Arts/Culture Review
Encounters with articulate anger
ADOLESCENCE is brutal. For those from the ghetto of Old Naledi, it was painful attending any of the numerous schools around Gaborone. It always reminded one of how low in the social ladder one was. Surbuban opulence was always on show. Mondays, one sat there listening to classmates from the surburbs chatting about what nightclubs they had been to on the weekend. Fridays; the same torture of classmates loudly planning the weekend ahead. A feast on Saturday. Party on Saturday night.

OUT at Mogoditshane, close to the turn off to Kanye, is the location of the Yarona Country Club. The brainchild of an innovative Motswana Patrick Simon, over the years it has developed, increased, matured, expanded in no uncertain manner.

Kill Bill Volume 2 is at the New Capitol Cinemas, River Walk. Welcome to the final part. Kill Bill 1 was reviewed in Mmegi on 25 February 2004. This is not a sequel. Instead it is Quentin Tarantino’s conclusion to his grand epic on The Bride and her quest for revenge. It covers chapters six through ten in the story of Beatrix Kiddo a.k.a Black Mamba (Uma Thurman).
