I started the day at Sharon School in Harare and have much more material but this is just a first glimpse of an immaculately kept and still highly regarded primary school. The principal Kim Bezuidenhout warmly greeted me and gave me an update on the school including the fact that the old Youth Centre next door is now the Jewish Nursery School and is under Sharon School. She emphasized how important it was to them to keep the uniqueness of the school with its Jewish character.

The Story of Otis Waygood Otis History 1 My first engagement with music occurred when I was 8, in standard 1, when my lifelong friend Morris got up in front of the class and sang “Rock Around the Clock”. I can still sense my amazement and exhilaration. I hurried home at lunchtime, excited to reveal my initiation into the world of adult music, but my mom, to my amazement, was nonplussed.

Overall Bulawayo feels much more relaxed than Harare, less traffic, many if not most of the traffic lights actually work and the main roads are fine. Many side roads in the suburbs are in poor condition.
