‘Don’t invite bin miners’TIYESE JERANJI

Garbage mining has now become a causefor concern in Rondebosch and sur-

rounding areas.Residents who find it convenient to put

their wheelie bins outside the night beforerefuse collection day entice garbage minersto come and scrap through the bins.The Rondebosch Community Improve-

mentDistrict (RCID) ismaking aplea to resi-dents to act responsibly by not puttinghousehold refuse out at any time other thanon the morning of collection day.

Residents are also urged to not pile extragarbage next to the wheelie bins, as that at-tracts more people and makes the streetdirty.Garbage mining by people who come into

the area in large numbers searching for re-cyclable materials significantly adds to thelitter problem, not tomention being a threatto security in the area, the RCID claims.Shirley Aldum, RCID manager, says gar-

bage mining makes the place untidy andputs properties at risk. She is appealing toresidents not to put out their bins at nightor hours before they are collected.

“Garbage miners scrap through the bins,removing everything. Papers are left flyingand they are messing up the street. As longas garbage bins provide a source of incometo miners, it complicates efforts to deal withhomeless people and theft out of cars. Pettythieving, like stealing outside lights, brassnumbers andpost boxes,will continue, oftenleading to more serious criminal activity inthe area,” she says.Apart from the problemof garbagemining

Aldum adds that a bin can be used as a lad-der.“It’s not safe to leave your bin outside for

long. It can be used as a ladder and the min-ers jump to people’s properties and steal.Weshould all act responsibly andnot invite peo-ple to the area. This is something thatwe canavoid, so we have to work together to makethe area clean and to avoid petty stealing,”she says.Aldum is urging residents not to pile re-

cyclable refuse next to the bins but to ratheruse schools with recycling programmes.“In this area we are very fortunate that

practically every school has a recycling pro-gramme that directly benefits NGOs or theschool itself.”

Heideveld residents got a treaton Wednesday last week whenkite flyers preparing for theCape Town International KiteFestival showed off their skills.Here is Martin Voelker fromGermany (left) flying one of hiscreations. The official festivaltook place in Muizenberg overthe weekend, but wind andheavy rain led to the cancella­tion of the last day of the festi­val on Sunday. See story andmore photos on page 4.

List of placesto light rocketsFollowing a review of designated sitesfor the discharge of fireworks, the list

of approved sites across the city has in-creased from eight to 12.The City of Cape Town has approved

the 12 sites for the discharge of fireworksduring Guy Fawkes, Diwali and NewYear’s Eve celebrations. The list was ap-proved in consultation with the varioussubcouncils after a review of existingsites, which included community feed-back and looking at challenges experi-enced in previous years.In terms of the Community Fire Safety

bylaw, areas where fireworks are to bedischarged must be at least 100m frombuildings, roads and railway lines and atleast 20m from telephone and powerlines, trees or other overhead obstruc-tions, they must be at least 500m fromany petroleum depot, explosives maga-zine or gas cylinder, carsmust be parkedat least 100m away from the firing pointand all entrances and emergency exitsmust be identified and maintained.“A number of additional sites were

proposed by ward councillors, but thesedid notmeet the safety criteria and sowehad to reject them.“We have also removed Theo Marais

Park in Milnerton from the list of sitesfollowing objections from the public,”says JPSmith,mayoral committeemem-ber for safety and security.Smith says Sunrise Beach in Muizen-

berg has also been removed, in part dueto the traffic congestion.After consultation with the subcoun-

cils, the following sites have been ap-proved for the discharge of fireworks:. Tourism Centre, Athens Road, TableView beachfront. Wesfleur sports field, ReygersdalDrive, Atlantis. Bishop Lavis sports field, Lavis Drive,Bishop Lavis

. Metropolitan sports grounds, Melk-hout Street, Bonteheuwel. Delft Central sports grounds, MainRoad, Delft. Swartklip sports complex, SwartklipRoad, Mitchell’s Plain.

patrolled by City law enforcement andmetro police as well as a fire inspector.No-one under the age of 16 is permitted

to discharge fireworks and 23:00 is thecut-off time on both Guy Fawkes and Di-wali, with New Year’s Eve being the ex-ception.“I hope that residents can appreciate

the massive logistical exercise we dealwith every year, aswell as the costs asso-ciated with deploying staff to all of theseareas.We could look at designatingmoresites, but we simply do not have the bud-get or the resources,” Smith says.He appeals to the public to use fire-

works responsibly to prevent injuriesand also unnecessary inconvenience tothose residentswho do not participate insuch activities.“Wehave confiscated fireworks inpre-

vious years and issued fines for the ille-gal discharge of fireworks andwewill doso again this year if need be,“ addsSmith.V Anyone with information about the illegal saleor use of fireworks can report it to the metro policecall centre on 0860 765 423.

1000km for a hand to hold on toTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Truda Turner cycled fromKakamas in theNorthern Cape to Rondebosch to inspire

and empower others to do good and raisefunds for children with cancer.Arriving at the Red Cross War Memorial

Children’s Hospital after cycling the 1000kmdistance, she was joined by other cyclistsand hosted a party for some of the young pa-tients at the hospital.Her husband and brother accompanied

and helped her on the trip. The funds raisedwill be managed by My Child Has CancerTrust (MCHCT).Turner wasmotivated to do something for

others after she saw her sister-in-law sufferterribly from cancer. Her last words as shelay on her death bed pushed Turner to geton the bike.“‘If I can get out of this bed, I will do some-

thing for God and my fellow man.’ She wasnot only my sister-in-law; she was also mybest friend. Because of what she said I wasdetermined to do something good for man-kind,” Turner, from Keimoes, says.The decision to raise funds for this partic-

ular trustwas inspired by a friendwhobene-fited from the trust while her daughter re-ceived cancer treatment.

MCHCT was started by Deirdre Taylorand two other mothers to honour their chil-dren who had cancer. Taylor’s son was diag-nosed with cancer when he was five yearsold. She says she felt a gap in support for in-dividuals with similar experiences.“For most of that time, when people asked

me how I was, I just said I was fine. It waseasier to do that than to have to repeat theexplanations of what, why and how thingswere happening. You could say that I worea mask for the entire year that my son wasin treatment,” she says.Upon meeting another mother whose

child had cancer they were brought closerby their circumstances. They then plannedan event for their children.“We realised howmuch lighter we felt fol-

lowing a day of just being normal. In somereally strange way, this made the rest of thejourney easier.“Whenmy son finally completed his treat-

ment, the nagging to create something dif-ferent grew stronger and one night I had adream that felt so real. When I awoke fromthis dream, I knew exactly what the nameof the organisation needed to be and aspectsof what it was supposed to do. I also wokeup knowing that no matter how many rea-sons I could think up why it couldn’t work,that it would work,” she says.

With the creation of the trust she andother mothers started to reach out to moremothers across hospitals to offer theirhands to hold and a shoulder to cry on.They offer opportunities to be “normal”.

They help with things like groceries andelectricity vouchers and also provide in-

hospital meals.“Our most intangible support is that we

are able to be there for these families in away that allows them to feel normal, becausewe have been there. In Cancerville we arefamily,” she says.

Truda Turner and her sister Gerda cycle into the grounds of the Red Cross War MemorialChildren’s Hospital. Truda cycled about 1000km to raise money for a trust which supportsparents who have children with cancer.

Truda Turner (in front) was met by friends and family at the hospital after cycling there from Kakamas.

Plans for parkafter vandalismTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Everything is back to normal at the RoverRoad Park in Rondebosch after its fence

had been vandalised by one of the residentswho felt that the fence was illegal and un-necessary.

It is alleged that the vandal had, on sever-al occasions, demonstrated destructive, an-tisocial behaviour in Rover Park.

In light of this vandalism the RondeboschCommunity Improvement District (RCID)felt forced to get the police involved. Acharge ofmalicious damage to propertywaslaid against the vandal.

After the vandalism a petition went outand people participated as they were con-cerned about their safety. Through the peti-tion the fence got fixed.

The purpose of the Rover Park fence is tokeep the area safe. Itwas legally erected andpaid for by residents.

The fence restricts access to and from thecanal or M5 and stops criminals from easilyaccessing the area. A noticeable decline incrime was noted after the installation of thefence.

As this issue has been put to bed variousactivities are planned so that people will en-joy the park. The park will be made dog- andchild-friendly for instance.

Shirley Aldum, RCID manager, says a lotof things are planned for the park.

“We are working on putting poo bags upand having bins fixed, so people are very en-thusiastic and excited about it. Some peoplewant an off-leash dog park and we are look-ing into it. The park is for everyone and wewant people to enjoy it.”

A part of Rover Road Park’s fence which had been damaged was repaired after residentssigned a petition to get it fixed. Now that everything is back to normal there are severalevents planned for the park.

A host of up-and-coming local fashion de-signers will be showcasing their designs aspart of a special night market in Cape Townhosted by the Cape Craft and Design Insti-tute (CCDI) and the Cape Town FashionCouncil (CTFC) on Thursday.

The night market, themed “Fashionfierce”, celebrates some of the best in localfashion and accessory design.

Over 20 small businesses will feature onthe evening, offering a variety of products.These include Sho Stylish Fashions (wom-en’s clothing), Falling Man (men’s cloth-ing), Maev Rose Jewellery Design and EonHoon (jewellery), 37 Sandals (shoes), SexySocks (accessories) and Beach Cult (swim-wear).

Visitors to the night market can discoverthe emerging creative talent, meet with de-signers and artists and enjoy food.

The CCDI night market has become a pop-ularpart of themonthlyFirstThursdaypro-gramme. The market aims to ignite the cre-ative culture and community in the easternpart of the city and brand the area as a desti-nation for design events.

The CCDI and CTFC, as developmentagencies in the Western Cape, play a rolein the local creative sector by developingand supporting designers and small busi-nesses.V The night market runs on the corner of Harringtonand Barrack streets on each first Thursday of themonth from 17:00 until 21:00.

Deep South launches new albumFrom Switzerland to Cape Town’s “Deep

South”, aworld ofmusicwill be on stagewhen the album Heartland is launched atthe Reeler Theatre in Rondebosch on Sat-urday 14 November.Heartland is the secondalbum from local

world music duo Deep South, made up ofNoordhoek’s Dave Ledbetter and KalkBay’s Ronan Skillen.The instrumental band draws on the dis-

tinctive sounds of musicians across theglobe. They produced their first album, AWaiting Land, with some of South Africa’stopmusicians, but this time round, they’vemoved a step up, by working with some ofEurope’s most sought-after world musicmusicians.Outside of Deep South, Ronan and Dave

are both formidable musicians in theirown right.Best known for his sessionwork as a jazz

musician, guitarist and pianist Dave alsofronted the Truly Fully Hey Shoo WowBand in the ’80s and ’90s. Respected amonglocalmusicians, Dave has the unique abili-ty to perform across genres. With DeepSouth, he’s distilled his vast knowledge ofjazz, folk, funk and blues into an acousticworld music blend. He’s performed withMiriam Makeba, Ray Phiri, Hein van deGeyn, Sibongile Khumalo and JimmyDludlu, among others.Multi-instrumentalist Ronan (tabla, per-

cussion and didgeridoo) is an enthusiast ofglobal rhythms and known for producingcurious sounds and tempos with his inno-vative hybrid drum kit. He specialises inworld music with “groove and a sense ofspace”. Other than Deep South, he’s co-

founder of Tonik, the Swiss-SA trio A.SpellandHotWater. He’s performedwith Rodri-guez, Johnny Clegg and Freshlyground, toname a few.

Heartland is a dream come true for thetwo, who have been admirers of Swedishbassist and producer Björn Meyer foryears. It only took a listen to A Waiting

Land and a brief meeting for him to agreeto produce and performon the follow-up al-bum.The Bern-based artist has featured on

hundreds of recordings – notablywith gen-re-defying record label ECM. He recordedand produced Heartland in Switzerland,with the help of the Swiss Arts Council(Pro Helvetia).The album is made up of 10 original pie-

ces that feature names like Jan GalegaBrönnimann (bass clarinet) of Brinkman-ship, Samuel Würgler (trumpet and flugel-horn) of Balkan band Traktorchester andFredrik Gille (tambourine, frame drumand percussion), a specialist in flamencoand Arabic percussion.The musicians opted for a traditional re-

cording set-up – all in one room, live, withall its transparency.The result is anhonest reflection of some

of Dave’s best compositions to date.Deep South will be launching the album

at the Reeler Theatre at Rondebosch Boys’High School on Saturday 14 November at19:30. They’ll be joined by Joburg-based ex-perimental trumpet player Marcus WyattandShaunJohannes, Deep South’s regularbassist, who is also known for his sessionwork with some of the country’s top jazzacts.Theband says listeners canexpect an im-

peccable performance of acoustic instru-mental music, set in a landscape of soundwith plenty of space, funky grooves and theodd ghost note.V Tickets for the performance cost R100 each fromQuicket.co.za or R120 at the door. The Heartland al­bum will be on sale at the launch.

Bead counters win bigTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Five children aged betweenseven and eleven years from

Abagility Maths Club in Ron-debosch performed well in theAMSASA National Abacus andMental Arithmetic Champion-ship in Gauteng, winning twotrophies.

Naweed Essack of WynbergBoys’ Junior School won a topachiever trophy in his level andJordan Schoeman of St Joseph’sMarist College in Rondeboschwon a champion trophy forcoming second in his level. Thetwo were also invited to attendthe GAJSMA International Ab-acus and Mental ArithmeticChampionship in Singaporenext year.

A total of 104 children from allover the country wrote two setexams at the championship inGauteng. With a dead silenceduring the exams all that couldbe heard was the click, click,clicking of abacus beads beingswiftly moved.

Each child had only six minutes to do asmany sums as they could on their abacusand only two minutes to write a mentalmaths paper by visualising their abacus intheir minds. Each paper contained 40 com-plicated sums of varying difficulty depend-ent on the children’s level of experience.

Tracy Hauptfleisch of Abagility MathsClub says it was extremely exciting and in-tense to watch the pupils perform at thechampionship.

“I was in awe of their incredible skill un-der such pressure..”

These students have been learning theJapanese abacus technique for up to threeyears. To compete at this level, childrenhave to show focus, determination and driveas they have to practise the skill daily.

The competition tested various levels ofdifficulty, with the advanced students hav-ing to multiply two-digit numbers by two-digit numbers (for example 84 x 75) and divi-

sion of four-digit numbers by two-digit num-bers (for example 4682 / 68) on their abacus,and to mentally calculate sums like 2506 /7 and 358 x 9 in seconds.

“Children who have achieved a level ofproficiency in this technique are able to cal-culate these answers in their heads by visu-alising the workings on a mental abacus, inthe blink of an eye. Children develop greatself-esteem and self-confidence and enhancetheir general mental acumen,” she says.

Children who participated in the Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Championship recently.

It’s that time of year when men pack away their razorsand start growing – facial hair, that is.And while grooming your moustache to be the best it

canbe is the aim for thenextmonth, it’s vital to rememberthe reason behind the movement.The simple truth is that it’s not a competition to see

who has the biggest beard.The point of Movember, now an international annual

movement, is to create awareness of men’s health duringthe month of November.Originally to getmen talking about prostate cancer, the

movement has now grown to encompass testicular can-cer, mental health and physical inactivity.This year, men are being encouraged to get moving for

the entire month to tackle the latter.So stop looking in the mirror, round up your friends

and enjoy a friendly game of sport.And instead of bragging over your ’tash while having

a beer with the boys afterwards, take the time to talkabout your health issues.One in every 23 South African men will develop pros-

tate cancer in his lifetime, while testicular cancer re-mains the most common cancer in men.As many as 510 000 men die from suicide globally each

year – which equates to one a minute – and over threemillions deaths each year are attributable to insufficientphysical activity.Growing impressive facial hair is not enough – it’s time

to tell your friends why you’re growing a moustache.Instead of just admiring each others’ hair growth, it’s

time to dealwith the big issues: Share your personal expe-riences of stress, anxiety and depression and open upabout your struggles with weight loss.It’s time to talk about the fear you felt at visiting the

doctor and encourage each other to get regular medicalcheck-ups.

Privileged classmade smart choicesLast week’s editorial comment (“Privi-lege”, People’s Post, 27 October) refers:The so-called privileged class got wherethey are by making smart decisions.One of the first was to elect leaders

who were competent instead of corrupt.The other was that they didn’t have

more children than they could providefor and those children had father figuresso that they didn’t have to join a gang totry and form an identity. This has led todrugs and violence. Are the so-calledprivileged to blame for that? Thisparticular social evil isn’t just a SouthAfrican problem but is a problem wherea society shirks its responsibility asparents.So now we come to education. Every-

one wants to be taught in his mothertongue. Unfortunately the mother tonguefor the majority is a recent phenomenonas it wasn’t until the 1820s that reverendMoffat of the London Missionary Societyactually created a written language fornon-white people.So more poor choices will eventually

lead to more poor people.As it is, the privileged class carry the

burden of providing RDP homes, freeelectricity and free water (why do youthink we pay so much?). Many pension-ers are being forced out of their homesbecause they can’t afford the rates thatgo up every year.What more are we supposed to do?And what a disaster our tertiary

education has become. When the minerswanted a 10% increase most peoplethought that was okay, but how are oureducators to get an increase if fees don’tgo up? The competent ones will findposts overseas and our universities willwither.Far too many people want to go to

university as they think this is the wayto a job where no actual work is in-volved. Traditionally, only a smallpercentage of people (the really bright)went to university; the rest got jobs.Unfortunately, over the past 20 years theeducation system has been a completefailure and the vast majority will onlyever be able to do menial tasks as theyaren’t able to read and write.

BRIAN HOARE,Plumstead

Neighbours can help on rubbish dayI have read the letter “Just minutesto clean up rubbish” by Lynn vanLeeve (People’s Post, 27 October) .May I take a moment to share what

we as residents do in Welcome Estate,Athlone.We have a very successful “bin

buddy” system, which basicallyentails: If you are working leave yourbin with a neighbour on his premises.Your neighbour who is home will

take out your bin on arrival of thecollection trucks and bring it onto hispremises until you get home.

This will alleviate unwantedvisitors in the road, leave zero messto clean up and avoid bin theft andthose characters who are there to seewho is home and who not. This willlead to fewer burglaries in the area.It is also a great way to get to

know who our neighbours are. Highwalls, electric fencing, big dogs, etc.are cutting off our neighbourlyinteractions.It is worth trying.

INGRID WYNGAARDAthlone

Guy Fawkes– worth it?Recently our neighbourhood has beendisturbed by the sound of firecrackers.This is an annual practice leading up

to Guy Fawkes Day on 5 November, aday that has its origin overseas and tomy mind has no importance in ourcommunities for a number of reasons.For one, already people and the poor

animals are traumatised by the sound offirecrackers as with some you cannotdifferentiate if from gunshots.Another reason on the day is that a

number of children stay away fromschool out of fear that mischievous oneswill smear them with old paint, eggs or,in some cases, dangerous objects betweentheir fingers. They have no regard if theyspoil your clothes or injure you.Last year I witnessed a young parent

with an axe in hand going after someyoungsters because his small child wassmeared as she was standing innocentlyat the gate.The morning after you notice a lot of

paint puddles and other markings on theroad, electric boxes and other council orprivate property, a complete eyesorewhich leads to many rands to “fix”.I know there is a Council bylaw that

prohibits these activities or the selling ofit and that it can happen at certainallocated areas but the law enforcementagencies are under-resourced, not proact-ive and simply don’t have the capacityfor it. People still sell these things atshops or stalls.I think the biggest factor in bringing

this down lies squarely at the feet ofparents.For example, we never bought our

children any toy guns or firecrackers.Admittedly, they are no angels but it wasa conscious decision as responsibleparents so that the positive practice canbe continued when they are parents.I am quite sure that if every parent

decides not to give in, we can lead amuch quieter life during this traumatisedtime.

SEAN CAMPBELL

After beatingGrassy Park Cru-saders 3-2 a few weeks ago,Westridge Yankees put in a

good performance against Silver-tree on Saturday to beat them 5-2at Groenewald Road sports field inSouthfield.Westridge took a 3-0 lead at the

start of the second innings throughhits by Casley Ripepi, Jude de Gee,Jesse Hugo and Veon Rix with Sil-vertree committing two errors.Silvertree bounced back in the

fourth innings withMiguelWilsonhitting in Marvin Mahoney (baseon balls) and Dayton Williams (hitby pitch) to bring the score 3-2 forWestridge going into the fifth in-nings.Westridge immediately extend-

ed its lead to 5-2 at the top of thefifth innings with hits by JaysonRipepi, Gwyn Petersen and CasleyRipepi. De Gee contributed with asacrifice bunt and Silvertree reliefpitcher Dean Jacobs did not helpby hitting two Westridge hitterswith his pitches.A combination of consistent

pitching, good hitting (seven hits),some skilful base stealing (five intotal) and effective bunting epito-mised the collective efforts fromWestridge.Jayson Ripepi (5 Inn, 23 BF, 2 H,

3 BB, 1 HP and 3 K) started for

Westridge Yankees in the absenceof preferred starter Luwayne duPlessis and was supported by hisbrother Kyle Ripepi (4 Inn, 14 BF,1 H, 1 BB and 3 K) who pitched thelast four innings. Petersen andCasley Ripepi (both 2 for 5) contri-buted well with the bat.

Roberts on moundSilvertree surprised when it

started with Anrich Roberts(4.1 Inn, 22 BF, 5 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 1 HPand 2 K) on the mound but he hadto be relieved by Dean Jacobs(2.2 Inn, 14 BF, 1 H, 2 HP and 6 K).Jacobswas also relieved byDaytonWilliams (2 Inn, 6 BF, 1 H, 1 HP,1 K).Silvertree only accumulated

three scattered hits.

Too close to call for Killarney this weekendADRIAN PHEIFFER

With several championships still to bedecid-ed, the tension at Killarney is mounting asSaturday’s final round of the popular Wing-field Motors-sponsored Power Series drawscloser.Table View driver Paul Simon is one of

thosewhose chances are balanced on a knifeedge. The reigning Bold Marine GTi Chal-lenge titleholder, Simon had his lead in thecurrent series slashed when he had to settlefor third place in his class in the previousround.However, he still holds a narrow 4-point

advantage over Zakkie Hendricks withCraig du Toit further back in third place.With two drivers tied in the lead, the Mut-

luBatteriesClassicCarSeries is evencloser.Despite competing in different classes Trev-or Momberg (Ford Capri) and Herman deKock (Ford Escort) are level with 45 points.Dawie Joubert is every Killarney fan’s

current hero after his magnificent recentperformances. During last month’s nationalExtreme Festival meeting, the Lotus Exigedriver took on the visiting Charl Arangiesin his multimillion rand V10 LamborghiniGallardo. Joubert actually passed the Italiansupercar in the KTM corner before being

forced to retire with mechanical problems.These have now been rectified and on Sat-

urday he is going to be back in action andfacing opposition from Sports and GT cham-pion Francis Carruthers (Juno SS3), Blaa-uwberg’s Craig Jarvis (V10 Dodge Viper)and Johan Engelbrecht (Porsche GT2R).The Midas Clubman final promises to be

a BMW-Audi shootout with possible Volks-wagen interference. The starring roles inare Alex and André Johnson in their AudiQuattros as they take on theBeemers ofDan-ie van Niekerk and Junaid Slamang. Thewild card is a VW Jetta in the hands offormer stock car champion Jesse Huggett.The V8 Masters championship leader

Richard Schreuder is another competitormaking his mark. He can expect oppositionfrom reigning titleholder Marcel Angel andvisiting British ace Steven Young.The closely contestedMakita Formula Su-

percar events that are being run in conjunc-tion with the Masters V8s are likely to befought out between drivers Dayne Angel,Nick Adcock, Brad Wadeley, Gareth Easomand Andrew Moffitt.And with separate events for a large field

of CarsUnlimitedFineCars, the near-recordnumber of entries should provide a fittingend to the season.

Cycling enthusiasts can look forward tofour days of top racing with this year’s SAOmnium Track Championship, an inter-provincial and Grand Prix event at Afri-ca’s largest indoor cycling complex, theBellville Velodrome, from tomorrow toSunday.

The Pedal Power Association (PPA) ex-tended a helping hand to Western Cape Cy-cling by coming onboard as sponsor for thechampionship, followinganurgentplea forfunding help in the lead-up to the event.

Some 150 cyclists are expected to partici-pate, including regional teams from Gaut-eng, the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and theEastern Cape, as well as a large turnout of

local riders.“Western Cape Cycling is delighted that

the Pedal Power Association has steppedupas theprimary sponsorof theOmnium,”says Corné Bence, chairperson of WesternCape Cycling.

The Western Province Cycling Associa-tion, regional body for cycling in CapeTown and organiser of the track champion-ship, sees thePPAasakeypartner indevel-oping cycling in the region.

“The PPA is committed to promote cy-cling and the interests of cyclists,” saysPPA chairperson Steve Hayward.

“Although a large portion of our focuslies with recreational cycling and cycling

advocacy, we are really happy that we canassist competitive cyclists in this way,” headds.

“We wish Western Cape Cycling successwith the Omnium and championship andlook forward to seeing some great racingon the track.”

An omnium consists of multiple races.The omnium was reintroduced into theWorld Championship as a five-race formatfor men in 2007 and for women in 2009.

In 2010 the omnium was changed by theUCI to include an elimination race whilethedistances of the eventswere lengthenedto favour endurance cyclists.

Since last year, the omnium consists of

the scratch race, individual pursuit, elimi-nation race, time trial, flying lap andpoints race.

Participants receive points for eachevent, with the winner of the omnium be-ing the rider with the highest total numberof points at the end of the whole champion-ship.

Track events have recently attractedmore than the usual road riders, who seeit as an opportunity to improve their form.

Spectators are welcome to attend any ofthe races and entrance is free.
