WYNBERG
WID to serve larger areaASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Following requests from property ownersthe Wynberg Improvement District
(WID) has proposed to extend its boundarywhich would make its operation more effi-cient and effective.
According to WID manager Athol Swan-son the proposed extention forms part of theWID’s five-year plan up to 2020.
Swanson says this business plan extends
the services to the CBD properties and con-tinues south from York and Wilson roads toConstantia Road and includes propertiesalong Main Road as well as those along Les-ter Road between Park and Rockley roads.
More defined boundary“This extended area would give the WID
a more defined boundary (the whole of Wyn-berg Main Road),” he says.
Swanson says the current operation andtop-up service will be extended to this pro-
posed area at the same additional rate as theapproved commercial rate for the existingarea.
“Although the business plan continues tofocus primarily on cleaning and security,these are crucial to the area where there areabout 100 000 people moving through the in-terchange area daily to their places of work,residence or social activity.
“Wynberg also has the regional court andhome affairs. It is therefore critical that visi-ble policing, patrolling and on-going clean-
ing of public areas are maintained,” he says.
Going forwardSwanson says with the proposal the WID
will continue to assist with revitalisation,promotion and urban management.
It also provides an environment that issafe and clean.
It offers visitors and the Wynberg commu-nity a pleasant shopping, working and livingexperience by topping up the municipal ser-vices provided by the City.
The comic opera The Mikado – notseen in Cape Town for more than 20years – will be performed in theArtscape Theatre from this Saturdayto Sunday 26 July. The production ishosted by the Cape Town Gilbertand Sullivan Society and theperformers will be accompanied bythe Cape Town PhilharmonicOrchestra. Pictured here are the“three little maids”, PeepBo (playedby Carmen Kinsey), YumYum (KarenWilson Harris) and PittiSing (KarléBriedenhann). Tickets for the showare available at Computicket.

FISHING
Permits comeup for grabs againNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
As public participation opens on the up-coming fishing rights allocation proc-
ess, transformation of the industry is takingcentre stage.
The department of agriculture, forestryand fisheries is holding consultation ses-sions on 10 sector policies, which are set toexpire this year, as well as a policy on fishprocessing.
The drafts were published last month andare up for public comment.
For the inshore sectors – which includelobster, net and abalone fishing – rights willbe split between small-scale fishers andlarge-scale companies.
This portion has yet to be decided, projectmanager Sue Middleton says, but is expect-ed to be announced in October or Novem-ber.
Always a controversial topic, says Mid-dleton, is the balance between awardingrights to historical holders and encourag-ing transformation, with which the depart-ment has been mandated.
“It’s about balancing new entrants andcurrent rights holders. The fishing sector isaging and needs to let the youth and newpeople in,” she says.
Adequate inclusionOne of the criteria used to promote trans-
formation is allocation according to race.This will see the majority of rights allocatedto black-owned businesses, with less than atenth going to businesses with colouredowners.
Hout Bay resident Davina Jonathan saystransformation is happening through BEEin all sectors, but coloured communities arenot being adequately included.
“Why are only 9% of the rights being giv-en to coloured fisherman? They should beincluded under the Constitution,” she says.
The process is also excluding small busi-nesses, Jonathan believes, as they can’tcompete with commercial fisheries.
“Small businesses are often in the formof a co-op working with only two boats.They can’t pull in the same tonnage as acommercial enterprise. They also don’thave the same vessel accessibility and haveonly smaller five-metre boats. The currentsystem is excluding the small man and theyaren’t given the opportunity to grow andmove up,” she says.
At a public meeting in Sea Point lastweek, Armin Weimar of the Wild BenguelaHarvest company, who had been in the in-dustry for 43 years, commented that fourcategories should be created for applicants,which would encourage this transforma-tion.
Different scoresHe believes categories should be created
for those who previously owned rights in asector, applicants with rights in other sec-tors, company applicants and then new en-trants.
“New entrants would be, for instance, fivecrewmen from a lobster boat that have fish-ed as a crew for their whole life and havenow formed a company,” he says.
These categories should be scored differ-ently to promote small-scale fishers receiv-ing rights alongside major companies, hebelieves.
Fees up 26%Up for comment are also draft application
forms and application fees, which have in-creased by 26%. This is because there hasbeen no increase in the last ten years, Mid-dleton explains. However, small-scale fish-ers will not be required to pay these fees.
The application process is expected tocost the department R45m, with R10m re-covered through the application fees.
The results of the application process willbe announced in February next year.V Public consultation meetings will take place at themultipurpose hall in Ocean View and the Hout Baycivic centre on Monday 20 July between 10:00 andnoon. On Tuesday 21 July a meeting will take placein Fish Hoek between 10:00 and noon.
The fishing rights allocation process is now open for public consultation. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

In an effort to revive a local neighbourhoodwatch the existingmembers are calling onmore young people to join the organisation.Andrew Lillie, chairperson of the Plum-stead Neighbourhood Watch, says over thepast few years they have struggled to getmembers who were willing to serve on theexecutive committee and be involved inrunning the Watch.“This year was different in that we hadmembers volunteering to stand on the exec-utive committee and, for the first time inthree years, have had a full committee,” hesays. He adds the last annual meeting wasvery well attended and well supported.“Threemembers from theprevious commit-tee were re-elected and two new membersjoined the committee. The two new mem-bers are younger people with new ideas anda willingness to make a contribution,” hesays.Lillie hopes that the new committee, withsome new blood, will make a difference inso far as the running of the Watch is con-cerned. “Our two new members are pre-pared to make a difference,” he says.
Ride alongsBarry Schuller, the new operations man-ager, has shared with the Watch what hewould like to achieve in the year ahead.This includes having a stable section leaderfor each of the seven sections in the Plum-stead Neighbourhood Watch.“Each section should have a core of dedi-cated patrollers,” he says. He suggests to getmore young people involved by means of“ride alongs” to quell their fears of being onpatrol.Hewants to empower patrollerswith
quarterly presentations and have threemore licence plate recognition camera loca-tions in the area, linked to the control room.
Community spiritThe new vice-chairperson will be focus-sing on creating a community spirit andfundraising efforts. Natasha Wells Van derMerwe plans on creating a community spir-it by hosting events for people to get to knoweach other.
“Create a community where everyoneknows their neighbours and their neigh-bourhood,” she says.She alsowants to find awayof gettingpeo-ple from behind their high walls and gatesand get them to socialise.“Through this heightened sense of com-munity we hope that more people will bewilling to patrol, as more visible patrollerson our streets means a safer community forall of us,” Wells Van der Merwe says.

Granny steps up to trip of a lifetimeASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
With a spring in her step a 75-year-oldgrandmother is walking to fulfil her
last wish on her bucket list.Dreyersdal residentKayStemmet is raising
funds to take 10 people with her to the “holyland” by walking 300km.Stemmet is planning on raising about
R300 000 to set out on the trip to Israel.She started her initiative last year by
walking 5km every second day and has sofar has walked about 100km, which in-cludes walking to the city centre twice andonce to Simon’s Town.“I have always loved being active and
walking is refreshing for me. It keeps megoing and so I thought it would be a goodway for me to raise the funds needed forthe trip,” she says.Stemmet plans to take along with her a
group of women from various communi-ties, including Mitchell’s Plain, Khayelit-sha, Grassy Park, BlueDowns, Bridgetownand Phillipi.“I have not yet approached thesewomen,
but I have chosen them as they are peoplewho give back to their communitiesthroughvariousprojects that theymanage.They are women who never expect any-thing in return and never ask to be ac-knowledged for the work they do,” shesays.Stemmet says once she has raised all the
funds she will approach the women and in-vite them on her trip.“I want to surprise them with the trip
and it will be up to them to decide whetherthey would like to join me,” she says.Stemmet has raised about R20 000 since
she started the initiative; money that wasgiven toher throughdonations frompeoplewho know what she is trying to do.She says she is now more determined
than ever to reach her goal. She is callingon the public to help her realise her dream.“I have calculated how many kilometres
I would need to walk before the end of themonth and if I can do about 60km a weekI will meet my deadline,” she says.Stemmet explains that if she can get the
public to donate about R1000 per km towardsher initiative she will be able to raise all thefunds needed for the trip.“I amnot asking people to individually do-
nate R1000 per km, but if a group of about10 people could donate R100 each toward theR1000 per km then I will reach my target.However, any donation is welcome” shesays.Her back-up plan is to extend the fundrais-
ing to the end of August.“I have to be realistic about it and if I am
unable to raise all the funds at the end of themonth I will continue to walk until I have,”she says determinedly.

Police arrest twofor murderThe police have arrested two of the threesuspects connected to the murder and
robbery of a Congolese man in Hout Bay.The 27-year-old man was walking homewhen he was approached by the three sus-pects.Warrant officer Tanya Lesch, spokesper-son of Hout Bay police, says the victim wasrobbed of his cellphone and stabbed onWednesday last week at about 15:00.Station commander Lieutenant-ColonelBongani Mtakati held a meeting with thecommunity of Imizamo Yethu, includingCongolese nationals, when he said the com-munity was informed not to take the law in-to their own hands.The two suspects appeared in the Wyn-berg Magistrate’s Court yesterday on char-ges of murder.Meanwhile Dan Plato, provincial minis-ter of community safety, says the “excessiveviolence used in the robbery is furthercause for serious concern”.“The nature of the crimeswarrant a deep-er investigation by the provincial policemanagement on the police’s crime intelli-gence ability to detect, monitor and prevent
vigilante attacks by being aware of commu-nity police relations – a lack of such rela-tions should be addressed before communi-ties turn to criminality themselves,” hesays.Plato says though there is a serious caseto be made for the “apparent lack of policevisibility, fuelling the policing dissatisfac-tion and frustrations which are associatedwith either vengeance attacks” or with in-creased feelings of being unsafe in publicspaces, as in the Hout Bay incident, “the po-lice are not solely to blame for these mur-ders”.“Safety is everyone’s responsibility andthese murders must be condemned by all ofus,” Plato says.He adds that “safety cannot be created bytaking the law into one’s own hands”.“Murder is a crime and I trust that the po-lice investigation will identify the murder-ers who will face the full might of the law.Vigilantism is a crime and it will not be tol-erated by law enforcement agencies. Any-one involved in any incident of vigilantekillings becomes a criminal themselves,”he says.

Fewer pipe burstsacross the cityThe City of Cape Town has heard of fewer
pipe bursts in the first fivemonths of theyear.
This, the City says, is thanks to its pipereplacement programme, intensified main-tenance efforts and pressure managementinitiatives.
In total 2330 pipe bursts were repaired bythe City from July last year to the end ofMay – 614 fewer than the same period in theprevious year. The City also says that 24bursts per 100km of piping were reportedover the 2014/2015 financial year, comparedto 31 per 100km of piping in 2013/2014.
The City says the good news can been putdown to its focus on both pressure manage-ment and pipe replacement and rehabilita-tion. Extensive implementation of waterpressure management systems in variousareas, including Langa, Bishop Lavis, Re-treat, Crossroads and Pinelands, alsohelped.
“It is estimated that 42 000kF of water issaved every day through our pressureman-agement programme. This is the equivalentof 17 Olympic-sized swimming pools,” saysErnest Sonnenberg, mayoral committeemember for utility services.
Programmes throughout the city focus onreplacing infrastructure in problem areas,aswell as in areaswhere thepiping is reach-ing the end of its design life.
“The City’s replacement programme hasseen the replacement of a total of nearly37km of our network so far this year. Thepipeline replacement programme improvesservice delivery to residents andbusinessesas new pipes minimise the number of pipebursts and water disruptions.
“CapeTown is awater-scarce city and ourwork to repair, replace and upgrade waterpipes has helped us secure water in CapeTown for the foreseeable future,” concludesSonnenberg.
Dance as classroomThe ballet A Spartacus of Africa has turnedthe theatre into a classroom for over 2000pupils from urban and rural schools in thecity.The Cape Town education-focused pro-
gramme, which took place in June at theArtscape Theatre, saw pupils from previ-ously disadvantaged areas enter the worldof dance theatre to receive a visual learningexperience. Local schools involved in theproject included Battswood Arts Centre,Red River Primary School, Tafelsig Second-ary, Fairmount,WynbergGirls’ High,Wyn-berg, Norman Henshilwood, South Penin-sula and Beacon Hill high schools.
Students participated in a question andanswer session with Spartacus leadroledancers, Andile Ndlovu, a South Africanwho has been with the Washington Balletfor six years, and Michaela Griffin.Prior to watching the production they
viewed a ten-minute behind-the-scenes doc-umentary, giving them an overview of theorigins and evolution of the re-choreo-graphed production by Veronica Paeper.The video also showed them various profes-sional opportunities available in the artsand related production industries.The dancers were accompanied by the
Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.

UCT is most influentialTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
TheUniversity of Cape Town has taken thetop spot as the best university in Africa
when it comes to research.The university came first as its research
has the strongest worldwide influence of allAfrican universities.This ranking is determined by how often
African universities’ research papers are re-ferred to and cited by other academics acrossthe globe.
RankingsThe rankings were revealed by global
higher education experts Times Higher Edu-cation last week. UCT had an overall scoreof 99.90 between 2009 to 2013 to place it at thetop spot.South African universities dominate the
top five spots and several othersmake it intothe top 15 of the rankings. Second in the lotis the University of the Witwatersrand with99.76 in the same period. Third place went toMakerere University in Uganda with 99.72.The University of Stellenbosch took fourthplace with a score of 99.72.To be included, an institution must have
published aminimumof 500 research papersin the five-year period assessed with at least50 papers per year.
SummitThe full table, which contains the top 30
universities in the region, will be revealedat the inaugural TimesHigher EducationAf-rica Universities Summit, which will takeplace at the end of the month in Johannes-burg.
Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Edu-cation World University Rankings, says:“This is an experimental and preliminaryranking based solely on research, and onlyon one aspect of research – how many timesresearch papers are cited by other academ-ics.Whenwe develop a full Africa university
ranking, we expect to addmanymore indica-tors, examining things like a university’seconomic contribution, its civic engagementand of course its teaching. So the Africa Uni-versities Summit presents the perfect oppor-tunity to help shape this future ranking,” hesays.
University of Cape Town is the best on African soil when it comes to research excellency.
With a high unemployment rate across thecountry, the City of Cape Town is leavingno stone unturned in trying to create jobopportunities.In the current financial year the munici-
pality hopes to help thousands of unem-ployed residents with short- to medium-term jobs through its expanded publicworks programme (EPWP).According to a statement the City aims
to create 42 500 temporary jobs through theEPWP programme which will see 2500more people being employed than in theprevious financial year.The EPWP is a national government ini-
tiative launched in 2004,with theaimof giv-ing unemployed South Africans a hand upthrough temporary jobs to earn some formof income, but also to acquire skills thatcould make them more employable.Since 2011, the City has created more
than 140 000 temporary jobs. By the end ofJune next year, the total should be close to180 000. The dedicated budget in the lastfour financial years, including the new fi-nancial year, stands at R466m.Suzette Little, mayoral committee mem-
ber for social development and early child-hood development, says the various Citydepartments ubmit plans as to how theywill contribute to the scheme every year.The type of work opportunities include
administrative help, community care, riv-er and alien vegetation clearing, stonema-sonrywork, generalwork supporting exist-ing service delivery projects such as clean-ing and minor maintenance as well asyouth development work.Currently, there are 402 701 people regis-
tered on the City’s job seekers database.All unemployed residents who are inter-
ested and willing to work on the pro-gramme are required to register at theirnearest subcouncil office to be consideredfor opportunities. Job seekers are also re-minded toupdate their contact informationif it changes and to visit the subcouncil offi-ces once a year.

World best join local chess fightREMO ANDREWS
The battle lines were drawn atthe Cape Sun Hotel last weekas some of the world’s strong-
est chess players gathered to con-test this year’s South African OpenChess Festival.
The event was supported by theWestern Cape department of cul-tural affairs and sport.
Advocate Lyndon Bouah, chiefdirector of sport and recreation,says: “In developing a winning na-tion it is important to improve in-ternational sports successes bysupporting events at all levels.
“Achieving an active and win-ning nation is underpinned by anenabling environment.
“The staging of this event at theCape Sun is part of our campaignto bring big sport events to theWestern Cape.”
South Africa’s first ever grand-master, Kenny Solomon, markedhis return to competition on SouthAfrican soil, which was also hisfirst tournament on home soil afterofficially receiving the title ofgrandmaster earlier this year.
Solomon, originally from Mitch-ell’s Plain and a previous winnerof the tournament, placed fourth inthis year with a score of 8.5.
“It was a tough tournament witha lot of strong players. I am happythat we were able to have fourgrandmasters participating thisyear,” he says.
“It is important that foreigngrandmasters participate in SouthAfrican chess events – this is how
chess can grow in our country.”The tournament also incorporat-
ed the SA schools individual chesschampionship. The championshipsaw some of the best junior playersin the country come up againsteach other.
Former national junior teamcoach Calvin Klaasen believes thatyoung players have an opportunityto make a career of the game if thesupport shown at the SA open con-tinues to grow.
“It’s important for young playersto identify with heroes, to havesomething to strive for.
“There are limited opportunitiesfor young players in South Africato progress to a professional levelat the moment, but that can changeif we are supported correctly.
“Kenny’s grandmaster title isjust step one in South Africa be-coming a powerful chess country,”he says.
Connect with the worldSolomon, who now lives in Italy,
believes that events of this natureneed to happen more often if we areto produce more international-grade players.
“Chess events like these helppeople build connections as wewere there competing for over aweek, so apart from the playingthere is also the post-game analysisand it’s in these sessions wherechess players can take the opportu-nity to learn even more,” he says.
English chess legend grandmas-ter Nigel Short emerged victoriousat the end of the 11-round event. He
gained the title based on a tie-breaksystem, after ending on nine pointsalongside grandmaster AleksaStrikovic from Serbia and India’sgrandmaster Abhijit Kunte.
Short has been playing with thebest since he became a grandmas-
ter at age 19. He was regularlyplaced in the top ten in the worldbetween the late 1980s and late1990s.
He became the first English play-er to play for the World ChessChampionship title when he
played against Garry Kasparov in1993.
Solomon will next travel to Gaut-eng along with Short to play in aqualifier for one of the biggestchess tournaments in the worldtaking place in Las Vegas.

Lions roar to titleEARL HAUPT

The Athlone Hungry Lions havebeen crowned this year’s u.15Vuka Rugby Legends Cupchampions after beating the El-siesrivier Cobras 10-3 in a fiercefinal at UCT on Saturday.
According to Vuka Rugby’s Is-mail Teladia, the morning’s fi-nal was an exciting affair.
“This match was very tightwith both sets of players givingit everything they had. The add-ed incentive was that the play-ers knew that the match was al-so part of the Western ProvinceIqhawe team trials,” he says.
“The tactics of the Cobraswere surprising in that theychose to run the ball at every op-portunity even within their own25m area on a number of occa-sions.”
The wet and slippery condi-tions under foot did not help theCobras as the team from Athlo-ne stuck to its guns to come out
eventual winners of the contest.Thoubaan Gabriels and Thaaki-er Kamaar contributed two un-converted tries, with Gabrielsgoing home with the man of thematch award.
Ismail says that the WP Iq-hawe (u.15) team will be an-nounced shortly and that therewere a number of candidates vy-ing in the final.
u.19 finalIn the day’s other match, the
Atlantis Highlanders contestedthe u.19 final for the second con-secutive year.
They fended off the challengesof Elsies River Cobras to claimthe u.19 title they missed out onlast year.
They appeared better pre-pared as they lost last year’s fi-nal. They beat the Cobras 25-10.
Former Springbok wing andSA Rugby Legends AssociationCEO Stefan Terblanche handedover the trophies to the winningteams.

A deaf soccer team in Langa has re-ceived a major boost upon receiv-ing new kit from mayor Patricia deLille.
The Deaf Wolves, which is affili-ated to the Athlone division of theAthlone Heideveld local footballassociation, focuses primarily onuplifting disabled people in thecommunity through soccer.
They wrote to De Lille in Marchrequesting donations.
De Lille handed over 14 new soc-cer kits to the team at the CapeTown Civic Centre on Tuesday lastweek.
She expressed her joy at support-ing an initiative in one of CapeTown’s oldest communities.
“I was approached by the DeafWolves club chairperson, MlulekiBojana,” says De Lille in a state-ment.
“This team was founded by deafmembers and for deaf members in2013 in order to uplift disabled resi-dents in the community.”
Bojana approached De Lille after“encountering some issues that
(were) holding (them) back as ateam”.
“All too often, the disabled con-tinue to be marginalised both eco-nomically and even socially,” DeLille continues.
“They remain exposed to re-strictive environments and barri-ers that continue to exclude themfrom mainstream society.
“People with disabilities stillface serious challenges when itcomes to participating meaning-fully in community activities.”
De Lille reiterates that support-ing the initiative forms part of theCity’s policy for vulnerable per-sons, which is the municipality’smoral obligation to support pro-jects which assist and encouragethe integration of those who aredisabled.
“As affiliates of the Athlone divi-sion of the Athlone Heideveld localfootball association, they frequent-ly play against hearing people aswell.
“It is encouraging to know thatsport is being used to bridge di-vides and to bring people togetheraround a common interest, despitetheir differences.”
Deaf Wolves look sharp
Mayor Patricia de Lille handed new soccer kits to the Deaf Wolves soccerclub, which is affiliated to Athlone soccer clubs, last week.

He has a winning balancing actBEN BURGER
16-year-old Dannon Siljeur fromRetreat isa Grade 10 pupil at Reddam House Con-stantia and is the People’s Post/Super-
sport Let’s Play Sport star for June.Dannon is currently competing overseas
in Malta as a member of the u.16 South Afri-can schools water polo team. He has alreadyrepresented Western Province schools wa-ter polo at u.13, u.14 and u.15 levels.He is also an accomplished hockey player,
having earned WP colours.Asked why he prefers hockey and water
polo to more popular sports like rugby,cricket and soccer, he sayshedid play soccerwhen he was at primary school. But whenhemoved fromStGeorge’s Grammar Schoolto Cannons Creek Independent School inPinelands, soccer was not offered, so he tookup hockey.“I played hockey in Grade 2 at St George’s
so the sport wasn’t new to me and I movedstraight to the u.13A team. I felt this sportwas right forme as it was kind of like soccer,but with a stick.“Water polo was new at Cannons Creek
and I started this in Grade 6. By Grade 7 Iwas playing in the Western Province u.13Ateam. I think water polo was easier for mebecause of my history in swimming. And Ijust continued playing these sports untilnow.”Dannon says that despite his hectic train-
ing schedule, he makes time for academicsas that is very important to him. “I try to
complete schoolwork as soon as I get it,sometimes sacrificingmybreaks to dowork.Being a good sportsman is literally in myblood as almost everyone in my familyplayed their sport at provincial level. Somanypeoplemake the excuse that they can’tcomplete work because of their sport, but itall really comes down to timemanagement,”he says.He trains every day. “I have hockey by day
and water polo from 17:30 to 19:00. The onlyreal rest day I have is on Saturday and Ispendhalf of thedayat the gymand theotherhalf with friends.”When asked where he sees himself in five
years’ time, he has an interesting point ofview.“I knowmost people that are good in sport
would say stuff like playing for their countryand earning tons of cash, but I value educa-tion and believe you should always havesomething to return to in case the sportingcareer doesn’t work out. I plan to use mysport more as a key to a full-time job, a keyto access great universities and succeed inlife. So I seemyself studyinghard,while pay-ing formy studies by usingmy sporting abil-ities at university level.”.

Training tips ahead of Sanlam Cape Town marathonWith little over twomonthsuntil the SanlamCape TownMarathon, distance running leg-end Elana Meyer has shared a few trainingtips ahead of the big day.“Preparing for a marathon, the focus
should be on strength, endurance and paceruns,” says Meyer.“You need to be strong if you want to run
a goodmarathon. By incorporating strengthconditioning it will help you stay injury freeand handle the distance a lot better. Also in-corporate hill repeats. It will make youtough.”Meyer offers some key tips to potential
Cape Town Marathon participants, sayingthat you should have training buddies whenyou sign up for the marathon – the journeywill be much more enjoyable.If you can, do most of your runs off road.Follow a 12 to 16 week programme. There
are training programmes on the race web-site (www.sanlamcapetownmarathon.com).Or sign up with one of the Cape TownMara-thon coaches for online coaching.
DietTraining for the gruelling 42km challenge
is important, but other areas of preparationare just as crucial, according to Andrea duPlessis.Du Plessis is a nutritional specialist at Vi-
tal Health Foods, the race’s official develop-ment partner. She says dietary intake can af-fect an athlete’s training and racing ability.“The biggest impact nutrition can make
on your training programme is to help yourmuscles recover rapidly. This ensures get-ting the best value out of regular trainingsessions,” says Du Plessis.Nutrients that are required for recovery
nutrition includewater, carbohydrates, pro-tein, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals andantioxidants.Du Plessis urges runners to look out for
two specific ingredients when selectingtheir training recovery nutrition formula:
.Whey protein is a source of the essentialand branched chain amino acids requiredfor muscle recovery.
. Glutamine is an important nutrient forindividuals that participate in high intensi-ty endurance training and events. It is vitalfor recoveryafter trainingand important forthe immune system, as it is used by the im-mune cells located in the digestive system.Staying hydrated is important too – be-
fore, during and after exercise. Du Plessisprovides key points to avoid dehydration,which accelerates the onset of fatigue:
. Make sure to drink at least six to eightglasses of water per day to stay well hydrat-ed.
. When exercising under warm condi-tions, make sure to increase your fluid in-take with at least 500ml to 1000ml on thatday.
. Sports drinks taken before, during andafter exercise may help keep you hydratedfor training sessions that last longer than 30minutes.
. During training, fluid intake of about500ml per hour should be sufficient, depend-ing on perspiration rate, which differs be-tween individuals, and the temperature onthe day.While taking enough fluids is a wise ap-
proach, Du Plessis warns against excessivefluid intake: “Thismay result in over-hydra-tion and hyponatremia, which may impairsports performance and can be as dangerousas dehydration.”
ClothingAnother important aspect to consider
when preparing for a long distance race isshoes and apparel. Dawid Visser, promo-tions and training specialist at Asics SouthAfrica warns against starting a race with anew pair of shoes. “You need to make theshoes mold to your feet to ensure proper fit-tingwhenyou get to race day. This also elim-inates the chances of excessive blistering,”he says.Backed with the wisdom of these experts,
the organisers and sponsors of the CapeTownMarathon are expecting a record fieldthis year for Africa’s only IAAF silver labelrace.
With the Cape Town Marathon set to take place over the weekend of 19 to 20 September,runners are encouraged to step up their training and pay attention to their diet ahead of thebig day.
