAGE - holding as much appreciating asset with as little money as possible -, COMPOUND and TIME. We also manage your cash flow to ensure that you have the money needed to pay your bills on your property. And we give investors advice and back up service.
If you are interested in investing in property in Australia, whether you're in Australia or in southern Africa, contact us and we'll give you the information that you need to start investing. Our website is also filled with excellent information.

Investors outside Australia:
- Did you know that property investment helps toward your immigration requirements for Australia?
- We can get you a 70% loan with Australian banks.
- We have a way to structure 2 properties for you in such a way that they cost you nothing! Too good to be true? Contact me and I'll tell you how.
- If you don't have a lot of capital, you can do a joint venture with 12% returns.

TUITION ( MATHS, PHYSICS, AND CHEMISTRY) AND IT CONSULTANCY

Is your son or daughter having difficulty with O or A Level Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry?

Do the A Level classes contain 30 students rather than 10? Classes this size do not allow for much individual help.

If so, I can coach your son or daughter in the above subjects, having had 35 years experience teaching these subjects. I take only one student at a time, which ensures that the student has individual attention and help. Are you having problems with expensive inflexible payrolls? If so, I can develop an extremely reasonably priced tailor made payroll system for your business, mine, farm or institution. I also offer computer courses in MS Windows operating system, MS Word word processing, MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access database, MS Project Project Design, desk top publishing, AutoCAD computer aided design, MS Outlook Express e-mail, Internet browsing and search, Corel Draw, Corel PhotoPaint graphic design and digital photography.

Wanted

I've been trying to trace a book called "Never a Dull Life" by JHR Savory(the father of Allan Savory).
It's a small book about his days as a surveyor in S Rhodesia.He worked for various depts and in his time surveyed the Okavango Swamps,a railway line from Lion's den to Kafue via Chirundu,as well as being one of the main surveyors on the possible siting of a Hydro Electricity Scheme to supply S Rhodesia and the Copperbelt. Have you by any chance come across this very readable book I wonder?
