MAITLAND

Joining against crimeGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

GardenVillagemaybe a small suburb onthe outskirts of Maitland but they’replaying their part in combating crime

in the surrounding areas.On Friday they re-launched their local

neighbourhood watch in Haig Road to makeresidents more aware of their safety andcrime in the area.Chairperson Charnell Southgate pointed

out that they had started the watch becauseof an influx of incidents by criminals from

other areas invading the area.“We are a very small community here

where everybody knows each other,” shesaid.“The problem is that there are criminals

coming from other areas who are affectingour safety.“We’ve had problems where stolen cars

have been dumped in the area and there hasbeen break-ins at surrounding businesses.“We’ve also got the Oude Molen Eco-vil-

lage next door to us and we are concernedabout the safety of visitors that includes lotsof tourists who use the facility.

“Our aim is to make people aware of thepart that they can play in the safety of thecommunity by working with us and the po-lice to report strange vehicles or persons fre-quenting the area.”She also added that the establishment of

the watch could play a part in the safety ofneighbouring suburb Pinelands.“The main road next to Garden Village is

Alexander Road which leads into Pinelandsand criminals can easily use our area to hideout after committing their crimes in that ar-ea.“We will be working closely with police

whenwe aremade aware of such incidents.”she said.Constable Lorencial Johnson, communi-

cations officer forMaitland policewelcomedthe initiative in the community.“As crime fighters, it is of critical impor-

tance that the community joins the fightagainst crime,” he said.“Our children need to play in the streets

safely and without fear at all times withoutparents being concerned of where their chil-dren are all the time. Communities needs toadopt the “your child is my child” attitude.V Continued on page 2

With 15 000 participants lastyear, the organisers of the CapeTown Cannabis Walk hope togrow the event to 45 000 thisyear.Organiser Jo Hout says the

walk, now in its 14th year, hasbeen growing exponentially.Starting with only a handful ofpeople in 2002 as “the only thingsociety coulddo to showsupportfor cannabis legalisation”, thewalk saw 5000 participants in2014, Hout says.The increase in participation

is due to a growing awarenessamong the general public of themedicinal use of cannabis, Houtexplains.“More studies and research

are being carried out on the me-dicinal benefits of cannabis andthe USA has changed their clas-sification of the drug. People areslowly being given the rightkind of information,” he says.Hout believes legalising the

drug would open up a range ofnatural treatments for illnessessuch as epilepsy, cancer, HIV

and neurodegenerative diseas-es, as well as the treatment ofpain and inflammation.“It’s a medicine that people

can grow themselves,” he says.“There are few side effects. Ifsomeone takes too much oxyto-cin, they’ll die. It’s impossible toingest enough cannabis to die.”In addition to hemp crops be-

ing an alternative industry andboosting job creation, Hout be-lieves the income generated bytaxing the drug would bringadded benefits to the economy.The Cannabis Walk provides

a platform for people to discussthe legalisation of cannabis,Hout believes.“These topics are very under-

debated because people arescared of being ostracised. Thewalk shows there’s a large com-munity that supports legalisa-tion and goes to breaking thestigma,” he says. “It’s a tool tostart a conversation and slowlyeducate people.”V The Cannabis Walk takes place onSaturday 7 May at 10:00, starting atthe corner of Tennant and Keizers-gracht streets.

CT Cannabis Walkaiming for a highAn additional route has been ap-

proved for the MyCiTi bus ser-vice.The City of Cape Town’s Council

approved the conceptual design ofthe MyCiTi route T12 betweenMitchell’s Plain and Claremontand a portion of route T11 fromKhayelitsha to the intersection ofStrandfontein Road and New Ot-tery Road.The decision was passed on

Thursday 31 March.Transport for Cape Town (TCT)

will nowproceedwith thedetail de-sign process along the proposedroute alignments.Importantly, the conceptual de-

sign that served before Councildoes not include the Wynberg sec-tion as this part of Phase 2A of theMyCiTi service is subject to a finalcourt ruling.The conceptual design forms the

basis for the detail design process.The following key elements havebeen finalised in the conceptual de-sign:

. The route alignment of the T11and T12 – the roads will allow anaverageoperating speedof 30km/hfor the MyCiTi buses,

. Right ofway –where theMyCi-Ti buses will travel on dedicatedred bus lanes and within mixedtraffic,

. The location of theMyCiTi sta-

tions and stops – locations thatwillbring up to 80% of commuterswithin 500m of a station or stop,and

. Typeof station – the type of sta-tions needed along the routes toserve the number of boarding andalighting passengers and transfersbetween routes.The City has followed an exten-

sive process over a period of fiveyears to reach this stage of the pro-posed Phase 2A project:

. In October 2011 the council ap-proved the planning and design ofPhase 2A of the MyCiTi service,

. In June 2014 the council ap-proved the City’s Integrated PublicTransport Network Plan whichidentified 10 new MyCiTi trunkroutes, inclusive of Phase 2A,

. From October 2014 until July2015, Transport for Cape Town em-barked on a seven-month publicparticipation process about theproposed conceptual design of theT11 and T12 routes,

. Following recent litigationconcerning theWynberg section ofPhase 2A, the T11 is now proposedto terminate at the intersection ofStrandfontein Road and New Ot-tery Road, and

. All matters relating to publictransport inWynberg are excludeduntil such time as a final court rul-ing has been made.

The initial engagements aboutthe draft conceptual design werewith the subcouncils, ward com-mittees,ward councillors,wardde-velopment forumsand taxi and civ-ic organisations to inform themabout the scope of the Phase 2Aproject and the forthcoming opendays.As from 22 May until 3 July last

year, no less than 33 open dayswere hosted at venues within thecommunities who are to benefitfrom Phase 2A of the MyCiTi ser-vice.All of the comments thatwere re-

ceived during the public participa-tion process, either written or ver-bal, were considered and are cap-tured in the report that servedbefore the council.Some of these comments were

addressed during the review of theconceptual design prior to submit-ting it to the council and others,and will be addressed during thedetail design process.Comments about the Wynberg

section are captured in the reportbut have not been addressed giventhe ongoing litigation. Apart fromsome of the comments about theWynberg section, there is over-whelming support for Phase 2A ofthe MyCiTi service in the othercommunities, saysMaycomemberfor transport, Brett Herron.

GIVING BACK: In celebration of 100 years of heritage, Ackermans recently provided care packages to mothers and their newborns at Mowbray Maternity Hospital. Both organisations are celebrating their 100th birthdays this year. The care packages comprised of toiletries, clothing, accessories and comfy blankets for the little ones at the facility. Celebrating the sharing of gifts were,back row from left, Tracey Jager (Ackermans’ human resource director), Karin Moore, (MowbrayMaternity Hospital’s head of nursing), Hanifa Jassiem (Ackermans’ talent management specialist) and in front is Alison Pekeur (coordinator for the Mowbray Maternity Hospital’s Health FacilityBoard), with a patient who requested not to be named.

Some of South Africa’s favourite song-birds will be coming together at the

GrandWest Grand Arena on Saturday 7May for the People’s Post Soul Sisters Moth-er’s Day Celebration.

The concert which will see Three Tons ofFun, Judith Sephuma, Vicky Sampson,Jody Williams, Salome Johansen, MaddyAbrahams and Can Skylark share the stagewith Camillo Lombard and a 12 piece bandas well as MC Marguerita Freeks.People’s Post caught up with Can Skylark

ahead of the concert.. What are you busy

with musically at the mo-ment?

“Currently, I’ve been busywith The Motive over thelast few months. It’s my mu-sic skills development initi-ative my team and I havefounded. It’s a really greatopportunity for the selectedaspiring artists, where weteach them all they need toknow about what it’s like be-ing an artist in the music in-dustry and showcase theirtalents to the world. Theproject is very dear to myheart and allows me to do and inspire othersto do what they love. At the moment we’rebusy in the studio, writing and developingoriginal songs for the artists for the showin July.”

.What are yourmusical plans for thenext few months?

“After The Motive Show in July (I’m veryexcited about it), I’ll be heading overseas todo a few shows in the USA. The outstandinglove that my single “Timebomb” received,have opened up some great doors for me;I’ve been recording and releasing some sin-gles there too. I’ll be working on my thirdstudio album with some amazing producers

in Los Angeles, USA while there, one beingSteve Valenzuela, who’s just produced newmusic for Eric Benet.

I’m also working closely with great song-writers in South Africa for the album, andhave another Can Skylark stage productionplanned for later in the year when I comeback, so I’ll try to have some down time withall the work going on.”

.Howwill you be treating yourmoth-er this Mother’s Day?

“Unfortunately, my mother lives over-seas in Kuwait, and I miss herdearly. We spend as much timeas we can together when she’sin SA, so I spoil her rotten asoften as I can! My sisters andI Skype with and talk to herquite often, so on the rare occa-sion we get to spend time to-gether we do all the girlythings and have so much fun.”

.Why is your mother spe-cial to you?

“My mother is special to me,because she taught me how tobe a strong woman and how toaccept your flaws and cele-brate your strengths. A moth-er’s job is never really done

and I think that we should show all women,not just mothers, unconditional love and ap-preciation. Women have a very special giftof compassion and I think it’s an amazinggift. Let’s show our support to all women outthere. We’re really very blessed.”

. Are you planning any surprises forthe audience at the People’s Post SoulSisters Mother’s Day Celebration?

“I don’t want to reveal too much, so besure to get your tickets to support the show!One thing’s for sure though, let’s just say,it’s going to be H-O-T!”V Tickets for this soulful celebration cost betweenR165 and R250 and are available at Computicket.

2. CONSUMPTIVE TARIFFS AND CHARGES

Water, Sanitation, Electricity and Solid Waste Management attracts VAT at 14%

2.1 WATERThree sets of Water tariffs are proposed (10% Reduction tariff, 20% Reduction tariff and30% Reduction tariff). Each tariff is linked to the level of water reduction imposed. Thenormal tariff set relates to a level at least 10% below the LowWater Demand Curve, asprevious restrictions and water demand initiatives have been successful in reducingthe normal water demand to this level and the Level 1 restriction measures have beenincorporated into the promulgated Water and Sanitation By-Law as permanent goodwater demand practice. The tariff levels of reduction or restriction imposed by the Cityon its consumers is therefore not only linked to the level of restriction imposed bythe Department of Water Affairs on the City, but also to the level of demand from itsconsumers. Due to the current climatic conditions, the City of Cape Town institutedwater restrictions as from 1 January 2016, accompanied by the 20% reduction leveltariff. The 20% reduction level tariff will also be applicable for the 2016/17 financialyear until further decisions regarding the water restrictions are made.An increase of 9.75% is proposed for consumptive water tariffs.2.1.1 Domestic Full - Water which is used predominantly for domestic purposes

IN THE GARDEN

Stay waterwise in winterEven with winter approaching, you still need to be water wisein your garden.

Water is our most precious resource, so we need to exploreadapting our gardens by planting more water wise plants.

Besides requiring less water, indigenous plants also reduceair pollution and promote biodiversity and stewardship of ournatural heritage. However, there seems to be a misconceptionthat indigenous plants lack colour which is why there has beena bit of resistance to planning and planting indigenous gar-dens.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Plants such as Gaza-nia, Bauhinia galpinii and Cape honeysuckle (Tecomacapen-sis) provide a blaze of orange which can be contrasted withthe gentle blues of agapanthus, plumbago and felicia, whilepink indigofera and anisodonte and the violet flowers of tinniabarbata can provide a pretty background to a mixed border.The possibilities and combinations are endless.

One spectacular but hardy plant that can withstand periodsof drought is agapanthus. The thick, fleshy roots store waterand food and they thrive and flower copiously if planted in fullsun with well drained soil and plenty of compost. When flower-ing they add lovely colour to a garden from blue purple to whiteand sometimes even pink. They make attractive containerplants, even when not in flower, and are excellent cut flowers.

Beetroot is another veggie that is easy to grow. It does bestin partial or full sun. Beets might have the highest sugar con-tent of all vegetables, but they are also rich in nutrients andmost people can safely eat beetroot a few times a week. Drink-ing beetroot juice lowers blood pressure, boosts your staminaand fights inflammation. Beets are also rich in fibre and helpwith detox.

Make use of the last of the summer sunshine to plant veggiesfor hearty winter soups. Why not try radish, leeks, beetroot,turnips and onions?

Remember to plant early in the morning or late in the after-noon as the midday sun will make it far more difficult for newplants to cope.V This column was contributed by Stodels. Read more water-wise gardeningtips in People’s Post the first week of every month or visit www.stodels.com.

Nomercy for thosewho rape, murderI have a radical inexpensiverape solution to the currentrape epidemic in South Africa.

I believe once a person hasbeen convicted of rape ormurder the following shouldhappen:Rapists:They must be castrated. This

will prevent them from attack-ing another person in thefuture. They must be tattooedwith an identifying “R” in themiddle of their forehead. Thiswill ensure that the publicknow that they have offendedbefore. They will be scarred forlife, just like their victims.Currently there is no way ofidentifying offenders.

They will be ousted by thecommunity and will be shamedall of their lives and so willtheir families – a major deter-rent for any sane person. Theywill be easily identifiable topotential employers, landlords,and communities that theywant to be involved with. Beingeasily identified will assist thepublic make decisions aboutthese people.

They will be picked on and

generally treated badly. Thiswill be a major deterrent forother offenders. They do not goto jail. They must live theirlives as outcasts. This will be aharder sentence plus will helpreduce numbers in the over-flowing jail system.

They must be able to survivebut will struggle to get intonormal employment, thereforethey could work in work groupsdeveloped for rapist to worktogether doing good work forthe communities – e.g. beachcleaning teams and rhinoprotection. They get paid fromthe jail system by the moneythat they would have needed tohouse them in jail.Murderers:Bring back the death sentence

for all murders. The victims’families can choose how thecriminal will die if they wanttoo. The victims’ families canparticipate in the execution ofthese murderers. This willmean Less people in jail and amajor deterrent to otheroffenders.

Mystery at theMagic ClubLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Tucked away in the bowels of the opulentCape Town Club a book shelf acts as a

hidden door, leading to a world of wonder.There, ina space reminiscent of aprohibi-

tion-era haunt, is where you’ll find thebrand new Cape Town Magic Club.With some of South Africa’s top magic

acts lined up for the clubs first season, theCape TownMagic Club continues the tradi-tion of Monday night Magic events whichhave been running in London and NewYork for more than 15 years already.It was Pinelands comedy magician Mar-

cel Oudejans who decided to bring the con-cept to South Africa, after finding himselffrustrated with the lack of regular magicshows in Cape Town.It all started six years ago during a con-

versation with Cape Town’s Jacques leSueur and London’s John Lenahan aboutthis very subject. “John shared his experi-ences about launchingMondayNightMagicin London, and the idea of doing a weeklymagic show similar to a comedy clubwherethere would be several magicians on thebill,” Marcel explains.He andJacques both agreed they liked the

idea, but it was put on hold until about ayear ago when Marcel saw the venue at theCape Town Club in Queen Victoria Street,CBD.He had some very clear goals about what

he wanted to achieve with the club. Marcelwanted to create a venue where audiencescould regularly watch magic and be ex-posed to local talent, but also a diverse lineup of magicians “with different styles, agesand talents to perform”.Hewanted to create a platform forup-and-

coming performers where they could gainexperience and have a space to test newma-terial and ideas and to “play” with hisfriends.The intimate 40-seater theatre gives audi-

ences a chance to “see everything clearly”.In fact, Marcel says finding theatres suit-

able for magic is not an easy task. Despitebeing a performer for many years already,he only started producing theatre showsabout four years ago and soon found: “Mosttheatres in Cape Town are too large.”“The few that are small are expensive to

rent,” he explains, adding: “I wanted the au-dience to experience something more thanjust an ‘ordinary’ theatre.”The ‘Black Bar’ cellar of the Cape Town

Club, designed by Sir Herbert Baker, al-ready had all the makings of a “magicalspace”.“The fact that the ‘bookcase door’ existed

already, together with the ‘speakeasy’ bar,and lots of comfortable seating meant thatwe only needed to provide the equipment tomake the theatre and the whole experiencewould come together.”The Cape Town Magic Club officially

opened its doors to audiences on Mondayandmagic fans can look forward to alternat-ing performances by Marcel, Robin Bolt-man, Andrew “Magic Man” Eland, BryanMiles, Jacques le Sueur, Mawonga Gayiyaand Jesse Brooks for season one.The club will host two performances ev-

ery Monday at 19:00 and 21:00 until 6 June,before the line-up for the next season is an-nounced.V Tickets for Monday night Magic shows at the CapeTown Magic Club are available at Quicket.co.za. Formore about the club’s schedule for season one, par-ticipating performers or dinner, visit www.mag-ic.capetown or facebook.com/capetownmagic.

The 6th annual Penguin Promises Waddlefor a Week will see a group of waddlers

set off from Gansbaai and walk their way toSimon’s Town over a period of six days,starting on Monday 11 April.Along the way they will raise much-need-

ed awareness about the plight of the endan-gered African penguin, as well as the envi-ronment, and collect promises as part of thePenguin Promises campaign.This initiative encourages people to make

behavioural changes which have a positiveimpact on the environment. The 16 wad-dlers, tackling the 120km walk, are animalkeepers from around the country as well asother animal penguin enthusiasts and envi-

ronmental supporters. This year the first in-ternational participant, Leitza Gormanfrom Devon Zoo in the UK, joins the group.“The main thing I’m looking forward to is

the opportunity to make a positive impact,however small, on the future of African seabirds through education,” said Gorman.The African penguin is the only penguin

species found on the African continent. Thespecies is endemic to the southern Africancoastline and occurs from Namibia to AlgoaBay. These birds face extinction in the wildas their numbers continue to decline dra-matically. Reduced food availability due tooverfishing, climate change and habitat de-struction are just some of the factors taking

their toll on bird numbers.How can South Africans help the African

penguin, the environment and the wad-dlers? By simply promising to make achange in their daily lives. These promisesare funnelled through thePenguinPromisescampaign and can be submitted to [email protected] should be kept simple and

achievable. Some examples of promises in-clude: declining straws, using reusableshopping bags rather than plastic bags, tak-ing quick showers rather than bathing,choosing only sustainable seafood, and ad-hering to water by-laws, to name but a few.Whenmade collectively, these choices can

have an immensely positive impact on theenvironment.On the final day of the Waddle, Saturday

16 April, the group will depart fromMuizen-berg and will walk to Simon’s Town. On this15km leg, they would love to see as manyCapetonians and visitors as possible jointhem. Dress in black and white and showyour love and support of the African pen-guin – Leave Muizenberg (Surfer’s Corner)at 09:00 and reach Simon’s Town at approxi-mately 13:00.V For further information about the Penguin PromisesWaddle for a Week, visit www.penguinpromises.comor email Hayley McLellan on [email protected]

After annexing their 17th senior nation-al baseball championship (NBC) lastweek, all of theWestern Province (WP)

youth teams proceeded to win gold in theirdivisions over the last week.Western Province have nowmade it back-

to-back clean sweeps of the South AfricanBaseball Union’s (SABU) senior and youthNBCs after alsowinning gold in all divisionsin Boksburg last year.The seniorWPA side conquered all before

them as they registered no fewer than fiveshut outs whilst drawing one game to Gaut-eng u.23, which was rained out. WP A beatWP u.23 10-0 in the semi-finals and facedGauteng A in the final after Gauteng A beatWP B 9-2 in their semi-final.

The final was played in horrendouslywindy and rainy weather, which did not al-low for good baseball. The weather favouredGautengA as it stifled theWPApowerhousebatting line-up. Both teams were taken offthe field twice due to persistent rain. On thesecond occasion, at the top of the ninth in-nings, umpires called the game off with WPA leading 7-0. As the innings was incom-plete, the official score stood at 5-0, as it wasat the bottom if the eighth innings.The pitching duo of Jared Elario and Carl

Michaels stood out, with Brett Willemburgand Darren Wedel shining with the bat.WP u.18 A beat Gauteng A 10-0 in the final

of the junior championship.Jarrod Williams pitched a sublime game

and was well supported by his fielders whoturned a beautiful double play in the sixth

inning. Williams pitched six innings, con-ceding five hits, two walks and fanned twohitters.He was replaced by Brandon Smith who

recorded the last three outs.Brandon Gehlig (2 for 2), Haydon Matter

(2 for 3) and Kyle Ripepi (2 for 4) were thestandout hitters for WP u.18 A.Gauteng A beat Gauteng B 6-3 and WP A

beatWPB 9-2 in their respective semi-finals.In a tightly contested final for u.15s, WP

A beat Gauteng A 5-1. Both teams utilisedthreepitchers eachbut itwasWPAthat tookadvantage of the errors and walks given upby Gauteng A. Just when Gauteng A werethreatening, WP A turned a double play tokeep them scoreless in that innings.WP A beat Gauteng B and Gauteng A beat

WP B in the semi-finals.

After losing to Gauteng A 11-10 in theround robin, WP A beat them 5-3 in an excit-ing u.12 final. The young boys of the tourna-ment had everyone on the edge of their seatsin an awesome display of skills at this youngage. Both teams did very well and gave agood account of themselves.Western Province Baseball dominance is

good for the region, but definitely not goodfor South African baseball. One would havethought that Gauteng Central, Eastern andNorthern have consolidated into one unitthat would wrestle the dominance and tro-phies away from Western Province.Other regions to have participated in the

tournament were KZN, Mandela Bay, Eden,Cape Winelands and Zimbabwe. Some re-gions entered more than one team per divi-sion.

WP baseball makes clean sweep

Western Province’s u.15 A side beat Gauteng A 51 in a tightly contested final at the ChukkerRoad sport complex on Saturday.

A victorious Western Province u.18 A side completed a clean sweep of titles for all WesternProvince teams at the national baseball championships in Chukker Road after two weeks ofaction.

Perfect Cape Townweather, close racingand a fair share of controversywere allpart of the script atKillarney’s opening

round of the 2016 South African NationalKarting Championship, but the weekendwill likely better be remembered for the factthat local drivers proved totally dominant.According to a press release by WPMC

Kart Club, Western Province MotorsportClub karters Julian van derWatt, Dino Ster-min, Sebastian Boyd, Joseph Oelz and CharlVisser eachwononeof the fivenational cate-gories that made up the meeting. Local rac-ers also won thirteen of Saturday’s fifteenraces and with most classes offering theirchampions a seat in the Rotax Max WorldFinals in Italy inOctober, Cape karting onceagain started the season on a high note.Killarney is well-known as a hard nut to

crack for visiting karters and Saturdayproved no exception with three of the win-ners unbeaten over the weekend, but thisyear saw a local lad coming out on top of thefastest Rotax DD2 shifter class too for thefirst time when Formula Ford frontrunnerJulian van der Watt (Kosmic) came from be-hindeach time tobeatSADD2championandJozi Polo Cup racer Bradley Liebenberg (Bi-rel) and Masters class winner, Port Eliza-beth’s multiple SA Production Car champi-on and GTC racer, Michael Stephen.Another Cape driver and VW Polo Cup

racerUmpie Swart (Birel)was fourth inDD2from Durbanite Benjamin Habig (TonyK-art), former WP champ Jonathan Thomas(PartnersCRG),Bloemdriver JustinAllison(Tony Kart) and Tristan de Nobrega, RobertWhiting andMichael Buchholz rounding off

the top ten.The open age group 125cc RotaxMaxChal-

lenge is one class where Cape drivers haveregularly dominated over the years and thisyear was no exception. Reigning SA JuniorMax championDino Stermin (Kosmic) over-came a difficult first heat to take two hard-fought wins to take overall honours for theday.Although it was no walk in the park, Se-

bastian Boyd (Kosmic) made nomistakes enroute to three fine racewins and a dominantmaiden national high school 125cc JuniorMax victory over local rival Daniel Duminywho drove a characteristically steady week-end to bring his Kosmic home. In secondplace was Johannesburg driver BlaineRademeyer (Birel), Worcester lad JP Ham-man (Kosmic), Mozambican Karl Pitzer(FA), Durbanite Dominic Lincoln (Tony)

and local ladAndrewRackstraw(Tony).Cameron O’Connor, Storm

Lanfear and Jason Coetzeerounded off the Junior Max topten, but Coetzee, who was sec-ond to Boyd in the first and thirdheats, was party to a controver-sial second heat last lap that sawhim excluded from that heat andDario Busi, who had led most ofthatheat excluded for theday fortheir parts in some questionablelast lap race two tactics…There may have been just one

Cape driver on the other prima-ry school 60ccMiniRok grid, butthat did not prevent wildcardCharl Visser (Zanardi) fromwinning it. Visser was firsthome in all three races, but wasdocked five places for a startlineinfringement to hand KwandaMakoena (FA) a rare out of townvictory in the finale.Visser’s Mini Rok win was

however all the more impress-ive considering that he bounced

straight back to win the second Mini Rokrace immediately after being significantlyshaken up when thrown from his kart in ahefty second race Maxteino crash.Now all that remains to be seen is if Cape

Town’s karters can continue to dominate thenational races away from home. The secondround of the SA national karting champion-ship follows in Port Elizabeth on WorkersDay 1 May.
