ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M ++++ 1) Editorial I wanted to grow old in Africa With the sun warming my decrepit bones And my great grandchildren running through my grapevine The heat of the sun turning their skins bronze While they played in the sprinkler like I had done many summers ago Sweet potatoes dug up for tea Mangoes and pawpaws ripening in the sun Cicadas in the trees Nyama in the pot Sitting on the veranda watching dusk creep up on me Cloaked in that velvet warm darkness. Respected for my wisdom Revered for my vision and experience And my son would offer me his arm and my daughter would come for advice And I would smile and tell them how it was when I was young And as the embers burn low In the grate of life I would willingly walk to the end of the path Look over the gate to the the other side And know when I am gone My heart will be buried in the soil Deep in the land where I was born And I would be content to be married to elements that bring new life to the grass And when the wind blows among the kopjes my spirit will wander there once more. If we end where we begin Why am I so far away, trapped between two hemispheres as I walk and wander and toil away my years The dark days are upon us again in the north Bringing with them who knows what Soon the cold will descend and my eyes will grow heavy from the strain of the gloom I will shiver and curse the grey in the sky As my neighbours shut their doors against it I will dream of the burning sun and remember the halcyon days of my youth Where the endless sky stretched forever It was my blue print for life My beginning, everything I knew. Sentimental am I Nostalgic for times passed And a land that exists no more It is true. For those cynics who call me foolish I tell you this You will only miss something once you no longer have it and no one can understand that pain in your heart, That longing, until they know what it means to be displaced So please leave me to my dreams To my memories But most of all to my wish. Yes, I wanted to grow old in Africa, but life had other horizons for me to pursue. Other things for me to do. Cyndi Barker ++++ BULAWAYO WATCHDOG ZESA, Fife Street, Bulawayo Dear Sirs Prepaid Meter I refer to my letter dated 20 June 2016 which was handed to Mr Nyathi on 24 June. I complained about the fact that, not having a prepaid meter, I am paying 50% more per unit. Other than being told that 'I will try to get you a meter' nothing has happened. My letter requested you to calculate and credit me with all the amounts overpaid since the introduction of the prepaids. You are now advised, once I receive a local bank card as your card machines reject my visa card, I shall be paying half the amount reflected on your bills until this anomaly is rectified.

Our Mutual Friend Thursdays 8 & 15 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. At the peak of his powers, Charles Dickens composed this shocking tale of murder, greed, and obsession centred on the courtship of two ravishingly beautiful, but starkly different women. Ever fond of ironic symbols, Dickens creates a world where money is made from mammoth dust heaps and from corpses fished from the Thames. "A sumptuous adaptation of Charles Dickens' last novel, easily establishes itself among the very best. Visually stunning, no other series more accurately captures the feeling of Dickens' England, from the waterfront sets to the huge ensemble cast of oddballs, scum, slime and heroes." [IMDb] "At close to six hours, this version of Our Mutual Friend is a long production, but not a moment too long. A mystery, a love story, a critique of the pursuit of wealth and status, this is perhaps the best adaptation of Dickens ever to be committed to film." [Simon Leake, Amazon.com] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. Humperdinck: Hansel and Gretel Friday 9 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. The idea for 'Hansel and Gretel' was proposed to Humperdinck by his sister, who approached him about writing music for songs that she had written for her children for Christmas. These eventually resulted in an opera that has been associated with Christmas since its earliest performances - the first was on 23 December 1893. "No singers today play Hansel and Gretel more convincingly or sing them more enchantingly than Frederica von Stade and Judith Blegen." [New York Daily News] "Delightful production with two great leads who actually convince that they are children. Rosalind Elias is excellent as the witch. This is very much a chocolate box production - which is probably what the composer intended!" [Amazon] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00): Blessing Chimanga in Concert (10 December) Saturday 10 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m. This concert is promoted in association with the Alliance Francaise . Blessing 'Bled' Chimanga is a talented musician who plays drums, marimba and other percussion. He is also a music director, arranger, songwriter and singer and will be presenting this concert in his role as ambassador of the Luyanda Uthando Childrens' Foundation. Two-thirds of the proceeds will go to the Foundation whose aim is to help the less privileged, homeless and orphan children across Zimbabwe. Admission: $3.00 The Music Cafe will be open before and after the concert. Our Mutual Friend - Part 2 Thursday 15 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Part 2 of 'perhaps the best adaptation of Dickens ever to be committed to film'! Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. Cinderella Friday 16 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Birmingham Royal Ballet presents a stunning new Cinderella, returning to the essence of the 17th-century original. Elisha Willis's forlorn and palely loitering Cinders is brutally treated by her two bullying stepsisters in their mouldering kitchen, encouraged by their wicked witch of a mother, the wonderfully Cruella De Vil-like Marion Tait. The show is made truly heart-warming through the vision of Cinderella's suffering being transformed into deserved joy as she meets her Prince and lives happily ever after. 'This Cinderella is a theatrical banquet for the eyes.' [Daily Telegraph] 'In ballet terms this is a very good Cinderella; as theatre, it is sensational!' [Daily Express] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) A Carol Service Saturday 17 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. A traditional service of lessons and carols with Wings Over Jordan which will last about an hour.

The public is invited to watch the aircraft from the JMN Nkomo viewing platform, from 8.30a.m to 11 a.m. The pilots will no doubt be interested to learn about the Silver Queen a Vickers Vimy aircraft which was attempting the first trans-Africa flight between the UK and South Africa in March 1920 which landed in what is today Ascot race course. Unfortunately when the plane took off it was carrying too much fuel and crash landed, with no fatalities.
