Hip Hop night of farce
The place is the Gaborone International Conference Centre. The night is billed for the Hip Hop Awards. Tickets at the door are P150 each. Apart from the occasional photographer and journalist, the crowd is dominated by Gaborone’s young and advantaged; flashy smiles, funky hairstyles, sparkling eyes, English spilling from glossed lips and an exclusive African chic attire. Nostalgic opulent style
Once it was mooted as a dream in memory of an old Papuan chef, but it looks like that campaign has been dropped. Now Goombays is simply Goombays, a pragmatic four-star grillroom located within the Gaborone Sun Hotel, offering good food.A deep pool of emotional turbulence
Swimming Pool is at the New Capitol Cinemas, Riverwalk, starting today for one week (a combined presentation with the Alliance Française) at 17:15 and 20:15.
SWIMMING Pool (2003) is one of the better films to make it to the big screen in Gaborone this year. Francois Ozon directed Swimming Pool and wrote the script with Emmanuelle Bernheim. Except for opening and closing sequences in London, the film is set in Southern France in Luberon. A surrealistic life
Luis Buñuel (2003) Translated from the Spanish by Abigail Israel My Last Breath, London, Vintage Classics, Paperback 256 pages, P 72, ISBN 0-099-30183-0.
