Mundell improved his previous record of 4:04:54 (Zittau, Germany 25 April 2009) and fulfilled SASCOC and Athletics South Africa’s qualifying criteria for race walkers having to qualify only once at an international meeting.

 “I only had one chance for the 50km this year and I had to utilise it, no matter the conditions,” said the 28-year-old about the hot weather conditions. “I battled with the heat throughout the race, pouring water all over my body. It constantly evaporated each lap and dehydration and over-heating was a concern.”

After incurring muscle cramps from the 33km mark his pace slowed and he had to pick up the pace in order to finish in the goal time he set for himself, averaging 5 minutes per kilometre. Consistency helped Mundell through the last 10km allowing him to finish 26th overall.  “I had to dig really deep for the final kilometres, trusting in my support team, training and my mental willingness to embrace the pain and to take my body to a new level of discomfort, whilst many athletes were suffering around me.”

Mundell was not included in the 2009 World Championships team in Germanyafter recording his previous B-standard time on debut in 2009 in Zittau, Germany.  This will be Mundell’s first Olympic Games.

In the 20km walk Lebogang Shange had the best performance amongst the team finishing in 1:30.05 (77th).  Thami Hlatshawayo clocked1:30:58 while Wayne Snyman finished in1:32:16. Pierre de Villiers came through in1:34:03 while Armond Nel (ASWD) competed at his first international meeting clocking1:35:14.

The team will arrive at OR Tambo International Airport on Tuesday, 15 May landing at08:45 from Frankfurt.

The forum will provide an active means of communicating the latest developments and opportunities within education and skills training.  A key objective of this project is to match the supply of training providers with the demand from the business sector, organisations and individuals and to identify where the gaps in availability and provision exist. This is a very important issue for George and surrounding areas and affects society and business alike. Please get involved and join us at the pre-launch of the CIBE forum on Thursday, 17th May 2012, 18:00 at the George Civic Centre, Conference Room.

Dark Shadows

This comedy horror from Tim Burton stars Johnny Depp as an olden day vampire who awakens in the modern world and comes face to face with the ruined remains of his estate and his dysfunctional descendants who live there. Transformed into a vampire and buried alive 200 years ago after he spurned beautiful but vengeful Witch Angelique (Eva Green), playboy landowner Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) is suddenly unearthed when his tomb is inadvertently opened in the 1970′s. Returning to his former manor, Barnabas is horrified to find his home in a wretched state, and his descendants plagued by macabre secrets. Realising that restoring the family business is a way to rebuild the family home and bring them all together again, Barnabas sets about reconstructing his empire. However, he could do without the distraction of the still very much alive and beautiful as ever Angelique who suddenly re-appears on the scene.

The producers scoured theUKandMaineto find an appropriate fishing village in which to film Collinsport, but couldn’t find one that fit. Thus they constructed the whole town from scratch in Pinewood Studios,London.

Jonathan Frid, Lara Parker, David Selby and Kathryn Leigh Scott, who played Barnabas Collins, Angelique, Quentin Collins and Josette DuPres in the original 1960′s Dark Shadows TV show, appear in the ball at Collinwood Manor.

Josette duPres’s (Bella Heathcote) ghost scenes were shot in an underwater tank.

According to the press release issued on Monday, Saturday dawned with big ten to twelve foot waves wrapping in the bay for the final day of the South African Longboard Championships.

Undaunted, finalists took to the water to push the limits of riding a 9 foot surfboard in challenging conditions in pursuit of South Africa’s longboard title. After the last wave had been ridden and the judges had tallied the scores the coveted national crowns were claimed by Justin Bing (open men) and Bianca Buitendag (open women), who had to out-surf their competitors in high scoring heats.

“These guys and girls went out and proved that SA longboarding has a depth of talent that given the opportunity, any one of them, would do us proud on the international circuit,” said Brian Salter, contest director and chairperson of the Southern Cape Longboarding Association, who hosted this year’s South African Longboarding Championships.

The final heats were the culmination of five days of fiercely contested surfing in one ofSouth Africa’s largest surfing events. More than 200 surfers representing four coastal region from across the age spectrum, from as young as 10 years to those who remember surfing Victoria Bay in the late 1960s, participated in their respective age divisions. Each brought their own blend of traditional or progressive moves to longboard surfing.

“Each surfer can truly be proud of making it into the final round of the contest to add valuable points to the team’s final tally. Congratulations too all who won their respective divisions in great and challenging surf,” said Salter.

The team results went the way of Western Province, whose surfers took six of the thirteen titles, with the Eastern Province team second, followed by the Southern Cape and then KwaZulu Natal.

42nd Streetis the quintessential musical that changed the face ofHollywoodmovie making when it originally came out in 1933. Then when it was produced for the Broadway stage in 1980 it wowed the theatre audiences. It is a vibrant show with all the tap dancing you could possibly wish for in one evening.

This production has a cast of 26 local Georgians, who have been learning how to tap dance competently since January under the direction of Edwina Rapley, who is no stranger to theatre audiences in George. Once again her professionalism and enthusiasm brings out the best in all who work with her.

Edwina is working on this show with a new musical director, René Strydom who, along with several talented musicians, will be providing the Arts Theatre Company with an exceptional musical score, with such numbers as Lullaby of Broadway, Dames, Shuffle off to Buffalo, We’re in the Money and of course 42nd Street itself.

The show opens at the Arts Theatre inYork Streeton Wednesday 20th June and runs until Saturday 23rd June. Tickets are on sale now and can be booked by either calling Beatrice at the theatre box office  – 044 8743142 or at Computicket.  You will need to book early to avoid disappointment!

Pictured below is the42nd StreetCompany taking a break from rehearsals, with Peggy Sawyer (in Blue) and Julian Marsh (Dark suit) centre back.

The tournament teed off at the Montague Golf Course at Fancourt in George. It is the biggest corporate golf tournament in the world, with over one million golfers having competed over the past 19 years.

World Corporate Golf Challenge CEO Gose Gurra says, “We have all sorts of companies playing. We have companies playing in their own countries that are part of the stock market and some of the biggest companies in different countries.”

The event which has been held along the scenic Garden Route for three years in a row is also a huge boost for tourism and the regions economy.

The Western Cape Investment and Trade Promotion Agency says sports tourism is a growing industry.

Eden District Municipality Mayor Wessie van der Westhuizen says, “The district is very well known as a tourist destination and for that specific reason we’re welcoming any people in this area to assist us not only to fill the bed and breakfast places but also to assist us to develop tourism in our area.”

The competition ends today.
