Here's some interesting news about the hotels and restaurants in Zimbabwe - it's old news but worth reading again for nostalgia. The once much-loved George Hotel Avondale closed January 4: sold to Multi-Choice as new HQ. A planned valedictory meal in the grotesquely named Freckle and Phart pub, or depressing dining room, reminiscent of railway architecture circa 1946, aborted as it was semi-gutted well before closure. Previously Charleston Hotel (ex-KamfinsaPark) also shut: "Due to ever rising rent hikes," I heard. Both places underwent major changes in clientele, facilities, ambience, even cleanliness but are fondly remembered for special functions. The George, especially, for wedding receptions. Since independence Harare lost the popular Windsor Hotel on Baker (Nelson Mandela) Avenue. It housed the Colony, where Edwin and Rachelle played twin pianos to international cabaret standards to discerning diners in formal finery. Lincoln Room had fantastic value for money food in luxurious surroundings. It closed late November 1980 when set three-course lunch, featuring baron of beef rolled to the table, carved to order was $1,50. 1890 was the cocktail bar. Popular with lunchtime philanderers, it shut 2:30 sharp, when top-up topers moved next door to Branch Office (ex-Blue Room) opening 10:30 to 10:30. Some heroic boozers returned to 1890, which shut at 11:30. Egg and I was in the same building, as was Lion's Den: The day the Windsor closed (earlier than announced to avoid vandalism seen at Meikles' Long Bar by "souvenir hunters") beer was 38c; bar lunch 35c. Opposite was a complex housing the raucous Round Bar and Le Coq d'Or where little French was heard. The building was owned by an American religious sect which left the country at UDI. Premises were banned from selling drink or tobacco; dancing was proscribed. For years they thought it was a library! Picture the indignation when they found the country's most bawdy, boozy, bare-knuckled, bra-less nightlife had flourished there for years! Playboy was nearby, as was La Boheme: nothing to do with opera, it offered strippers of often venerable years and was a target of an inexpertly thrown grenade during the troubled times. Three major Chinese outlets closed after 1980: Golden Dragon, a hang out of pre-independence Ministry of Information people, the bar a favorite with international journalists; Bamboo Inn with dark, dingy but somehow appealing pub run by an Irishman called (of course) Paddy. Mandarin had no bar, but hacks and hackettes gathered round a service hatch as if in a Fleet Street club. Down the way Pink Panther! Run by two aged sisters from the Caucasus, they served delicious kebabs at the original site, later Linquenda House. One also owned the Georgian Grill. PP later became Alfredo's then Front Page: restaurants with lively pubs, gregarious regulars, liberal hours. The "Page" owners: a blonde and a brunette belonged in international glamour magazines. Pino's in Union (Kwame Nkrumah) was arguably the best seafood joint around, but gained notoriety when someone complained and the ebullient eponymous Portuguese proprietor whacked him over the pip with a flamb pan. Bombay Duck between Jameson (Samora Machel) and Central was run, improbably, by ex-BSAP troopie, Tug Wilson; it served iridescent curries all hours for next to nothing. At Msasa, Red Lantern, run by S-W African (Namibian) Germans specialized in eisbein, knackwurst and bratwurst I can still smell and taste. Beverly Rocks was an hospitable hostel : good food, great music, lovely gardens (now a government training centre.) Going east, the old Jamaica Inn was run by various characters including an ex-Federal hangman and Commonwealth boxing gold medal winner. Good stop there on the way to or from Three Monkeys Marandellas (Marondera) for lunch. (Now a religious institute.) Glen Lorne's local was the festive Highlands Park , run by ex-Kenya big game hunter Toby Royston. Great dinner dances, lovely Sunday lunches, cream teas in the garden. Spaniards, Marlborough (ex-Quorn) served incredibly good food, except soup: always watery, insipid and costly. There's not been another Harare establishment like Sandro's. Starting as a private club, it retained clubland ambience till the end. Five star cooking or basic bar lunch, often polished cabarets; journalists and businessmen rubbed shoulders with cabinet ministers. Sardinian Sandro also ran Eros: fine Mediterranean food and friendly bar and Sandrock's, for back-packers. Close by was Taco's with usually picaresque punters pinting. BB House has recently been rebuilt; Ramambo Lodge was there. Never my favorite, tourists liked its rustic furniture, Shona sculpture, marimbas, game meat. I preferred a previous operation: Flanagan's with foot-stomping trad jazz Saturday lunches (Bob Gilmour and the Bobcats.) Fish and chips, tripe and onions, steak egg and chips, curry and rice 75c. Covered Waggon/Homestead served scrumptious salads: a favourite with females, when ladies who lunch lunched in town! I played domin s in The Chalet as a suitcase bomb exploded at Woolworths nearby with many fatalities (the mother of my children was due to be there.) Regulars helped survivors. (Barbours was the real target.) On more pacific Chalet days, great juicy joints were trundled in at lunch; patrons sliced their own for 50c with pickles, mustard, horseradish, chips and rolls. The city's best pies were served in a motor sport-theme cocktail bar. There was a civilized snooker room (not a crummy pool hall.) It became a motor parts store, then a Spar. Tipperary's on Fife Avenue, came and went unlamented, as did the adjoining Khyber Pass; Cassidy's, Glenara, had fleeting popularity; now a car showroom. Park Lane (now GMB HQ) the Kiya Nyama steakhouse there unrivaled outside Bulawayo . Howff, Chisipite, a Scottish theme pub/restaurant with super sing-along nights, memorably good prawn specials. In the same suburb, Sports Bar enjoyed a brief dedicated following, earning no stars from moi, unmourned when shutters fell as Innscor concentrated on "core" business. Clovagalix, Fife, caught fire once too often, becoming Cafe Med, Borrowdale. Caruso's 4th/Samora was a great Chips d'Oliviera club-cum Portuguese pub/restaurant. As Vila Peri it moved to 3rd/Baines where the usually grubby Pointe is now. Next door was Fat Mama's, previously Spago's. Now Mama Mia's it thrives at Newlands. The Cellar, Marimba Park was tops with journos and the printing trade, serving wonderful whisky prawns, real rosti; upstairs bar often seemed the centre of the universe. Kamfinsa's Bizarre Bar (later IT, previously Buster's, The Cockpit, etc) was hugely popular with yuppies, briefly with buppies; once a license to print money. New owners cut corners. Now it's a swimming pool sundries shop. Meikles closed Mirabelle, The Causerie, Flagstaff and Captain's Cabin; Bagatelle, there, and La Chandelle, The Sheraton's fine French restaurant no longer routinely open; Aviator's Arms is shut to non-residents. Monomotapa lost 1001 Horsemen and Bali Hai, but gained La Francais from Avondale. When everywhere else closed, you could get ABFs at Al's Place The Kopje. Probably unlicensed: whether you ordered whisky, brandy or rum it came from one bottle; gin, cane, vodka, white rum another. High Chaparral (ex-Nick's Bar), Avondale opened all hours : a good greasy spoon where coffee and steak rolls helped avoid the worst "mornings after." Especially after Le Matelot (ex-Lighthouse), opposite where I squirmed as West End stage stars died a death. Aphrodite, Strathaven, was a superb Greek restaurant; Demi's near State Lotteries closed due to commuter omnibuses' anarchistic parking. Up the street, Copacabana served wonderful Portuguese food, having previously been a great Chinese (White Lotus?) Himalaya , nearby, did colossal searing noon curries at minimal cost but was avoided after dusk. Variously Rosedale's, Rose Bowl and Rose & Crown the Hatfield outlet was a superb Sunday lunch venue with live entertainment. One of the best seafood platters I've eaten here was at Kentucky, also Hatfield. On a positive note there's a flurry of recently opened ethnic restaurants, tea, coffee shops and lodges; Jameson's Tiffany's re-opened after many years. Sadly, few seem to have the character or characters in which the closed establishments were so rich, but time will tell.

The recent Olympic Qualifying Tournament at The Khumalo Stadium was a resounding success and a real labour of love given by the wonderful people of Bulawayo. It was a triumph and a miracle because so much was achieved in such an incredibly short time. In June when I first visited the Stadium, I was shocked at the devastation and neglect of what was once a thriving hockey venue. The growth around the two fields could easily be compared to savannah grasslands, small trees were growing out of the drains on the edges of the fields and even from toilets, there were few shrubs or colourful plants and, worst of all, the turf itself was a sad sight of total wreckage and unbelievable negligence. It was full of holes, strips had been removed and it was dried out and unfit for any type of game. What a complete disaster it was! As for the buildings- they were a horror story and the time limit of two months to renovate them seemed a glaring impossibility. Massive holes in the roof, scores of broken window panes, filthy rubbish (consisting of broken bottles, old tins, torn papers, junk of every kind) was piled high - and I mean high - in the various rooms of the stadium which had formerly been used for tea and coffee sessions, first aid and even for enjoyment of the odd toots, and threadbare disgustingly dirty carpets told their own story. The kiosk was a nightmare, The almost non existent roof and the ant eaten beams would have to be replaced. The remaining pieces of paint on the walls were crumbling and it was a dirty disaster. How would this stadium ever be ready for those matches just two months away? Well, it was! but not without the sheer guts and determination of many, many people. Private cars and trucks loaded with bins and huge packets for rubbish and wheelbarrows and brooms and spades and workers - you name it, it was there! and they worked and worked and worked in every free moment and for no remuneration. They swept and dug and cleaned and painted and planted - oh, my goodness, what an eye opener! The turf arrived from the Netherlands and, once the fields had been patched and flattened and the heavy old turf had been carted away, the new one was installed - a magnificent piece of work on both fields. The Stadium building was repaired - in fact the workers were still hammering at the roof on the weekend before the Opening Ceremony, flowers and shrubs were planted, rubbish removed in sacks and bags and about 56 tons were taken away in lorries - and the dirty kiosk had what was left of its roof lifted off by a crane and new beams installed. The appearance of the "new" stadium was a miracle, The score board, lighting for evening games and flag posts for participating countries were all repaired in the two months. Mention must be made of the Development Hockey that gave so much pleasure to so many youngsters. Again this exercise was a labour of love. Time was given to make lists of potentially talented hockey playing school children. They met at the Stadium and were coached on the new turf without needing to make any payment by a group of players who provided hockey sticks, balls and other necessary equipment collected from families and friends, It was heart rending to witness the appreciation and enthusiasm of the little people as they took to the turf and enjoyed the applause given for any successful hit into the goal!On one day I opened my car door to travel to the Stadium to find four little boys waiting for me in the back of the car- they were terrified I would leave them and had been sitting there for over two hours- just for a lift! It was also uplifting to experience the Bulawayo public from all walks of life cramming the Stadium seats to watch the games - fortunately lawn had been planted round the fields because the overflow crowded that area. There can be only praise for an achievement thought to be impossible AND Congratulations must go to Gavin Stephens and to James Watson and their enthusiastic and hard working helpers. Well done, all of you, I know I am only one of a multitude proud to be part of Bulawayo. You were stars and an example of determination to us all. Let'S hope that the future Management at the Hockey Stadium remains in capable hands and that it continues to be a success story.

I have been searching on Google and came across your homepage (http://www.morningmirror.africanherd.com/articles/bulawayo-ballet.htm), in which you mention a certain Harry Gerber from Gerbers music store. My parents also lived in Harare back in the early 1980's and always mentioned to me, that a they had gotten to know a farmer called Gerber in Bulawayo when they were in Zimbabwe. How i thought there might be a connection between the Harry Gerber at that Music store and that Farmer Gerber. Do you still think, it would be possible to find out a contact number / Address of a Gerber in Bulawayo, so i could maybe get into contact with him/her/them. Michael Gerber eazyfc@hotmail.com +++++++ I write to ask your advice. I am doing some research and need to trace a guy from Bulawayo who served in the Second World War. His name was John Cornwall, a sergeant and he served in the South African Artillery. He had an interesting war and was caught having parachuted into Yugoslavia, taken eventually to Colditz. Can you ask around to see if there are any Cornwalls still in Bulawayo? Or any veterans groups like the local Bulawayo branch of MOTH that might have knowledge of him. He survived the war but will be long dead now, (Date of birth 1/5/1905). It would be great to find any surviving descendants.
