1) Editorial

They are an unlikely pair . Ugly and Teddy. Ugly is very aptly name although he has a beauty all of his own. No mother every really thinks her child is ugly after all.

Predominately white with albino eyes, black splotches and an endearing pink nose, Ugly was born plain but has a feisty fabulous personality. Sadly his first owners had him "de- clawed" - an abominable and inhuman practice, however in spite of his disability Ugly is no ordinary cat. Teddy on the other hand is just a plain old ginger tom with brilliant topaz eyes, a slick of eyeliner at the corner, and a slinky disposition.

SheHoo Must Sing brought them home to Zimbabwe after a 4 year stint in a Texas university. They arrived via Lufthansa and we were peeved that we did not even attain any air miles for them ! Now these solid gold cats had spent their formative kitty years in an air conditioned Texas apartment. Everything in Texas is air conditioned otherwise Texas would not be there . Its 40 degrees and rising in the summer and minus all sorts of freezing things in the winter.

Ugly had been a dumpster cat before he was found, frozen into a little white icicle on SheHoo must sing's car bonnet. He adapted easily to apartment life, although he found it rather constraining not being able to jump out of the window (the apartment was after all on the third floor) Teddy on the other hand was born into apparent life and thrived on beds, settees and duvets quite happily. When the financial decision to ship them home to Mother was made, we were delighted. Caged animals are anathema to both of us, and Zoos and are on our verboten list.

I was thrilled to have the privilege of introducing Ug and Ted to our green and verdant garden, and our existing motley crew of dogs and cats..

Ugly took over the household immediately, he lay on his back the moment he arrived and started to play with the Great Dane, who, somewhat surprised, examined him all over with her gentle maws. Teddy was terrified, he had never met any animal bigger than a fly in all his years. It was fascinating seeing the two of them adapting from Texas apartment hood to suburban Zimbabwe. Teddy's topaz eyes had never seen dogs before, but more entrancing was the fact that his feet had never felt the touch of damp green grass.

He metamorphosed before our eyes, after the initial shock he leopard crawled across the lawn patting the prickly grass in trepidation and gazing in awe at the open sky and the waving trees above him. It was the sounds that entranced Ted at first, his only known sounds had been little girls' voices, the telly and the sound of the air conditioner !! How he was overwhelmed by the sounds of birds, airplanes, branches waving in the wind, and dogs barking !!

Ugly soon took Ted "under his wing" and taught him how to catch birds, it was fascinating watching Ugly slink into a feline ferret stance, and virtually beckon Ted to follow him in his ornithological pursuit.

"Sssh" you could almost hear Ug meow to Ted, "one foot in front of the other, keep low in the grass, slowly, slowly, catchee birdie"

As bird catching is frowned upon in our garden, the two took to ratting with a fierce intensity. Zimbabwe has a bad rat problem as our sanitation leaves something to be desired and every day two rats are proudly brought to mother and deposited with glee at my feet.

Ugly and Teddy God bless them for what they give to the family.
They bring about a new dimension to the old saying
"Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff."

PAB and the Academy
Lunchtime Talk: Have You Heard This?
Thursday 5 August at 1.10 p.m. in Room 25, Zimbabwe Academy of Music Peter Rollason introduces some music that may well be familiar...
Gosford Park
Thursday 5 August at 7.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
Gosford Park, directed by Robert Altman, features an all- star cast including Eileen Atkins, Helen Mirren, Kristin Scott Thomas, Maggie Smith, Alan Bates, Stephen Fry, Michael Gambon and Derek Jacobi. It was voted Best British Film of the Year and was described by the Daily Mail as "an instant classic", the Mirror as "a triumph" and the Telegraph as "brilliant". "It is November 1932. Gosford Park is the magnificent country estate to which Sir William McCordle and his wife, Lady Sylvia, gather relations and friends for a weekend shooting party. As the guests assemble in the gilded drawing rooms above, their personal maids and valets swell the ranks of the house servants in the teeming kitchen and corridors below-stairs. But all is not as it seems: neither amongst the bejeweled guests lunching and dining at their enormous leisure, nor in the attic bedrooms and stark work places where the servants labour for the comfort of their employers. Part comedy of manners, part mystery, the film is finally a moving portrait of events that bridge generations, class, sex, tragic personal history - and culminate in a murder. Or is it two murders?." Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members only]
Gounod: Rom o et Juliette
Friday 6 August at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall [with supper interval] Carriages: 10.30 p.m. Sir Charles Mackerras, who died on 14 July, "teases the romantic beauty from Gounod's score, which has been much admired since its first performance in 1867. In this recording the youthful Roberto Alagna as Romeo and Leontina Vaduva as Juliet lead an excellent cast in a touching portrayal of Shakespeare's story of impossible love." Sadly this DVD will also serve as a tribute to Sir Charles Mackerras who died on 14 July at the age of 84. Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers]
Planet 51
Tuesday 17 August at 2.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
Something for the children (and adults!) during the school holiday, a full-length "family animation comedy at its best!" "When Chuck the astronaut lands on a distant planet filled with little green people, he is surprised to discover that we are not alone in the galaxy. But he gets the shock of his life when the residents of Planet 51 mistakenly believe that his presence is the start of an alien invasion of the human kind! Luckily a Planet 51 teenager named Lem quickly realises that Chuck is friendly and the two blast off on an adventure to try and return Chuck safely to his space ship!" "...loaded with funny cool animation and off-the-wall comedy. It's lots of fun" [Jeff Craig: Sixty Second Preview] Admission: $2.00 / R15.00 - all ages!
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet
Friday 20 August at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall [with supper interval] Carriages: 10.00 p.m. A second Romeo and Juliet presents Prokofiev's magnificent score in the wonderful choreography of Kenneth MacMillan for the Royal Ballet. It "calls upon the full forces of a great company of dance-actors to present the street fights of the feuding Capulets and Montagues in renaissance Verona, and also to convey the splendour of such scenes as the Capulet ball. It also requires a ballerina and a premier danseur able to express the rapture and despair that mark the young lovers' tragedy. In Alessandra Ferri and Wayne Eagling the roles are lived with tremendous intensity, whether soaring during the balcony pas de deux or caught in the last agonizing moments in the Capulet vault." Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers]
A Handful of Dust
Thursday 26 August at 7.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall
"Tony and Brenda Last (James Wilby and Kristin Scott- Thomas).appear to be the perfect married couple - with money, a great country house and n adored son, John Andrew. When Tony inadvertently invites John beaver (Rupert Graves), an idle ad penniless young socialite, to stay for the weekend, he sets in motion a series of events which drastically disrupts the course of all their lives." The film also stars Judi Dench, Anjelica Houston and Sir Alec Guinness "Don't let anyone tell you this isn't the best Waugh ever filmed. It is impeccable in looks, sentiments, locations, casting. everyone in the film is so good" (Alexander Walker - The Evening Standard); "A breathtakingly fine job. the film's delights are everywhere" {Los Angeles Times); "A great British film" {Screen International)..

I have just returned from a week-end at Jabulani Safaris in Shangani. I took an old school friend who was in Bulawayo for her first visit in many years.
I would like to recommend the camp to any of your readers who would like a few days break. The setting is beautiful, the hosts so warm and welcoming, the food plentiful and delicious.
The area has so much to offer - plainsgame, wonderful birdlife, historical areas such as Nalethale ruins, Dhlo Dhlo ruins, Bila ruins, cave paintings etc. The guides are interesting and knowledgeable. For the energetic amongst us there is an obstacle course,hikes, or you can just sit on the old farmhouse verandah with a glass of wine and enjoy the veldt. They have set up game feed troughs next to a small water hole and each evening Giraffe, Zebra, Eland, Impala and Wildebeest come down.
All in all a wonderful break at a reasonable rate with something for everyone. My thanks to Win, Richard and Admire for a truly enjoyable break.

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.

The Worlds's View

Matopos
Deep solemn thoughts pervade the soul
When gazing o'er the veld
For here the giant Matopos rol
And in far distance melt
To purple, gold, and fairy shades,
Glory beyond compare,
As in to one each other fades,
In a pageant rich and rare.
A thousand hills in the "Worlds View"
Delight the eager eye,
Such scenes dark warriors often knew,
Echoed their fierce war cry.
Now nature smiles, and over head
Sweep clouds in a sky of blue,
Where one the assegais, bright red.,
Their countless victims slew.
Matopos holds a mystic spell,
Elusive at zephyr's breath,
No man can now its history tell,
Strange tales of life and death,
It's secret ne'er will stand revealed,
One may only muse and dream.
Time's lips are closed, for ever sealed,
On many a thrilling scene
Here, in this sacred lonely site,
Rhodesia's Founder lies,
That man of vision, strength and right,
Who made Rhodesia rise,
His might spirit broods there still,
And will for ever stand,
While those of courage and goodwill,
Are found in our dear land.
In this quiet, open windswept space,
Rhodesia's hero's lie,
They justified their pride of race,
Their fame shall never die,
The men of " Wilsons epic stand"
Who fought 'neath the setting sun,
Read here their epitaph, simple, grand,
Survivors there were none.
Britain has many a gorgeous fane,
Where great men sleep installed,
Her kings of a many a famous reign,
Have tombs that men's hearts enthralled.
But no jeweled glass lights Matopos sky,
No organ peals a hymn,
But the glorious Sun shines bright on high,
And at night the stars ne'er dim.
Only the birds and the rustling leaves,
Only the wind's soft sighs,
Blend with the song of the the whispering trees,
Under the wondrous skies,
There do they rest and their spirit seems,
Eternal in Britains race,
May we recall them in happy dreams,
Looking on Matopos dear face.

G.H. Johnson
