Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 688 - 31/5/2016

RESPECT, SEE, SAVE. ONE BY ONE

We took a trip to a sanctuary called 'Wild is Life' in Harare, Zimbabwe.

The Family had recently toured the Masai Mara in Kenya, so we were a little concerned that a City Sanctuary might be a little lame after the Mara !! Well we were most pleasantly surprised.

'Wild is Life' is a charming mix of brilliant management, exotic animals, and absolute pampering. You can sip on afternoon tea while you watch the animals interact with each other, and when the evening falls, champagne and delicious canapes are served in elegant, classy surroundings overlooking the lion, elephants, giraffe, kudu, wildebeest and many more.

Wild is Life offers guests a magical afternoon experience which includes a personal and guided tour of the Animal Sanctuary. Guests are afforded the opportunity to engage with various animal individuals who have been orphaned or homed at the Wild is Life Trust.

The Afternoon Tea Encounter is accessorized with a decadent "tea" of freshly home made scones and cakes. You may well be lucky enough to share your tea with Sweetpea the kudu, or Richie the vervet monkey! The afternoon is topped off with Champagne and Canapes at sunset. The plains game graze close by, the fire blazes, the lions roar contentedly and all is as it should be ... in Africa.

One of the highlights of the tour was an introduction to Marimba the Pangolin otherwise known as a Scaly Anteater. He and his engaging 'Minder' have the most appealing bond, and this rare endangered mammal is closely protected by the Wild Is Life Sanctuary.

'It is a work in progress. It is an ongoing evolution, happening with the passing of time and maturity of spirit. We have become a fusion of humanity and wildlife.
We are not just a Wildlife Sanctuary .. we are so much more! Our philosophy of one by one is reflected in the care and welfare of our animals, as well as the guests who choose to visit us! All are treated as individuals.

Wild is Life is a haven of comfort and seclusion, calm and dignity. We offer an authentic experience of close up and personal connections with our animals, many of whom are rescued, orphaned or specially protected. We choose to offer these experiences with integrity and with a responsibility towards the welfare of both the guests and our wild residents.'

Pumping Legs for Water is a two day, 100 km sponsored mountain bike ride, within the Main Camp area of Hwange National Park. The event is organized by the Matabeleland branch of Wildlife & Environment Zimbabwe (WEZ) and profits from the ride go towards supporting WEZ projects, including the Hwange Game Water Supply Programme, which carries out repairs and maintenance to pumped pans within the Park, providing life-giving water to the animals there.

This year the ride will take place on Friday 22 & Saturday 23 July, with a briefing at Main Camp on the evening of Thursday 21 July, which all participants are expected to attend. The entry fee is $150. This is not a race. For safety reasons cyclists will be riding in groups of 20 to 25 riders. Each group will be accompanied by a leading and trailing vehicle with armed escorts. Cyclists must remain within these groups at all times.

TREASURE PLEASURES AT ZONKIZIZWE

'Bulawayo Help Network is a charity established to assist pensioners in difficulty, mostly through no fault of their own.
We receive many donations which we either pass on to our pensioners or sell through our charity shop.
Amongst these donations have been a number of fur capes over the years. No doubt they belonged to one of our pensioners back in the day when such garments were socially acceptable and considered elegant and fashionable.
Our quandary is that many people would no longer consider supporting such an industry, yet we have these beautiful items in our possession.
What do we do
We do not wish to offend anyone yet we continually need funds to keep our support going at current levels, so have decided to try and sell them.
We hope you understand.

These beautiful capes will be on display and awaiting your confidential bid at our "Treasure Pleasures" stand next to Eskis, Zonkizizwe Shopping Centre this Sat 4 June between 10am - 3pm. '


PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO AND THE ACADEMY

FRENZY
Suspenseful, disturbing, and darkly humorous, Frenzy, with a screenplay by Anthony Shaffer, was Alfred Hitchcock's penultimate film and is often considered among his best. London is terrorised by a vicious killer known as the necktie murderer. Following the brutal slaying of his ex-wife, down-on-his-luck Richard Blaney is suspected by the police of being the killer. He goes on the run, determined to prove his innocence.
'You can never be quite sure when you're going to start a terrifying new descent or take a sudden turn to the left or right. The agony is exquisite.' [New York Times]
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

BERNSTEIN CONDUCTS BRAHMS
Leonard Bernstein conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in Brahms' Second Symphony with Krystian Zimerman as soloist in the massive First Piano Concerto.
'Passionate and probing, these are superb and moving performances of a great composer. A life affirming release in every respect.' [Amazon.com]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

KHARTOUM
Thursday 9 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Khartoum' was released exactly fifty years ago on 9 June 1968.
After an Egyptian army, commanded by British officers, is destroyed in a battle in the Sudan in the 1880s, the British government is in a quandary. It does not want to commit a British military force to a foreign war but they have a commitment to protect the Egyptians in Khartoum. They decide to ask General Charles Gordon [Charlton Heston], something of a folk hero in the Sudan as he had cleared the area of the slave trade, to arrange for the evacuation. Gordon agrees but stays on to protect the people of Khartoum, who are under threat of being conquered by a Muslim army. His Christian faith and military command are challenged by Mohammed Ahmed el Mahdi (Laurence Olivier], 'the Expected One'.
'With an Oscar-Nominated script mounted on a grand scale, "Khartoum" is an epic entertainment, a fine and powerful motion picture.' [IMDb review]
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

VERDI: IL TROVATORE
Friday 10 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Il Trovatore was always one of Herbert von Karajan's favourite operas. He conducted it at the very beginning of his career and 'his' Trovatore really made its mark in the legendary performances given at the Salzburg Festival in 1962, which formed the basis for this successful revival in Vienna.
'The orchestral playing is absolutely superb - positively incendiary in places. Raina Kabaivanska is a most affecting Leonora, Cappucilli is rock-solid as the Count di Luna and Fiorenza Cossotto is a formidable Azucena. Domingo is a consummate musician and actor who delivers a tremendous performance. [International Record Review]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

19) Seeking Friends

Hi Dolores Van Zyl,
I am hoping to contact you again. I met you back in the late sixties when
you stayed at the Walsingham CGH in Durban while you were studying nursing.
I hope you or your friends from Walsingham or Bulawayo see this message and its possible for you to forward your contact details maybe by email or whatever means.
My email address is joebanksnavy@yahoo.co.uk
Best Wishes
Joe Banks


It is many a long year and much water under the bridge since I left Bulawayo.

As I get longer in the tooth, I try and remember my youth (as is inevitable to all of those blessed to live our three score years and ten!) although each year it becomes increasingly difficult.

I have lived an immensely full life and have many regrets but would not change a thing, in spite of hindsight!

I grew up in the most amazing, unique place and time in colonial history, free of the burdens of the second world war and before the Chimurenga.

I was incredibly lucky to have loved and lost from the Rio hotel, Hillside, Maleme and many other dams that I no longer remember. The Glass castle, the Skyview drive in theatre, Diana's pool and many others. I will also always remember Bulawayo for two very special loves, although unrequited. One the night before I started my national service!

I left Bulawayo in '64 and spent time away from Rhodesia, however, I continued my love affair with the country, returning four years later and finally giving up on the war In '79.
Foul and fair weather friend some may say but I do not think my record would substantiate that.

Lady luck has fortunately and so far, stayed with me, I have made money, travelled the world. written books, still have interests in Zimbabwe and managed to stay under the radar. So why on earth write this Why on earth is right!

Over the years, I have resisted all temptation to join the 'when we' movement, not out of disrespect but rather as a result of the many things I chose NOT to remember. It is therefore strange that I find myself penning this in the autumn/winter of my life!

There is only one answer, Bulawayo was where I was educated, where I grew up, where, the Heany 500, Heany & Brady barracks, Kumalo racetrack and KG V1 rehab centre were significant places in our lives. Palace, Reps, Eskimo hut, Trade fair showgrounds, Umguza, Windemere and breaking the record from Bulawayo to Vic Falls on the strip roads were, at the time, the only things of any importance!

With love to all of those who remember those years, we are all darn lucky to still be alive!

Peter Jackson
