Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL The Trash Miners The word 'Ngozi' in Shona means 'Curse' and the families living at Ngozi Mine outside Bulawayo are indeed cursed. 'Desperate, miserable, hopeless, horrific, harrowing'... there are not enough descriptive words to encompass this morass of destitute humans in their living conditions. Ngozi Mine is the name for the landfill slum that has grown around the Bulawayo City Council Rubbish Dump, the final destination to the countless tonnes of waste the city produces every day. Some of the dwellers are believed to be the remnants of 'Operation Murambatsvina' the infamous government purging operation that began in 2005. On the other hand, some of the inhabitants find they can make a good living foraging amongst the City's filth. There are over 250 families living in shanties made from plastic - the spoils from the rubbish dump, and wood from the surrounding trees. Some are lucky enough to have found a few prized sheets of cardboard or possibly a tin sheet. There is no potable water within 10 kilometres and residents draw water for bathing and drinking from the disgusting, polluted water in the nearby quarries. Thank you God, there are people in Bulawayo who have come to the aid of this tragic community. Mustard Seed Communities, Nozizwe Mother of Nations Trust and Bethlehem Covenant amongst others. There is a church on site which provides spiritual and educational needs for the community. Seven days a week around 300 children are provided with a good healthy lunch. Water tanks have been commissioned for the residents, and I am looking forward to joining 'The Book Club' at the school!! Children are resilient little creatures thank goodness, we watched in anticipation as tiny tots sat on old car parts and slid down the edges of the quarry.... I have some photos that will break your heart....if you would like to see them, please go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/393903553997308 The community is looking for food, clothing, shoes and children's books. If you would care to donate please contact the incredible Iris Mhlanga https://www.facebook.com/nozizwemotherofnations/ 'There But For The Grace of God Go I' ++++ Watchdog ++++ 2) Notices and Events ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO Tel: 60684 / 67195 E-mail: mailto:zamfriends@gatorzw.co.uk The Academy office is open 8.30 - 4.30 Monday to Friday and full details of lessons, fees, etc. can be obtained from there: Tel: 60684 / 67197 - E-mail: zam@gatorzw.co.uk The Note is open throughout the week and remains open until the interval on Thursdays and Fridays.

THURSDAY 14 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. LINE OF DUTY: SERIES 3 'Line of Duty' concludes with an 'unrelentingly tense finale' and Series 4 will follow early in the New Year. - This was certainly the finest hour and a half of TV I've ever seen, and a perfect end to one of TV's most important shows. [Cult Box] - It was bombshell after bombshell and the final 15 or so minutes took the drama to new places. [Express] Admission: US$2.00 / US$5.00 for the series [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 15 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. BALLET TRIPLE BILL: LE JEUNE HOMME ET LA MORT - CARMEN - ELITE SYNCOPATIONS 'Carmen' was created by Roland Petit and represents a striking mixture of classical ballet, Spanish-style movement, mime, and freshly invented dramatic dance action. It opened 'scandalously and brilliantly, with the fabulously sexy Zizi Jeanmaire in the title role' in London and has been regularly performed ever since. In 1974, Kenneth MacMillan set out to create 'something short and light and funny', as he told the New Yorker magazine at the time. The resulting 35-minute ballet, 'Elite Syncopations', is regarded as one of the most uplifting pieces in the Royal Ballet repertory. With music by Scott Joplin and other ragtime composers, the ballet is for twelve solo dancers and is described as having 'an up-beat, hip swinging aura of spontaneity, with easy-going rhythms. - 'Le Jeune Homme et la Mort' boasts virtuoso performances from Nicolas Le Riche and Marie-Agnes Gilot. [Art Times] - 'Elite Syncopations' is one of the most delightful ballet's I've seen. There are a couple of spots that will make you laugh out loud, and others that will make you gasp. [Seeing Dance] TUESDAY 19 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. THEO BROSS (CELLO) AND MAXIME ZECCHINI (PIANO) A live concert - not to be missed! Theo needs no introduction and Maxime Zecchini partnered him around five years ago and made a very favourable impression! The programme is very generous and includes music by Bach, Debussy, Elgar, Faure, Kreisler, Piazolla, Saint-Saens and Schumann as well as arrangements of French chansons and South African songs. Admission: US$5.00 [free to Red Carpet Members] - booking at the Academy. THURSDAY 21 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. JAILHOUSE ROCK An evening of nostalgia with a film first released as long ago as 1957! A young man, Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), is convicted of manslaughter after being drawn into a bar fight while trying to defend a woman. In prison, Everett finds salvation when his cellmate, a country singer named Hunk Houghton, hears him sing and pegs him as a future star. Once released, Everett gets a job in a night club and meets Peggy Van Alden, a young woman who works for a record company and who, like Houghton, also sees talent in Everett. - Even if the plot is thin, the characterizations are solid, and the music is some of Elvis's best. [Movie Metropolis] - Presley's best film captures the legend in all his nostril-flaring, pre-army glory. [Maltin's Movie Guide] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 22 OCTOBER AT 6.00 P.M. TOWARD THE UNKNOWN REGION Sir Malcolm Arnold was born a hundred years ago on 21 October 1921. 'Toward the Unknown Region: Malcolm Arnold - a Story of Survival' is a documentary celebrating one of Britain's most underestimated and yet most popular composers, who wrote scores to altogether 132 films including 'Whistle Down the Wind', 'Hobson's Choice' and the Oscar-winning 'Bridge Over the River Kwai'. He also composed nine, symphonies, more than twenty concertos, seven ballets, operas and much else, over 500 works in all. The film features interviews with family and friends including Richard Attenborough, John Amis, Susanna Walton and Hayley Mills and there are many extracts from his works. Nor does the film shirk the darker side of Arnold's life full of complications caused by heavy drinking and mental illness. - Tony Palmer has created a film that I have no doubt will attain legendary status not only amongst Arnold fans but in the wider musical world also. You simply cannot afford to miss it. [MusicWeb International] - The film captures the brilliance, joy, sadness and bitterness of his life and the extraordinary range of his work very well.
