The word "un-patriotic" came to mind as we had firmly advocated for our whole lives that our game parks in Zim were the best - and now we could not longer say that in all truthfulness ! After a visit to the Masai Mara life changes. One thinks that one is prepared for the spectacle, so much has been written and filmed about "The Crossing" the fabled wildebeest crossing, but nothing can prepare one for this incredible primeval occurrence. Our encounter with the wildebeest began at a conservancy in Kenya called Encounter Mara. A little to the north of the great Masai Mara Game Reserve itself, this brand new tented camp is in fact run by a young Zimbabwean conservationist who went to Whitestone school with our youngest. Sean Anderson and his wife Tess run a very special eco-haven with all the trimmings which made our "Encounter Mara" unforgettable. From the silent Askari swathed in silver chains and a scarlet shuka, standing on one leg, spear in hand, guarding the outside of our tent, to the fireside evening bomas and excellent meals, Encounter Mara has it all. Their safari vehicles were well equipped and beautifully maintained and the guides who took us to the migration were fabulous and fully trained in eco-guiding. We had always been under the impression that the massing of the Wildebeest was a single and sudden massive scamper from the Serengeti plains across the Mara River to the Masai Mara plains. Nothing could have prepared us for the astounding sight of mile after mile after mile of plains game as far as they eye could see, a seething black mass of zebra and the comical but gentle wildebeest or as he is more fondly know - the gnu, undoubtedly one of God's caricatures. We drove for three hours feasting our eyes on vast swathes of wildebeest, every nook and cranny, every hillside, every rolling down was a seething mass of munching migrators !! Their golden beards standing out in the Kenyan sun, contrasting sharply with the black and white of the zebra, and all the while interspersed with elephant, giraffe, Topi, Grant's Gazelles, Thompson's Gazelle, impala, eland, waterbuck and then there were of course - the Cats !! We saw prides of lion, paler in colour than our own, giant swaggering prides, with tummies so full they could do little but lie in the shade of the stunted bushes, waiting for their next meal !! Lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, jackal, vultures, all cohabiting in the most magnificent of all game parks we certainly had ever seen. "Hmmm" said the pundits, "early September? You will have surely missed the fabled crossing, you could be just too late". Only Mother Nature knows for sure when this phenomena will take place. Sometime, African Time, between June and October, its a big window to guestimate !! Unlike our own parks, the Mara is a hive of vehicle activity and we thought smugly, distastefully even, who wants to one of many game viewers in the Mara when we can have the entire Hwange National Park to ourselves most days ? But exhilarated and overwhelmed with the sheer majesty of numbers, we sallied forth with the other safari vehicles to find a vantage point from which to seek the fabled "crossing." And indeed it was our fabulously lucky day. We had cautiously undertaken a hot air balloon flight from the camp to the Mara, followed by a champagne breakfast after a very safe landing by yet another Zimbabwean - (but that's a story for another time.) The wildebeest were undoubtedly a lot more restless than the previous day, we had seen from the air that they were forming massive patterns, giant lines many kilometres long, instead of grazing peacefully as they had been the day before. Was Mother Nature going to be kind to us? The guide told us that they are fractious creatures, crossing from one side of the river to the other several times in a season because after all the "grass is always greener!" isn't it ? Positioning ourselves on a high ground vantage point, we waited, cameras poised expectantly. We were all firm migration experts after just two days in the Mara, and watched through the binos as the game massed and the herds along the river bank on both sides became more and more dense. They formed massive wave like patterns of uncertainty, and although the majority of the safari vehicles were controlled in deference to the game, the "matatus" (taxi/combis) from Nairobi were doing their darndest to upset this fragile eco system. Suddenly the cavalry charge started, we watched in open mouthed dismay as the primordial herds started to move like a giant dark cloud and the matatus began their frenetic, crazed vehicle charge to the nearest chosen crossing point. Our guide stubbornly refused to join the stampede knowing it would only terrify the gentle beasts and so we snuck slowly to another crossing point away from the madding crowd. Our luck was in, the wily wildebeest turned from the morass of vehicles and thundered towards us where we had an unspoiled view of this amazing natural phenomena. Thousands of beasts, large, small, old, young, thundered bravely towards the river, where giant crocodiles lay patiently mouths literally open in delight ! The river was not wide but it was fraught with danger, the sides were steep and several eco-unfriendly vehicles blocked the path at the top. We watched breathless as these amazing beasts with their spindly legs, leapt by their hundreds into the river, swam as fast as they could hoping, praying to get to the other side without being caught by those thrashing, vile reptiles. On the other side the banks were steep and slippery, inundated with boulders, and they threw their all into clambering painfully, in a frantic ungainly mass, up the other side. Our hearts were in our mouths, our tears literally fell as little ones were swept away or could not make the bank in time.. It was one of those agonizingly long, silent, special, interminable moments in time when one could but marvel at the majesty that is nature. +++++++ To get details on Encounter Mara contact sean@africanencounter.org +++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS Khayelihle Children's Village would sincerely like to apologise for any inconveniences caused with their change of date for their Event from the 20th of August 2011 to the 10th of September 2011.

"Epic saga with Kirk Douglas as a rebellious slave who leads a crusade for freedom against the forces of the Roman Empire. There are staggering battle scenes and delicious performances from Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and especially Peter Ustinov, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his scene-stealing work" (Maltin's 2011 Movie Guide). The film won three other Oscars and also stars Jean Simmons, Tony Curtis and Herbert Lom. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] KHACHATURIAN: SPARTACUS - BALLET Friday 9 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. "Internationally acclaimed as the greatest male dancer of his generation, Carlos Acosta stars as the rebel slave in the most spectacular of all Soviet ballets. Filmed in Paris after triumphant performances in Moscow and London, the Bolshoi's classic production presents the Cuban star at the height of his physical and dramatic powers, the greatest Spartacus of our time" [Jenny Gilbert]. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] LESLIE HOWARD (PIANO) Thursday 15 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Leslie Howard celebrates the 200th anniversary of Liszt's birth on 22 October 1811 with several of his works as well as music by another great composer-pianist, Sergei Rachmaninov: Liszt: Variations on a theme of J.S.Bach: "Weinen Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen" Liszt: Sarabande and Chaconne on themes from Handel's Opera "Almira" Liszt: Romancero Espagnol Rachmaninov: Three piano pieces from November 1917 Rachmaninov: Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op.36 (original version, 1913) The performance of the Romancero Espagnol will be the first anywhere in Africa! It is a 20-minute fantasy - of enormous difficulty even by Liszt's standards - based on traditional Spanish themes.which was only recently discovered and has been edited for performance by Leslie himself. The rest of the programme features two of Liszt's lesser know pieces derived respectively from music by Bach and Handel. After the interval come the last three short pieces that Rachmaninov wrote before he left Russia for ever and his magnificent Second Sonata, not often heard but a work to rival the popular piano concertos. This concert should be one of the year's highlights, if not the highlight... Admission: $10.00 / $5.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers] I CLAUDIUS Thursdays 22 & 29 September, 6, 13 & 20 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. - N.B. starting time! I Claudius tells the Emperor Claudius' epic story spanning the years of the first Emperors, from the mighty Augustus (Brian Blessed), through the cunning and terror of Tiberius (George Baker) and the madness of Caligula (John Hurt) to the reign of Claudius himself (Derek Jacobi) and his licentious wife Messalina. It was an immensely popular BBC serial and 25 years later Brian Blessed said, "I just think it's the best series ever... for the whole standard by everybody and the teamwork, it's on its own. It's as near perfection as you can get." He went on to add, "It was like a sort of Roman Coronation Street or Eastenders.... and yet the most appalling things happened, like murders and everything. The public really took it to its heart and relished it." There are thirteen 50-minute episodes and in addition a retrospective documentary made 25 years later and a film, The Epic That Never Was, narrated by Dirk Bogarde, which tells the story of an earlier, unsuccessful attempt to film the novels with Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and Flora Robson among the cast, an early victim of the "Claudius Curse"! Admission: $12.00 the series / $3.00 per session [free to film members] MASSENTET: MASSENET Friday 23 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. "David McVicar's production takes an unusually harsh view of the story, too often softened by Rococo prettiness. Here, everything and everybody is for sale, and behind the fa ade of 18th-century Paris lurks a world of corruption, disease and perversions. It is thrilling, sometimes even slightly shocking, and throughout the direction of the cast is faultless: every scene bears re-viewing for the amount of detail and dramatic energy that is released. "It is unlikely that Natalie Dessay will ever give a greater performance than this. Villaz n makes a passionate hero. The choreography reaches its heights in the elaborate hunting ballet.. I cannot imagine that we will see another Manon to equal this for a long time: highly recommended" [Gramophone, April 2008]. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] +++++ GIRLS' COLLEGE CULTURAL EVENING Girls' College will be hosting a Cultural Evening with cheese and wine and entertainment from our many talented pupils.

Bismillahi Gargar is a collective group of women of Somali origin from Garissa, North Eastern Kenya. The group's name is derived from the Somali words bismillahi meaning "in the name of Allah" and gargar meaning "joining or bringing together". Formed in 2003 with the purpose of reminding people of their traditional culture, Bismillahi Gargar focus on their own empowerment in an area where cultural practices can sometimes marginalize women. Music is just one of the activities they engage in. Besides performing on national holidays, at weddings, harvests and other festivities, the women also run a self-help group weaving mats and ropes. Their debut CD titled Garissa Express was recorded over a period of 2 years at Nairobi's Ketebul Studios, consisting of numerous trips for the ladies, shuttling back and forth between Garissa and Nairobi. This project involved just the four founding members, Lulu Bashir Muge, Anab Gure Ibrtahi, Amina Basher Elmoge and Asha Ibrahim Yussuf. It's recent release at Alliance Fran aise, Nairobi was a huge success and saw a full house grooving to their vocals, harmonies and dancing. Their music is uniquely Pop & Ethnical in keeping with Somali language and singing style, yet arranged and recorded with modern instrumentation. These performances are part of the INTWASA ARTS FESTIVAL: Art without Boundaries.

The Agenda Introducing the 2 Day Journey Intensive Event. On the first morning, the foundation of the work is laid. You learn about the Emotional Journey Process, and the nuts and bolts of how to do it. In the afternoon, after a live demonstration, you 'roll up your sleeves' and undergo your own process - working with another delegate, a partner of your choosing. It is only through your own experience that the real power of the work is revealed. You will receive comprehensive worksheets which fully guide you through the processes on each day. There is enormous personal support available. We create a highly supportive and nurturing environment, with the help of one trainer for every three or four couples working. On Sunday, building on Saturday's work, we move from the emotional to the physical and you'll learn the powerful process that set Brandon free from her tumour. You DO NOT need to have any physically diagnosed problem to benefit from this process - we all have places in our bodies that hold tension, and this process addresses any type of physical block. On Sunday evening you leave feeling free, empowered, energised - having let go of years of emotional and physical baggage - ready to take on the world - with a uniquely powerful and elegant set of tools you can use in all areas of your life - for the rest of your life! If you're still not sure what The Journey can do for you, then watch Brandon as she describes the famous emotional healing process that can transform your life.

It is a 20-minute fantasy - of enormous difficulty even by Liszt's standards - based on traditional Spanish themes.which was only recently discovered and has been edited for performance by Leslie himself. The rest of the programme features two of Liszt's lesser know pieces derived respectively from music by Bach and Handel. After the interval come the last three short pieces that Rachmaninov wrote before he left Russia for ever and his magnificent Second Sonata, not often heard but a work to rival the popular piano concertos. This concert should be one of the year's highlights, if not the highlight... Admission: $10.00 / $5.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers] MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO.6 Friday 16 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval Mahler's Sixth comes in a performance conducted by Claudio Abbado at the 2006 Lucerne Festival which "is as overwhelming as the music:.. It is a single live performance and is, I am sure, one of the greatest this shattering masterwork has ever received since its premi re under the composer in 1906. It is an awesome account of an awesome work... Here is a performance in a thousand" [International Record Review]. The Mahler will be preceded by Richard Strauss's Alpine Symphony, conducted by Herbert von Karajan, on the surface a vivid musical depiction of an assault on an Alpine peak but at the same time a glorification of nature in all her moods and ultimately a meditation on life and death. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] I CLAUDIUS Thursdays 22 & 29 September, 6, 13 & 20 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. - N.B. starting time! I Claudius tells the Emperor Claudius' epic story spanning the years of the first Emperors, from the mighty Augustus (Brian Blessed), through the cunning and terror of Tiberius (George Baker) and the madness of Caligula (John Hurt) to the reign of Claudius himself (Derek Jacobi) and his licentious wife Messalina. It was an immensely popular BBC serial and 25 years later Brian Blessed said, "I just think it's the best series ever... for the whole standard by everybody and the teamwork, it's on its own. It's as near perfection as you can get." He went on to add, "It was like a sort of Roman Coronation Street or Eastenders.... and yet the most appalling things happened, like murders and everything. The public really took it to its heart and relished it." There are thirteen 50-minute episodes and in addition a retrospective documentary made 25 years later and a film, The Epic That Never Was, narrated by Dirk Bogarde, which tells the story of an earlier, unsuccessful attempt to film the novels with Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and Flora Robson among the cast, an early victim of the "Claudius Curse"! Admission: $12.00 the series / $3.00 per session [free to film members] MASSENET: MANON Friday 23 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. "David McVicar's production takes an unusually harsh view of the story, too often softened by Rococo prettiness. Here, everything and everybody is for sale, and behind the fa ade of 18th-century Paris lurks a world of corruption, disease and perversions. It is thrilling, sometimes even slightly shocking, and throughout the direction of the cast is faultless: every scene bears re-viewing for the amount of detail and dramatic energy that is released. "It is unlikely that Natalie Dessay will ever give a greater performance than this. Villaz n makes a passionate hero. The choreography reaches its heights in the elaborate hunting ballet.. I cannot imagine that we will see another Manon to equal this for a long time: highly recommended" [Gramophone, April 2008]. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] +++++++ Scottish Country Dancing Group every Thursday evening at 7.30pm at the Lions Club of Byo next door to ZRP Hillside.

It was a demanding job, with lots to learn, but the person who made things pleasant and fun was Mrs. Niles Doolan, a wonderful Irish lady with a soft Limerick accent. She always had endless patience, and soothed difficult patches with her lovely sense of humour. I think everyone in Bulawayo knew her as she was a font of information in the days before the Internet. Her husband Frank worked on The Rhodesian Railways, and when they retired they moved down to Cape Town. I was fortunate enough to visit them in Sun Valley and reminisce about the old days, and we kept in touch by email. It is my sad duty to tell you that dear Niles has passed away after a mercifully short illness on 3rd. August, and a moving service was held in her memory. Her grandchildren each delivered eulogies, and her daughter Maire read The Lake Isle of Innisfree by W.B. Yeats in remembrance of her Irish background. The flowers in the church were all the family's favourite flowers.

His family are unable to pay for this operation which is quoted at $9,910 of which medical aid will cover $4510 leaving a shortfall of $5,400. Bulawayo Help Network alone is unable to raise this amount for one person and is appealing to your overstretched generosity for contributions. Mr J is in great pain and often feels he can no longer go on. Can you help us, help him? For further information or to make contributions, please call BULAWAYO HELP NETWORK 130A Jason Moyo Street, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe or Tel: +263 - 9 - 67085 or email byohelp@netconnect.co.zw.

South Africa has a risk of introduction of the disease as the mosquito vector exists in the country. The South African Department of Health would like to inform you of the amendments to the yellow fever vaccination policy for travelers coming from yellow fever risk countries. Travelers from countries with low risk of yellow fever transmission still pose a risk of yellow fever importation into South Africa. Therefore South Africa has reviewed its yellow fever vaccination requirements policy, which will be effective from 1 October 2011. As of 1 October 2011, all travelers from and to Zambia, in addition to the list of yellow fever risk countries below, will be required to show proof of yellow fever vaccination (unless in possession of a valid waiver certificate). South Africa requires a valid yellow fever certificate from all citizens and non-citizens over one year of age: traveling from a yellow fever risk country (including low risk countries such as Sao Tome and Principe, Somalia, United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia); or having been in transit through a yellow fever risk country. The above requirements are in line with the International Health Regulations (IHR, 2005). The IHR requires countries at risk of yellow fever introduction to employ the following measures: 1.1 To obtain vaccination certificates from individuals traveling from areas determined by the WHO to be at risk of yellow fever transmission. As a result, South Africa will exercise the following measures for all travelers from yellow fever risk countries, who are unable to produce a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate at the port of entry: Page 1 of 2 National Department of Health Prevention of yellow fever in South Africa refuse entry; or quarantine until their certificate becomes valid, for a period of not more than six days; or those with an exemption certificate due to medical reasons will be : - allowed entry - required to report any fever or other symptoms to the health authorities - be placed under surveillance. NB: Definition of a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate - vaccination should be approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and administered at a Yellow fever-approved vaccination centres at least 10 days before departure to South Africa. The vaccine offers protection 10 days after administration. If vaccination is administered less than 10 days before departure, the above-mentioned measures will be applied. 1.2 Disinfection of aircraft, ships, tyre casing consignments and other modes of transportation coming from yellow fever risk countries.
