<span lang="EN-ZW" style="color: blue; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">really it’s as easy as “Harare City
Council bans watering of verges” I for one will phone and report any offenders
who seem to have no compassion for the poor people walking along the roads with
chigubu’s full of water while they water a verge and half the road, it flies in
the face of common decency and consideration for others, and that goes for the
same morons that burn their house hold rubbish after dark inflecting on their
neighbours a night of disrupted sleep as smouldering rubbish wafts
into our homes! </span><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">Grrrrr</span></b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;"></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">THE ACADEMY AND
PE RFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO <br />
<br />
THURSDAYS 14, 21 & 28 SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. POLDARK SERIES 3 - 1<br />
'Poldark' returns! - need we say more ... Well, it s 1794. War and the
revolution in France hang over Britain. In Cornwall Elizabeth is heavily pregnant,
but who is the father Demelza wants answers. George grows his empire with a
view to crushing the Poldarks while Ross and Demelza attempt to keep the peace
and repair their relationship at Nampara. However, the arrival of Demelza s
brothers disturbs the fragile truce and Ross must ask himself how long he can
allow George s ascent to continue unchecked Facing battles both at home and
abroad, will Ross answer the call and risk losing everything he holds dear <br />
The French Revolution gave us high cross-Channel drama [in Episode 3] and
Ross's 007-style heroics and rakish revolutionaries upped the ante... True to
Graham's novels, this show does it all with conviction and is very well acted,
particularly by the central cast. [Independent]<br />
This was an episode [4] to remind us just how good Poldark can be at its best.
[The Telegraph]<br />
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. <br />
<br />
FRIDAY 15 SEPTEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. EXCELSIOR <br />
In 1881 La Scala Milan staged 'Excelsior', a magnificent spectacle created by
Luigi Manzotti, a choreographic, historic, allegoric, phantastic plot in two
parts and eleven scenes , i.e. this was not a ballet in the classical sense.
Excelsior sings the praises of progress in science and other accomplishments,
in keeping with that era of supreme optimism. The steam engine, the Brooklyn
Bridge, electricity, the telegraph, the Suez Canal and the tunnel between Italy
and France are all technical achievements which are shown on stage. Despite its
seemingly dreary subject matter, it was a huge success when first performed,
and enjoyed a run of 103 performances during that year alone. <br />
'This product ion from 2002 at the Teatro alla Scala brings a riot of colour to
Manzotti s work. With 100 dancers on stage at a time, references to the golden
MGM film era and Busby Berkeley-style dancing, it is guaranteed to intrigue and
charm!' [Presto]<br />
' The restaging, based on the original stage and choreographic designs, nods at
irony, revels in kitsch, and apart from cultural snobs, shaking their heads in
despair lets the audience have a thoroughly good time The fun would soon wear
off, however, if it weren t for the fact that beneath the light-hearted
exterior is some seriously good dancing.' [Gramiliano]<br />
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m.
($10.00)<br />
<br />
FRIDAY 22 SEPTEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN!<br />
Choirs from Girls College, Falcon and CBC come together with guests Blessing
Chimanga and the Coghlan Choir for another Academy fund-raiser!<br />
Admission: $3.00 - a fund-raiser so NO concessions!<b r=""></b></span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">With the rains fast approaching, it is important for
people to be mindful that this form of "dumping rubbish" will result
in an avoidable major concern if we are to experience the quantity of rains we
received this past year. It is obvious that we do not have adequate drainage
facilities and the ones that are there are filled with rubbish too - so any
collation of water from the rains will obviously fill our streets and homes
resulting in loss of life and property. Current society regrettably are not
only arrogantly introverted but also take heed the morning after. We have <b><span style="background: yellow; color: red; margin: 0px;">ample time to make a
difference</span></b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;"> </span>and contribute positively
to our environment by investing time into recycling our rubbish and
guaranteeing a toxic free future for our next generation. Thank you for
sharing.</span><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0px;">

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;">Agree 200%
with you – I suggest you ask <b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;">COH</span></b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"> </span>to provide you with their <b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;">litter hotline numbers</span></b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;">
</span>and a protocol people can use if they witness offenders. A couple of
years ago I witnessed a van dumping office stationery by Country Club and took
photos of them, and their number plate and logo and sent it to COH and they
acted on the offenders. We have to be active but we do need help from COH.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;">To <b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;">encourage recycling</span></b>, if glass and plastic
bottles and for that matter empty beer and soda cans were <b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;">returnable to supermarkets</span></b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"> </span>or recycling centres in exchange for a nominal
return reward, I am sure that this would go some way to alleviate the current
scourge of litter. <span style="color: red; margin: 0px;">J</span></span></div>

Kariba</span></b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"> </span>– we have EXACTLY the same
thing so often, we have just cleaned up a stretch of road and hours later,
someone dumps all their rubbish, so infuriating! Great to see others do their
bit too – if everyone does a little each day, it would be a much better place to
live!! Kind regards <b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;">Sonya</span></b></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;">You serious
about burning rubbish? Please don't encourage others to burn their rubbish.
It's illegal and I for one am sick and tired of breathing burning plastic
fumes.
Take it to the dump by all means but expect to get harassed by
"officials" who try to extort <span style="margin: 0px;">$5</span> off
you for carting your rubbish because the City fails to collect regularly. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;">I pay for
private removal of rubbish. Very good rates and I deduct what I have to pay for
privately from the refuse collection charges levied by the non-performing City.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="color: #1f497d; margin: 0px;">Don’t forget that the burning of household or garden refuse is illegal
as it is a major pollutant! People should use garden waste to make </span><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;">compost</span></b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="color: #1f497d; margin: 0px;">, of course.

to me an excellent idea) they are also trying to apply the same method in order
to avoid "benefit payments" being used to buy alcohol - a huge
problem particularly among the First Australians community . there seems to be
HUGE resistance from the recipients(protesting that they are being denied their
"rights" to decide for themselves how to spend cash doled out by the
Govt) - I can't help but think of all those 100's and 1000's of Zimbabweans
who would be over the moon to get regular, generous benefits at all -
whether in cash or card!!!! best regards <b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;">Kate</span></b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

on the Harare/Mutare Road, especially between Rusape and Mutare. Cattle
roam freely there and often sleep on the road for warmth and I have seen
countless dead animals on the side of the road from traffic accidents. </span></div>

In a proclamation gazetted today, 8th September 2017, the President ordered a
new registration of voters in all wards and constituencies in Zimbabwe.
The proclamation was issued in terms of section 36A of the Electoral Act.<br />
<br />
The new registration will be done over four months, starting next Tuesday, 14th
September 2017, and ending on Monday 15th January 2018.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000099;">Effect of Proclamation</span><br />
<br />
Although the proclamation does not expressly say so, its effect is as follows:
Entirely new voters’ rolls are to be prepared for the 2018 general election.<br />
<br />
The Proclamation does not mention biometric voter registration [BVR] but the
Zimbabwean Election Commission [ZEC] has made it quite clear that this will be
the method of registration for the new voters’ rolls.<br />
<br />
Everyone who wants to vote in the 2018 elections will have to take action to
get themselves registered on a new roll.<br />
<br />
Voters who are registered on an existing voters roll will have to apply for
re-registration on a new roll. As the law now stands this entails proving their
identity to a voter registration officer, though they will not have to prove
citizenship or provide proof of residence. They will however be expected to
allow their biometric particulars to be recorded.<br />
<br />
There is a problem here which will have to be sorted out before registration
starts. The only way of checking whether those who claim to be already on a
voters roll and produce their proof of identity, is by checking them against
the existing voters roll. But ZEC has denied they have the complete
existing rolls.<br />
<br />
New voters, i.e. people who are not already registered, will also have to apply
for registration on a new roll. They will have to provide proof of their
identity, their citizenship and their residence. They too will have to
allow their biometric particulars to be recorded.<br />
<br />
There are other legal problems with the proclamation:<br />
<br />
It implies a total cut-off date for registration on the new rolls, but the
Electoral Act provides for continuous registration until twelve days after
nomination day.<br />
<br />
If biometric registration is to start soon, ZEC needs to clarify a great number
of issues on which the public is confused. There should be a clear
procedural manual that they follow and this should be made available to the
public.<br />
<br />
The Electoral Act needs to be brought into line with the Constitution.
Immediately.<br />
<br />
Otherwise confusion and lack of transparency may result in a “Kenya” situation.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">The Zebra
Crossings have claimed another victim despite the fact that they have nearly
all been repainted. This incident took place at the Zimbabwe International
Trade Fair crossing. In many countries motorists have to pause at zebra
crossing regardless if there are pedestrians on the crossing or not. Should
motorists not adhere to this law, they can be fined quite heavily. It has been
seen that our local motorist often ignore the need to stop at zebra crossings
and pedestrians have to leap out of the way to avoid being hit. Please
motorists have a care for the safety of other people before you too kill or
injure a friend or family member.<br />
<br />
Bulawayo was once known as the tourist/industrial hub of Zimbabwe and whilst
over recent years industry has taken a knock, it is heartening to know that it
is now reviving, businesses as well as industry per se. Take for example,
Turnall Fibre Cement, General Beltings, Archer Clothing and the building of
Kentucky Fried Chicken and a $5 million bread plant by Bakers Inn in Belmont
and others. Mine Entra showcased a number of companies manufacturing mining
equipment.<br />
<br />
Humble Pie, which is under new management, is situated opposite old Chitrin's
in Jason Moyo Street/5th Ave. There is nothing 'humble' about these pies
because they are delicious. Also new is the Red Cafe, so called because of its
decor, in George Silundika Street. Medically Bulawayo is well served by virtue
of the number of chemists, privately owned casualty units and hospitals which
have opened in recent years. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">Time, Ladies and
Gentlemen<br />
<br />
The once much-loved George Hotel in Avondale closed on January 4 this year -
sold to Multi-Choice as their new HQ. <br />
A planned valedictory meal in the grotesquely named Freckle and Phart pub, or
the depressing dining room, which was reminiscent of railway architecture circa
1946, was aborted, as it was semi-gutted well before closure.<br />
<br />
Further up George Road, some folk opened a nice restaurant, the Acropolis, and
were doing so well that they decided to beat sanctions and hid their profits in
the back of some copper firescreens, only to get caught. <br />
<br />
Charleston Hotel (ex-Kamfinsa Park) is also shut: "Due to ever rising,"
I heard. Both the above places underwent major changes in clientele,
facilities, and ambience, even cleanliness but are fondly remembered for
special functions and The George, especially for<br />
wedding receptions.<br />
<br />
In 1980 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. The
Lincoln Room had fantastic value for money food in luxurious surroundings. It
closed late November 1980 when the set three-course lunch, featuring baron of
beef, rolled to the table and carved to order was $1,50.<br />
1890 was the cocktail bar. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
Opposite was a complex housing the raucous Round Bar and Le Coq d'Or where
little French was heard. <br />
<br />
The 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 interesting nightlife had flourished there for years!<br />
Playboy was nearby, as was La Boheme: nothing to do with opera, it offered
strippers of often-venerable years. The entrance fee for Sunset Strip was two
shillings and sixpence." The Gentlemen" were the popular Rock band
that played at Saturday Lunchtimes and Sunday Evenings!<br />
Three major Chinese outlets closed after 1980: Golden Dragon, a hangout of
Ministry of Information people, the bar a favourite with international
journalists; The Bamboo Inn with a dark, dingy but somehow appealing pub and
later by an Irishman called (of course) Paddy and The Mandarin, next to Meikles
Store which had no bar, but hacks and hackettes gathered round a service hatch
as if in a Fleet Street club.<br />
Down the way was the Pink Panther,<br />
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.<br />
PP later became Alfredo's then Front Page: restaurants with lively pubs,
gregarious regulars, and liberal hours. <br />
<br />
The "Page" owners: a blonde and a brunette belonged in international
glamour magazines. Pino's in Union Avenue (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
flambe pan.<br />
The Bombay duck between Jameson (Samora Machel) and Central served iridescent
curries all hours for next to nothing.<br />
In Greendale Avenue was the average man's idea of an English Pub, The Red Fox!<br />
At Msasa, The Red Lantern, run by S-W African (Namibian) Germans specialised in
eisbein, knackwurst and bratwurst that I can still smell and taste.<br />
Beverly Rocks was a hospitable hostel: good food, great music, lovely gardens,
(now a government training centre.)<br />
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 in Marandellas (Marondera) for lunch. (Now
a religious institute.)<br />
Glen Lorne's local was the festive Highlands Park. Great dinner dances, lovely
Sunday lunches, cream teas in the garden.<br />
Down the road at Chisipite Shopping Centre was The Howf of Chisholm, which was
super.<br />
The Spaniards, Marlborough (ex-Quorn) served incredibly good food, except for
the soup, which was: always watery, insipid and costly. .<br />
You queued and often cleared the table yourself. The food was<br />
delicious and you either brought your own wine or bought rotgut. Guido was deaf
and when you came to pay he asked what you had and worked it out in his head.<br />
When he retired to the mother country, a redhead Italian bombshell bought the
business and never looked back, until the Aussie Tax Squad arrived. By that
time she had opened Sandro's in Kingsway. There's not been another Harare
establishment like Sandro's. Starting as a private club, it retained club land
ambience till the end. Five stars cooking or basic bar lunch often polished
cabarets; journalists and businessmen rubbed shoulders with cabinet ministers.<br />
Sardinian Sandro also ran Eros: fine Mediterranean food and friendly bar and
Sandrock's, for back-packers.<br />
<br />
On quieter Chalet days, great juicy joints were trundled in at lunch;<br />
patrons sliced their own for 50c with pickles, mustard, horseradish, chips and
rolls.<br />
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. Park Lane (now GMB HQ) the Kaya Nyama steakhouse had its
own printed "Doggy bags" as the steaks were so enormous.<br />
The Clovagalix, on Fife Avenue, caught fire once too often, becoming Cafe Med,
Borrowdale. Caruso's on 4th/Samora was a great Chips d'Oliviera club-cum
Portuguese pub/restaurant. As Vila Peri, it moved to 3rd/Baines. Next-door was
Fat Mama's, previously Spago's. Now called Mama Mia's, it thrives at Newlands.<br />
The Cellar, Marimba Park was tops with journos and the printing trade, serving
wonderful whisky prawns, real rosti; the upstairs bar often seemed the centre
of the universe.<br />
Kamfinsa's Bizarre Bar (later IT, previously Buster's, The Cockpit,<br />
etc) was hugely popular with yuppies, briefly with buppies; once a licence to
print money. New owners cut corners. Now it's a swimming pool sundries shop.<br />
Meikles closed The Mirabelle, The Causerie, Flagstaff and Captain's Cabin,
Bagatelle and La Chandelle.<br />
Monomotapa lost 12000 Horsemen and Bali Hai, but gained La Francais from
Avondale.<br />
When everywhere else closed, you could get ABFs at Al's Place near the Kopje.
Probably unlicensed: whether you ordered whisky, brandy or rum it came from one
bottle; gin, cane, vodka, white rum another.<br />
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), died a<br />
death. Aphrodite, Strathaven, was a superb Greek restaurant.<br />
Demi's near State Lotteries closed due to commuter omnibuses'<br />
anarchistic parking. The original owners set up Tavern Bacchus, near Reps,
which then became the Manchurian.<br />
Up the street, Copacabana served wonderful Portuguese food, having previously
been a great Chinese (White Lotus ). The Himalaya, nearby, did colossal searing
noon curries at minimal cost but was avoided after dusk.<br />
Rosedale's/Rose Bowl/Rose & Crown in Hatfield was a superb Sunday lunch
venue with live entertainment.<br />
One of the best seafood platters you could ever eat was at the Kentucky, also
in Hatfield. <br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">HI All, The
Vumba to me has always brought out thoughts of Trees, Mountains and Wind. We
lived in Umtali (Mutare) in the late 60s and spent many a long, holiday weekend
in different cottages around the (B)Vumba. My Dad loved his </span><b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">card games</span></span></b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">& after
dinner the whole family would sit in the lounge next to a well stacked, wooden
fire playing Canasta, Monopoly or Cribbage – 15/2; 15/4; and the rest won’t
score. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last week I
spent a couple of nights at </span><b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seldom Seen</span></span></b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">– the Birders paradise just 1km off of the main
road and 8 km from Leopard Rock. Seldom Seen is run by Ken & Sue Worsley (</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">worsley.ken@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> ) and their
daughter, Narine, kindly showed me around the place. Remarkable how bush wise a
youngster can be from spending so much time growing up with nature! Then there
is Buluwezi who is a fountain of knowledge on birds who can take you on a </span><b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">guided tour</span></span></b><span style="color: #0000cc; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">through
the forests identifying most birds from their call alone.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;"><br /><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
Seldom Seen is just over half an hour from Mutare and an ideal place to go if
you want to have family time </span><b><span style="color: red; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">well away from the TV</span></span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri;">.
Being so close to Leopard Rock this offers a very cheap alternative
accommodation for a group (12) of determined golfers wanting the self-catering
option for a boys only weekend. Seldom Seen has a fully equipped main house
with 2 separate cottages with their own private space. All very cosy!</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Give Ken a
ring on 0714 516 743 for more details. Ciao Mike G.</span></span></div>
