ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M +++++ Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. - Martin Luther King, Jr. - +++++++ Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that. - Norman Vincent Peale - ++++++ Editorial 'A Life of Quiet Desperation' 'The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation' said Henry Thoreau and this is indeed true of Africa. We were in Johannesburg recently where on a Thursday the trash trucks visit our area, and my heart breaks for my countrymen. There are many different levels of desperation.... starting with the faceless shadows who search the weekly trash bins. Men in rags, women with wee babes wrapped in tattered towels, dragging their pitiful treasures behind them in pathetic plastic bags. The luckier ones manage to obtain a giant one-ton polypropylene sack, affixed to a makeshift trolley. Herein are carefully stored and scavenged, plastic bottles, bags and baubles worthy of recycling, a few cents here, a few rands there and also the possibility of finding a tasty snack discarded by a wealthy suburban Johannesburger. I spoke at length with some of them, and nine out of ten were Zimbabwean, refugees from their own country and driven to this desperate state, the lowest of the low in a life too awful to even contemplate. They were not thieves or gangsters, just wretched starving men who had lost all hope of finding decent employment in an unfriendly land where unemployment is rampant, accommodation is at a premium and xenophobia is a way of life. All of them eking out a hopeless existence, tramping the suburbs daily in their deplorably inadequate sandals manufactured from old rubber tyres and bits of wire. Moving up a notch in the desperation stakes, I encounter the roadside vendors - that faceless plethora of folk who distribute pamphlets and sell beaded articles, mobile phone chargers, newspapers and license disc holders. Gutsy, indefatigable, brazen and annoying, they swarm like bees at each intersection, abjectly, despairingly flogging their miserable wares. Here too - the majority are Zimbabweans, attuned to every nuance and mood of the thousands of motorists who toss them off in utter disgust and loathing. 'Don't make eye contact' is the general rule of thumb, 'or you will never get rid of them'. 'Don't even open your window ' they say, 'they will rob you, rape you, murder you' But I make a point of greeting them in the vernacular and they are always grateful for even the smallest kindness from their precious 'home'. I then passed Ninth Avenue and Wilson Street, where it is well known that Zimbabwean workers wait patiently for odd jobs as builders, painters, garden workers, welders and plumbers. With the word that spreads quickly via the garden grapevine, the more affluent folk have come to learn that honest and willing Zimbabweans, wait on these corners for lowly paid odd jobs. Here the mood is more upbeat, the workers are better dressed, the wait is still agonizing and interminable, but they are a patient people and willing to at least work at whatever transpires, rather than turn to a life of crime. A thumbs up from a makiwa in a car with a Zimbo registration is small comfort but always brings a multitude of enthusiastic greetings and waves!! One day....one day.... I pray to God, that things will be different for all those benighted wonderful folk living out their lives so far from home in 'Quiet Desperation.' ++++ 2) EVENTS Girls' College presents 'Rocking for Rhinos'.

There are no set pieces and every choir will sing two items, one in English, the other a vernacular language. The marimba competition will run simultaneously in the grounds.

Admission free A NIGHT AT THE OPERA Thursday 25 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Harpo Marx died fifty years ago on 28 September 1964 and 'A Night at the Opera' seems a suitable way to remember him. Universally considered to be one of the Marx Brothers' best films, it features some of their most famous routines - the crowded shipboard stateroom, the contract-tearing between Groucho and Chico, the rearranged furniture and bed-switching sequence to elude a private detective, the operatic finale (a lavish production number) with Harpo swinging Tarzan ape-like on stage fly-ropes in tune to Verdi's music - and sprinkled throughout, Groucho's zippy one-line insults and flirtations with his perennial nemesis, Margaret Dumont. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ROCKING FOR RHINOS Friday 26 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m. [N.B. change of starting time - 6.00 P.M.] This concert featuring school choirs and music groups is a fund-raiser for the Matobo Rhino Protection Initiative Trust and is organised by Girls' College in partnership with the Academy. ++++++++ HAMLET Thursday 2 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. 'Hamlet' is perhaps the most famous of Shakespeare's plays and is certainly the most filmed of them all. This is the 1990 version directed by Franco Zeffirelli with Mel Gibson as Hamlet. The cast includes three actors - Paul Scofield, Alan Bates and Ian Holm - who had themselves played Hamlet on stage or in film as well as two more - Stephen Dillane and Michael Maloney - who went on to play the role onstage, and also features Glenn Close, Helena Bonham Carter and Pete Postlethwaite. 'Not only does Mel Gibson do a fantastic job of balancing the pathos and the bile, but he handles the language incredibly well . It doesn't hurt that he has a flawless supporting cast. Helena Bonham Carter may have been, looking back, just a bit too much of a withering flower, but I liked the choice. What can be said about Glenn Close except that she's a walking masterpiece Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ($6.00) GLUCK: IPHIGENIE EN TAURIDE Friday 3 October in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Diana has banished Iphigenia to Tauris where, as her high priestess, she is instructed to sacrifice every stranger who arrives in the country to the goddess.

He was 75. Bloch, who was a chartered accountant by profession, died at his Kumalo home on Saturday evening. According to his son Mark, the renowned economist and regular Zimbabwe Independent newspaper columnist died peacefully at around 7:30pm. 'We are all very saddened by the passing away of my father. He passed away after a prolonged illness,' he said. 'I was on his bedside when he passed away at home. He will be really missed by many in the country. 'He obviously was very grateful of the support and kindness which was shown to him. 'It's probably the end of an era in the passing on of Bloch. Hopefully he left a legacy to all those who worked and respected each other, so that others can make a difference. We are all really going to miss him.' Mark said burial arrangements were still being finalised and it should be either tomorrow or Wednesday. Bloch had been unwell for a long time and he was hospitalised in September last year before undergoing an operation for an undisclosed ailment. This forced him to miss some of his private and public engagements, including penning his weekly column. Bulawayo mayor Martin Moyo said the city and Zimbabwe as a whole had lost a huge asset. 'Bloch was a very prominent intellectual who would advise on what to do. He was an asset to council, an asset to Bulawayo and Zimbabwe as a whole,' he said. 'His death is shocking in a way. He had a sharp mind and is really going to be missed by Bulawayo, particularly the business community.' Former Education minister David Coltart said Bloch's death was a loss to the whole nation. 'He was a beacon of moderation and sense; a very sensible, balanced, fair and bold man,' he said. 'He would speak up steadily and in a balanced way and could compliment other people. 'He didn't criticise other people, but rather their policies. To that extent, he was non-partisan and was a person you would trust as he had no political interests. 'He was a man of integrity, humble and exemplary. He lived a modest and truthful life. He had one wife and drove a modest vehicle.' His wife of 50 years, Baileh, died three years ago after she suffered a heart attack while having lunch. Bloch became synonymous with the National High Schools Quiz that aired on local television from the late 1980s into the 1990s. The programme generated a lot of interest among viewers and inspired learners and parents. It gave both parents and learners an idea of which school was good in sciences, arts, humanities or commercials. Dr Bloch is survived by three sons, a daughter and several grandchildren. ++++++ Eric Bloch Doctor Eric Bloch passed away in Bulawayo on 20 September 2014. He was an exceptional man in all things, a true patriot and a fine gentleman. Eric will be sorely missed by the entire Bulawayo Community. Deepest sympathy to David, Mark and Ruth. The funeral service for the late Dr Eric Bloch will be held at The Jewish Cemetery, Donovan Street North End Bulawayo on Wednesday 24th September at 10am. ++++++ Ulwazi Institute Board of Trustees, extend their deepest condolences to the Bloch family on the passing of their Father and Grandfather. Ulwazi Institute has lost a Chairman who will be remembered with great affection and respect. +++++++ GIRLS' COLLEGE DR.

Although it is difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. The Chairman of the Board of Governors of Girls' College, the Board, the Principal and the rest of the Girls' College Family extend their deepest sympathy to his children Mark, Barry, Raphael and Ruth for their loss.

Ziyambi told Senators that the training would be jointly conducted by the Home Affairs ministry in collaboration with the Tourism and Hospitality ministry. He condemned the harassment of foreign tourists by traffic cops and said they would undergo training to learn to be friendly. 'What we are doing is that we are working with the Tourism and Hospitality Industry ministry to have police officers who are trained to be friendly to our tourists because we value our tourists and we want to give them a warm welcome to Zimbabwe, especially during the festive season,' Ziyambi said. Police are known to mount several roadblocks on roads from the country's border post targeting mostly foreign-registered vehicles. 'We are going to have police officers with bibs indicating that they are tourism police officers. So we are working hand-in-hand with the Tourism and Hospitality Industry ministry so that we promote this friendly environment and we have our police officers policing in a friendly environment and we do not condone any harassment of foreign tourists.' Zimbabwe tourism has turned the corner, as statistics show the number of tourists visiting the country keeps going up. +++++++ When I left Zimbabwe in 2012, I made a promise to myself that somehow we would set up a facility at Beit Bridge for the hundreds of donkeys in the area whose suffering I have witnessed for many years. I wanted it to be named The Jabalani Donkey Project in memory of a very special horse who was the victim of a horrendous cruelty case that I was involved with shortly before retiring. Jabalani is a Zulu word meaning "Rejoice" or "Come to bring Happiness to Everybody" - the name could not be more appropriate. Thanks to many generous folk in several countries, the RSPCA UK, our amazing UK Trustee Cindy Griffith, & last but not least the hard working VAWZ team in Zimbabwe, my dream is becoming a reality. VAWZ UK has recently been able to send VAWZ in Zimbabwe, enough funds to purchase, a 2nd hand caravan, borehole & pump, construction of a water trough, drugs, a humane killer, education pamphlets in Shona, Ndebele & Venda, and finally reflective ear tags to stop the carnage on the roads. I recently judged the Fun Dog Show here at Whiteley Village, all money raised goes to the Welfare Fund which finances many aspects of the village such as the Library, the Care Home, and equipment for the various clubs. My Ring Steward was another ex Zimbabwean Bob Dunkley (there are apparently 56 of us here!), who some might remember was Finance Manager of Agri Foods for several years. My Best in Show was a lovely Rotti X German Shepherd belonging to a local policeman.

Countless other school groups visiting Bulawayo have reaped the benefit of his enthusiasm and expertise. He has also convened and headed the Overseas Education tour on 34 occasions. Mr Sanderson has offered to donate his entire Resource Collection to Education if we are able to provide a permanent resource centre to house this gold mine of educational material. From the centre Mr Sanderson will continue to provide his 'Adventure into Learning' programme whilst also training his eventual successor. Can you help Will you help With generous support through donations, be it in cash or kind, we believe we can accomplish and bring to fruition this project. Any contribution will help and will be acknowledged. Your name will be permanently displayed in the completed building. As a tribute to this educationalist who has so positively touched the lives of so many learners, we CAN do it! Should you be one of those who would like to contribute towards this proposed Resource Centre by way of cash or kind, please be assured that all monies will be receipted and acknowledged. Progress of the development will be available on the Whitestone website.

This follows the successful launch of the event at the same venue in December 2013. Last year's inaugural festival drew an encouraging number of people. It was planned as a celebration of natural and healthy eating. Tasting time: Visitors at the 2013 taste the results of a cooking demonstration. Splendid selection: some of the foods that were on sale at the 2013 Traditional & Organic Food Festival. This year the intention is still the same: to promote the production and consumption of traditional and organic foods which are now internationally regarded as the healthier options. Several groups have collaborated in setting up both editions of the event. These organisations include ZAVSAP (Zimbabwe Adding Value to Sustainable Agriculture Produce), CADS (Cluster Agricultural Development Services), ZOPPA (Zimbabwe Organic Producers and Promoters Association), ZIMSOFF (Zimbabwe Small-Scale Organic Farmers Forum), STEP (Sustainable Tourism Enterprises Promotion), BIZ (Bio-Innovation in Zimbabwe), FoodMattersZimbabwe and representatives from various government ministries, in particular: the Ministries of Health and Child Welfare; Agriculture and Mechanisation, Industry and Commerce; and Women's Affairs, Gender and Community Development. There has also been support from the Food and Nutrition Council as well as the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. The overall aim is to encourage producers and consumers, who some call co-producers because of their potential to influence how production happens, towards food systems that produce, process and market healthy and nutritious foods in a sustainable way. Nearly 40 stallholders will display a variety of food and drink, both for buying and, in some cases, for tasting. Information will be provided as well. There will be stalls run by small-scale organic farmers and food businesses, government ministries, NGOs; among others. Farmers will be coming from different parts of the country. Pop-up restaurants will be selling lunch, snacks and drinks that are in line with the theme of the festival. A diversity of traditional, nutritious foods from Zimbabwe and other countries will be available. Entertainment will be provided by local artistes: Sniper Storm, Edith weUtonga, Vera, BaShupi, Steve Chikotie, Zim Jam Signal and the Kubatana Unite Marimba Ensemble are in the line-up. There will also be cooking and other food processing demonstrations. Carl Joshua Ncube will be showcasing his culinary skills. An exciting programme of activities has been planned for primary school age children in the KidsZone. They will be able to do colouring, mask-making, and create objects from recycled materials. They will also be introduced to traditional dance and the playing of traditional musical instruments. Mindful that habits start early in life, the children will get an opportunity to learn about healthy foods and lifestyles. The SPCA will arrange donkey cart rides and a pen of farm animals; as well as a short talk about them. A reduced entry fee into the National Botanic Gardens has been negotiated for the Traditional & Organic Food Festival. Children under the age of 12 will enter for US$ 0.50 and everyone else will be charged US$1. For more information, please contact Melody Mundawarara, member of organising committee (mundawararam@gmail.com, 0772 941 138). +++++ 10) Wining Dining and Coffee Houses The Chairman, Directors and Management Committee of the Hillside Dams Conservancy wish to let everyone know that the Bean There Cafe have decided not to extend their management contract for the tearoom, which is expiring at the end of September 2014 We thank them wholeheartedly for their commitment to run a family orientated venue that prided itself on great food.
