WHO NEEDS BOTOX ?? Weeks come and weeks go but few weeks have been as festive as the last two weeks spent with our USA World Cup Football visitors. Now I have over the years, been coerced by HeeHoo to "Love rugby" to "Love cricket" and to love all sport !! But after these two weeks I also "Love Football" South Africans have done FIFA proud ... they really have. The cities are festooned from top to toe with banners and flags, every able bodied person has been wearing an official world cup yellow tee shirt, the stadia are glorious, every other car is sporting South African flags and wing mirror covers, the hype is fabulous and its all totally a sea of yellow and green "Ayoba" We arrived in Johannesburg from Kruger right at the start of the Opening Game between Mexico and South Africa. It was 5 pm on a Friday. Friday at 5 pm is an horrendous time traditionally in Johannesburg. The City is usually gridlocked with furious commuters. It usually takes hours to get from A to B. But Friday 11 June 2010 was different. It was like driving into a ghost town .... there was no one about ! The streets were deserted, the shops were closed, there were no vendors rushing around at the intersections selling flags ..... It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and we were the last people on the Earth. It was like a scene from the movie Armadeddon .... We drove awkwardly to the house, off loaded the soccer enthusiasts and yours truly elected to fetch some beer for the occasion . I headed straight for Pick 'n Pay which is open till seven pm come rain or shine ..... But wait !! The shop was closed ....... the mall was deserted .... not a sound emanated from the eerie night ... I looked around nervously, In the distance I could actually hear the sound of the Tiffids, (remember the radio show "The Day of the Triffids ?") It was a strange hum as if from another planet ..... was this the end of the world perhaps ? Was I possibly the last living person alive on planet earth? I hurridly exited the deserted mall, the Boys could do without beer I decided, even if it was the opening match of the 2010 Football Wold Cup. As I sped home the sound of the wicked humming got louder and louder and as I passed the "Keg and Spitfire" I was most relieved to see a hive of activity, (no pun intended) as this was from whence that strange humming noise emanated !! Hooray, it was not after all the end of the world, it was the sound of the Vuvuzelas heralding the entrance of the Great Bafana Bafana Team and the equally great Team from Mexico !!. No wonder there was no one on the streets, everyone was either at the Soccer City or in front of the telly watching their favourite and most glorious football team !! Feeling a little foolish I slunk home to the sound of more vuvuzelas from the Folk who had arrived all the way from the USA to enjoy this fabulous African Experience ...... The following night - Saturday night - was a splendid occasion, it was the USA v England Game. 40 thousand fans, including our festive party from Zimbabwe, SA, England and the USA converged on the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg. We got home eventually twelve hours later, smothered in flags and face paint, battered and bruised but exhhilarated. A fabulous fellow from Dallas Texas, a man of few words, was heard to observe the following morning, that the evening was not without injury .... he had happily blown his vuvuzela for most of the evening, and he looked remarkably like one of the hook lipped Black Rhino we had seen at Kruger the day before.... It was a serious case of "Vuvuzela Lip" and Dino fron the USA certainly did not need botox after his fabulous twenty ten experience !! ++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS 1.

We are very fortunate to have JOHN EDMOND as our special guest/performer who will be traveling all the way from South Africa to be with us on that weekend. Let's make this year's celebration one to remember and cherish. For those of you who are not familiar with John Edmond, here is a brief introduction. John is somewhat of a legend around campfires from Zambia to Zululand and from Namibia to Mozambique as a singer, songwriter, entertainer, story teller, author and bush pilot. He has been there and done it all and continues to strive on. His musical career has taken him through the 60's, 70's pop, country and TV eras with 7 smash South African hits in a row, along with Dave Mills, the only man in South Africa to ever do this. John is also an icon in Zimbabwe and to this day has dominated their charts. But let us not forget the impact he made with his Rhodesian "troopie" songs of long ago, cherished to this day by so many of us. ++++++ Performing Arts Bulawayo and the Academy Thursday 17 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. The Chorus "The Chorus" is a French film that was nominated for two Academy awards and is set in France in 1948.

Daniel, the son of Chris Nxumalo, a pastor at Bulawayo Baptist Church, has a rare bone condition concerning the growth of his legs. He has undergone a number of operations to date. Because of his physical development and the expected 'growth spurt' two more operations are urgent, one on each leg, to ensure that Daniel will be able to walk in the future. These operations need to happen SOON within the space of the next 2 months, in South Africa, at an estimated cost for both operations of a frightening R250,000.00. AN APPEAL FOR HELP To raise funds for Daniel, the Youth at Baptist church will be putting on an evening of entertainment at the Petra High School pavilion as part of 'A Day for Daniel', a day devoted to raising money for this good cause. This will include tributes to great artists such as Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, as well songs by young local song writers, and comedy skits by some of Bulawayo's finest young actors. Curry and rice, boerewors rolls and drinks will be on sale at the event, so come hungry! Please join us for an evening of great music, comedy and food, in aid of a lively young boy who desperately needs our help. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Could you place this in the mirror or forward it to him rather. "The big Switch" To the person that wrote about the "The big switch". I definitely agree with your idea and have on many occasion thought of actually having a timetable written and put in my kitchen for my domestics to switch the geysers on and off. However, your suggestion of switching off between 5 and 8 in the evening, in my opinion, will not catch on. Purely because most of us have kids that need to be bathed and trust me, by the time you have finished rush hours with the bathing and feeding and putting to bed you barely have time to have a cup of tea and then have a bath yourself at around 8. If we were to switch off our geysers at that time, we'd all end up with a cold bath by the time our turn came around. Therefore, I suggest that all Mom's should instruct their domestics to switch off the geysers at 8am (they should all be at work by then) and then switch them on again at around 3:30 or 4pm, that give's up to 7 hours break for the geysers and saving of zesa (instead of your suggested 3 hours). Please keep in mind that most areas's have load shedding in those times anyway people, so really, switching off your geysers in those times is not really going to make a difference to your life. On another note, I suggest that you speak to a man of authority at Zesa and they should gazette the suggestion to everyone so that maybe we can save some electricity and not have such bad load shedding during the cold months ahead.

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the shop. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in 'Mom let's run through the rain,' she said. 'What?' Mom asked. 'Lets run through the rain!' She repeated 'No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit,' Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated: 'Mom, let's run through the rain,' 'We'll get soaked if we do,' Mom said. 'No, we won't, Mom.. That's not what you said this morning,' the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm. This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet? 'Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!' The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. 'Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing,' Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.... Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories.....So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN. +++++++++++ The content that is published in Morning Mirror does not necessarily reflect the editor's opinion.
