Earlier this morning we spoke to Marlize van der Merwe of the province's Blood
Transfusion service. We know they are in dire need of donors - especially in winter when we are more prone to car wrecks. And this raises yet another problem we wrestle with as South Africans. It seems that no matter how many ad campaigns are run we still end up with massive festive season road death tolls.

We get behind our team wether they are in the Sevens form of the game or the 15-man
format. But sometimes we forget that rugby isn't just for men.

entire province.

It is Drug Awareness Week from 24 to 28 June.

The Philippi Horticultural Area is the place where more than 60 percent of the

It is known on the Cape Flats as "Langarm."
