Transformation beginsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Contractors are on site to transformBeaufort House, a heritage building onBree Street, into a new electricity depot

for the City of Cape Town.Beaufort House, the site of the old City

Housing offices situated between Bree andBuitengracht streets,will be revamped to ac-commodate the electricity depot which hasbeen housed on the corner of Strand andHudson streets (“Empowering a green fu-ture”, People’s Post, 10 July 2014).The development, which is set to cost

around R120m, has suffered delays with thecontractor originally expected on site lastyear.Mayoral committee member for utility

services, Ernest Sonnenberg, says the pre-construction phase took longer than origi-nally planned.“We had hoped for the contractor to be on

site in the second half of 2015, but despite de-lays we are pleased that site handover wasable to take place this month,” he says.The move will allow for alternative uses

of the Strand Street quarry to be exploredby the City (“Electricity depot on themove”,People’s Post, 27 November 2013).

The site forms part of a historic precinctwithin the City Bowl, Sonnenberg says.The City aims “to ensure that the new de-

pot enhances the precinct andblends inwiththe historic buildings”, he explains.Other sites considered were the Solid

Waste Depot in Beach Road and the Cleans-ing Depot in Selkirk Street, both in Wood-stock.The step-down transformer, which is

linked to the electricity depot, located inHudson Street, will remain and not accom-pany the depot when moved.But not only will the building be given a

new lease on life, it will also be eco-friendly,

says Sonnenberg.The City is also aiming for a Green Star

rating for energy efficiency on the new de-pot.This rating will make it the first new elec-

tricity depot in South Africa where energyefficiency requirements are blended in withhistorical andenvironmental requirements,Sonnenberg says.“Given thehistorical importance of the ar-

ea, the City needed to ensure a functionallycomplex building that is green-rated, com-plements the surrounding buildings, andmeets all the heritage requirements,” hesays.

Jazz artists from around the worldwere in Cape Town this weekend forthe 17th Cape Town InternationalJazz Festival. Sir Mychael Davison(left) and Eddie Mininfield were partof the band supporting Americanlegend Shiela E. See more picturesfrom the festival on page 4.

VREDEHOEK

New park openedafter upgradeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Vredehoek’s newest park is officially openfor playtime.Virginia Avenue Park was opened by

ward councillor Dave Bryant yesterday(Monday4April) afterupgrades over the lastyear.The park, on a piece of unused public

space on the corner ofMill Street andVirgin-ia Avenue, is expected to boost safety in thearea and link theMill Street skate park. Thearea was being used for antisocial activitiesand with the skate park located next door,it was thought prudent to create a small playpark for younger children, Bryant says(“Vredehoek gets new park”, People’s Post,29 August 2015).Improvements include new fencing and

planting, as well as benches and picnic ta-bles. The walls have been decorated withmurals and bougainvilleas have been plant-

ed with trellises.“The new park is funded via ward alloca-

tion funding following on from a site visitI conducted with the neighbourhood watchand residents a year and a half ago. Over thepast four years the City has completely reju-venated the area around Mill Street Bridgetaking it from a problematic dead space toa safe and vibrant urban node,” he says.Lockable gates have been installed to en-

sure safety. “The park will be opened andclosed during specific hours as a safetymeasure. The skate park across the road hasbeen extremely popular since it waslaunched in 2014 and Virginia Avenue Parkwill help complement this space by provid-ing a secure green play and picnic area.”There are also plans to establish a friends

group to help manage the park, says Bryant“We are appealing to residents who would

like to be involved in a friends group for Vir-ginia Avenue Park to contact the City’sparks department,” he says.

Fund grows businessesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Small tourism businesses have been giv-en a boost through Cape Town Tourism’sBoard Development Fund.The fund selects two small businesses

annually to receive a R50 000 cash prizeaswell as access to business developmentand networking opportunities.Started three years ago, the fund is

made up of the money that would be paidto board members. They decided to in-stead serve on the board for free and do-nate their would-be earnings to develop-ing small businesses in the tourism in-dustry, with the focus on historicallydisadvantaged individuals, explainsCape Town Tourism chairperson EnverMally.“Entrepreneurs have lots of people tell-

ing them why their idea won’t work, butthey don’t get a lot of support. Entrepre-neurs need to be encouraged. It’s a toughroad to walk with a lot of knocks alongthe way. Entrepreneurs and small busi-nesses are the obvious solutions to jobcreation,” he says.Turning Point B&B in Kuils River,

owned by husband and wife Doris andIsaacManini, as well asMaboneng Town-ship Arts Experience, which locates andadopts township homes as home gallerieswhere local artists can display theirworks to visitors and where the womenof the home can earn extra income, werenamed recipients at an event on Wednes-day 30 March.Started in Alexandra, Johannesburg,

by artist Siphiwe Ngwqenya, the organi-sation was born out of a need to exhibithis work. After being told he would haveto wait two years for space in a gallery,Ngwqenya started exhibiting in his ownneighbourhood.The organisation now focuses on Cape

Town and surrounds in the areas of Lan-ga, Gugulethu and Kayamandi, and oneof the key aims is to develop a new anddiverse audience and platform for artsand culture in Cape Town.“It’s inspirational to see someone com-

ing from the dusty streets of the townshipand becoming captains of industry,”Mal-ly says.However, this year the fund added a

surprise announcement,with a thirdben-eficiary selected and funded by ThebeTourism.The third award was given to Lungi

Sotyingwa, a former domestic worker inSea Point, who was encouraged by heremployer, Marijke Frijtersto, to start herown guest house. Her “shack chic” bedand breakfast opened in Khayelitsha in2010, but was closed after a devastatingfire in 2014. Sotyingwa and her partnersrebuilt and opened their doors again inSeptember last year.“I’m so shocked. I thought I was not a

winner and toldmyself that next time I’mgoing to win. Then they announced thatI was also a beneficiary. I’m very proudof myself,” she says.Sotyingwa plans to use the money to

train as a tour guide, to offer additionalservices to her clients, as well as to com-plete the rebuilding of the guest house.She also hopes to support local communi-ty projects.The cash prize is accompanied by busi-

ness skills coaching, training opportuni-ties and mentorship.“Our collective experience – some of us

have been in tourism for decades – is val-uable. It may not feel like it, but we havelearned through experience and trial anderror, and this we can put to good use byoffering wisdom, insights and tips tosmall businesses seeking to make it inthis competitive environment,” Mallysays.

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.

with Can Skylark ahead ofthe concert.

. What are you busywith 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 my heart and allowsme to do and inspire others to do what theylove. At the moment we’re busy in the stu-dio, writing and developing original songsfor the artists for the show in 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 producersin Los Angeles, USA while there, one being

Steve 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 missher dearly. We spend asmuch time as we can togeth-er when she’s in SA, so Ispoil her rotten as often asI can! My sisters and I Skypewith and talk to her quite of-ten, so on the rare occasionwe get to spend time togeth-er we do all the girly thingsand have so much fun.”

. Why is your motherspecial to you?

“My mother is special tome, because she taught mehow to be a strong womanand how to accept yourflaws and celebrate yourstrengths. A mother’s job is

never really done and I think that we shouldshow all women, not just mothers, uncondi-tional love and appreciation. Women havea very special gift of compassion and I thinkit’s an amazing gift. Let’s show our supportto all women out there. We’re really veryblessed.”

. 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.

The City Hall is scheduled for an upgradeof the roof and rainwater system in the

next financial year.Originally covered in slate tiles, the up-

gradewill require permission and approvalfrom Heritage Western Cape before anywork can start.Mayco member for tourism, events and

economic development,GarrethBloor, saysthe professional services team is finalisingthe cost estimates and the repairs will becarried out in the 2016/2017 financial year.“A permit fromHeritageWestern Cape is

required,” he says.This follows anR8mupgrade to the iconic

building (“Lighting up”, People’s Post, 14October 2014), which includedmaintenanceto the wooden floors, hallways and exhibi-tion spaces as well as rainwater drainage.City Hall upgrades have also been com-

plemented by a R1m upgrade to improve se-curity and accessibility to Grand Parade(R1m upgrade planned for city landmark,People’s Post, 2 September 2014).Recent maintenance has also been car-

ried out on the clock at the City Hall, as theCity of CapeTownundertook emergency re-pairs on the iconic City Hall clock after itstoppedworking inNovember 2013, andhadbeen operated manually for short periodsuntil the fault was addressed and repaired.The clock in the turret is modelled on

London’s Big Ben and is exactly half thesize. It strikes the hours and chimes theWestminster Quarters.TheCity published plans to refurbish and

restore the property in 2010 under the su-pervision of a steering committee.The CityHall was built in 1905, from lime-

stone imported fromBath, England, and thespecifications for the organ were drawn upby Sir George Martin, organist of St Paul’sCathedral in London.

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, ages

and 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 ‘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.

CT Cannabis Walkaiming for a highNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

With 15 000 participants last year, the or-ganisers of the Cape Town Cannabis

Walk hope to grow the event to 45 000 thisyear.Organiser Jo Hout says the walk, now in

its 14th year, has been growing exponential-ly. Starting with only a handful of people in2002 as “the only thing society could do toshow support for cannabis legalisation”,thewalk saw 5000 participants in 2014, Houtsays.The increase in participation is due to a

growing awareness among the general pub-lic of the medicinal use of cannabis, Houtexplains.“More studies and research are being car-

ried out on the medicinal benefits of canna-bis and the USA has changed their classifi-cation of the drug. People are slowly beinggiven the right kind of information.”Hout believes legalising the drug would

open up a range of natural treatments forillnesses such as epilepsy, cancer, HIV andneurodegenerative diseases, as well as thetreatment of pain and inflammation.

“It’s a medicine that people can growthemselves,” he says. “There are few sideeffects. If someone takes toomuch oxytocin,they’ll die. It’s impossible to ingest enoughcannabis to die.”In addition to hemp crops being an alter-

native industry and boosting job creation,Hout believes the income generated by tax-ing the drug would bring added benefits tothe economy.“On the recreational side, people are go-

ing to buy drugs – no matter what. Whenthey aren’t taxed, it creates the gap for thosefunds to go to criminal institutions,” hesays.The Cannabis Walk provides a platform

for people to discuss the legalisation of can-nabis, Hout believes.“These topics are very under-debated be-

cause people are scared of being ostracised.The walk shows there’s a large communitythat supports legalisationandgoes tobreak-ing the stigma,” he says. “It’s a tool to starta conversation and slowly educate people.”V The Cannabis Walk takes place on Saturday 7 Mayat 10:00, starting at the corner of Tennant and Keiz-ersgracht streets. For more information, like the CapeTown Cannabis Walk page on Facebook.

Athletics action is coming to the city tohonour a star of yesteryear and pay trib-ute to some heroes of the past.The gala schools athletics meet will be

staged at Green Point Athletics on Tues-day April 12 to honour thememory of starsprinter Kenny Roman, who died recent-ly, as well as recognising the achieve-ments and contributions of the stars ofyesteryear.A number of the peninsula’s top senior

schools, including Harold Cressy, Trafal-gar, SouthPeninsula,Athlone,Wittebomeand Spine Road, will send athletes to par-ticipate. These schools have historicallybeen strong performers at athletics days.Thedriving forcebehind the event is the

not-for-profit community organisationPlay Sport4Life which has already ar-ranged a number of successful events inthe Kensington-Factreton-Maitland areain recent months.The Kenny Roman Memorial Day will

start at 15:00 with the same venue alsohosting a “Schools Olympics” day for pri-mary school learners as part of the 100thbirthday celebrations of St John’s Prima-ry School in Kensington.The founder of Play Sport4Life, Miles

October, said he hoped that people whohad fond memories of Kenny Romansprinting in his heyday in the late sixtiesand early seventies would join the youngathletes on the day.Roman died in Brisbane, Australia, last

month, aged 69, after a long illness.

“Kenny left behind a legacy in athleticswhich deserves to be remembered,” Octo-ber said. “As a community organisation,wework hard to develop and nurture indi-viduals to serve as future role models forour community, involve more girls andwomen in sport, and encourage individu-als to become professional athletes.“What better way to showwhat an ideal

rolemodel could be than byholding up theachievements of Kenny Roman as sprintchampion and star baseball pitcher?“Hopefully among the young athletes

competing on the day, there are a fewwhowould go on to become a role model in ourcommunity.”October added that while they were

building on the future, the organisationwas also focussed on acknowledging pastachievements.“We cannot let the circumstances of our

past dictate that our history be forgotten.It has to be acknowledged.“In order for us to shape our future, we

need to know our past and the people whomade significant contributions in allwalks of life, including sport.”The organisation is also arranging for

a number of top athletes of yesteryear tobe part of the proceedings of theKennyRo-man Memorial Day.“It is going to be a roll-call of our best

from the past,” October said.Athletes will be competing in girls and

boys sections at u.14, u.16 and open levels.There will also be a march past.V For more information contact Nazlie Dollie on071 386 6573, email [email protected] or visitwww.playsport4life.org.

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]

SEAN CAMPBELL

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 5-1 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.
