At the media launch for the event last night, defending title holder Mick Fanning said that he feels right at home in Jeffreys Bay and is hoping for another good result in the JBay Open. “This wave is so incredible,” said Fanning. “The people and the surroundings here make it feel some homely and it’s always a highlight to come back to JBay. Last year here was real- ly special for me and this year I’m going to go out there and do my best. Hopefully that gets me another good result.” The lone South African on the CT, Jordy Smith (ZAF), is currently ranked 18th in the world and returns to competition in Jeffreys Bay after missing the Fiji Pro due to a knee injury. Round 1 will see Smith take on Bede Durbidge (AUS) and rookie Ricardo Christie (NZL). “My knee is definitely feeling better,” said Smith. “Watching everyone in Fiji was really hard and made me jealous so I’m happy to be back. Two wins at Jeffreys Bay is something I never dreamed of when I was growing up but as you get older you set new goal for your- self. I need to get back on track, get my head down and get some good results. I hope the swell shows up and we have a great event.” Slade Prestwich (ZAF) earned a coveted wildcard entry into the event with a win at the JBU Supertrials on June 14, 2015. The Dur- ban-based Qualifying Series (QS) surfer will battle Adriano de Souza (BRA) and Kolohe Andino (USA) in Round 1. “I’ve watched these guys for years so I’m so stoked to be in the event,” said Prestwich. “I’ve got nothing to lose out here – they’re go- ing for a title and I’m just trying to qualify.

MUSSEL research is not just what Tiaan Hoe-ben does - it is part of who he is.

Hoeben - a third year Nature Conservationstudent at the Nelson Mandela MetropolitanUniversity in Port Elizabeth who is currentlydoing his practical year at the SupertubesFoundation in Jeffreys Bay - was born and

raised in Cape Town and spent years gazingout to the sea from his childhood classrooms,exploring the coastline and sea bottom.

He has recently started to monitor the Med-iterranean mussel population on the intertid-al reef covering the rocky shore of JeffreysBay between Boneyards and Point in an at-tempt to establish whether the mussel popula-tion is increasing or decreasing.

Hoeben will be assisted by an international

leader in coastal marine ecology, Dr AntonMcLachlan, who is residing in Jeffreys Bay.

“Once the species is in decline or removedfrom its original habitat, the whole food chainwill be disrupted and result in more speciesdisappearing,” says Hoeben.

“Once the mussel population numbers aredetermined, the community can becomehands-on involved in helping to conserve thisspecies.

“The community as a whole will benefitfrom the research as the reef will be more at-tractive, featuring various oceanic life. Theresearch will furthermore ensure a cleanerand safer environment for humans to live in,as well as help educate younger generations.”

For more information or to join the Super-tubes Foundation as a volunteer, contact Hoe-ben at 084 622 3994 or visit their FacebookPage.

EMERGING farmers fromHankey received ashot in the arm in their quest to become suc-cessful commercial farmers, when the MECof Rural Development and Agrarian Reform,Mlibo Qoboshiyane, donated a tractor tothem.

The tractor comes with a row picket plant-er, fertiliser sprinkler, boom sprayer, har-rowingdiscs anda cultivator, at a cost of someR700 000.Also included are 400 litres of diesel, spon-

sored by the department. Fencing materialwill follow in due course.The donation comes after the MEC visited

the area inSeptember last year.Hewas imme-diately drawn to the plight of the emergingfarmers who were plying their trade underdifficult circumstances due to a lack of re-sources.They took the MEC to their fields where

theyhadplantedpotatoes, cabbages andotheragricultural produce and asked for assis-tance. The donationwas the result of their en-durance.At the handover function of the vehicle, Qo-

boshiyane said the group of farmers, fromMilton and Weston, was a good example ofpeople-driven economic development and itwas only right for Government to assist them

in expanding.“During this month where we are celebrat-

ing 60 years of the Freedom Charter, we arefulfilling one its commitments. The Chartersays ‘The state shall help peasants (farmers)with implements, seeds, tractors and dams tosave the soil and assist tillers’. We are trans-lating these words into reality,” he said.“When we come back here, we want to be

told that the people of Hankey are preoccu-pied inmaking their land productive and eco-nomically viable. Land is what we have as aresource andwe should exploit this resource,not only for subsistence, but as an economiccatalyst,” said Qoboshiyane.Kouga Executive Mayor Daphne Kettledas

said emerging farmerswere crucial roleplay-ers in local economicdevelopment andpover-ty eradication.“We want to see you employing and train-

ing young people in farming as a liberatingand viable option of economic development.”Delivering aword of thanks onbehalf of the

farmers, Willem van Rooyen said they werehappy to be witnesses to Government fulfill-ing its promises.“We have spent many years struggling.

Your office has responded promptly and weare very happy that we did not despair andthat you found us active,” he said.

GONE are the days when beer was the cheap-est thing in a bar and there was nothing so-phisticated about it - it was cheers up and bot-toms up.

Then Lance Kabot came to St Francis Bayand changed everything. Now beer is not justbeer anymore. Nowthere is a differencebetween a lager, ale,weiss and pilsner andbeer lovers can saythey prefer the BeachBlonde to the Wilds-ide.Sporting thirteen

craft beers on tap - ro-tating each week - wastaken a step further.Kabot, the owner of StFrancis Brewing Com-pany, is now brewinghis own house brand -Beach Blonde, Light-house Ale Storm RiderStout andWildside Ipa. Ranging from an easydrinking beer to a biscuit and caramel in-fusedbeerwithmorebodyand taste, and froman unrestrained celebration of hops to theperfect storm in a beer glass, this locallybrewed beer caters for a variety of pallettes.After a serious surf accident at Seal Point

in December 2012 left himwith a broken neckand hospitalised for twomonths, Kabot knew

the time was right to invest in his life-longdream - to open his own brewing company.“The accident changedmywhole life,” says

Kabot. “While in hospital, I had a lot of timeto think and decided I should do what I enjoymost - brewing beer and share the tapestry oftastes with others.“Only the purest intentions go into making

our beer. Using only barley, hops and water;the ingredients are care-fully selected to ensureyou get the pure taste ofour craft beer.”Kabot talks with pride

about the process of beer-making.“The four main steps

are the mashing of the in-gredients, the kettle, fer-mentation and condition-ing. It takes about threeweeks from the first stepto when the beer is readyto be served,” saysKabot.“I do not use any addi-

tives to increase thespeed of the process. I let

the ingredients do their own thing on its owntime. That iswhen the beer tastes the best andis the healthiest.”Apart from tasting a variety of different

brews, residents and visitors can experiencebeer pairing with food, learn all about wheat,hops or barley and pick up new words thatwill make them seem very smart with their‘normal’ beer drinking friends.

The event will be headlined bymembers ofthe 1995 Rugby World Cup winning squadHennie le Roux, Hannes Strydom and GarryPagel,whowill share their experiences twen-ty years on aswell as their predictions on theeve of this year’s competition.

They will be joined by former Blitzbokkecoach Paul Treu, who led his side to victoryin the 2008/9 Sevens World Series, and ex-Springbok manager Zola Yeye who has theinside scoop on the 2007 world champions.

Madibaz deputy director of sport PetrusBoukes said that they had assembled a veryknowledgeable and experienced panel, led bypopular TV commentator Gavin Cowley, todiscuss the upcoming World Cup in a chat-show format.

He said the idea behind the anniversaryfunction was to acknowledge the rugby play-ers, administrators and officials who had anassociation with NMMU and its founder in-stitutions.

“All the alumni jumped at the opportunityto return to their alma mater and give some-thing back,” said Boukes.

“As champions in the international rugbyarena, they personify the excellence thatNMMU strives for.”

He said the list of guest stars was by nomeans complete and a further “squad an-nouncement” would follow shortly.

With the first World Cup Rugby game tak-ing place on September 18, local rugby fanswill be able to get first-hand informationfrom the experts.

“Obviously, the audiencewill also be privi-leged tohear theirhilarious andoften contro-versial untold stories.”

In addition, guests will be able to bid onrugby memorabilia in an auction.

Proceeds from the evening will be used to-wards building a dedicated rugby clubhouseat the Madibaz Stadium.

Boukes said this would serve as a “home”for players, alumni and supporters and thatthe facility would showcase the greatachievements of past players to honour a tra-dition of top-flight student rugby.

“By their presence, our very own rugbyhe-roes will contribute to building a legacy forfuture generations of students,” said directorof alumni relations Paul Geswindt.

.The Bok Banter dinner will be held at theNMMU Indoor Sports Centre on September3.

KOUGA EXPRESS | THURSDAY 9 JULY 2015 SPORT 15

RALLY fans can look forward to an excitingVolkswagen Rally on Friday and Saturday,July 17 and 18, in Port Elizabeth and sur-rounds. The 2015 event features 12 stages ofcompetition, with the layout of the event de-signed to keep the action as close to the fansas possible.

For motorsport fans wanting to get in-volved as early as possible, the scrutineeringfunction on Thursday evening before the ral-ly presents the perfect opportunity. The ven-ue is Tavcor Volkswagen on theWilliamMof-fett Expressway.Scrutineering has been revamped for 2015

and will allow fans to see the cars, meet thedrivers and navigators, get posters signedand also enter a competition.A wheel-changing competition is being or-

ganised for rally fans attenting the scruti-

neering event – the winners of which will betreated to a VIP VW Rally experience at theVolkswagen Rally.“TheVWRally is going to bemore challeng-

ing and also much more spectator friendly,”says Joe Fourie, route organiser of the event.“There is less driving around for the rallyfans and there is also spectating on every sin-gle stage of the event. A great deal of work hasgone into making this rally the most accessi-ble event yet.”Auto Pavilion at Volkswagen in Uitenhage

is the start of theVolkswagenRally atmiddayas usual – with free entry for rally fans whocan spend time exploring the interactive lay-out and also getting to know the teams.From there the action moves to stage one

- the Motherwell stage at 12:24 with stage twoat Jachtvlakte starting at 13:15.Stage three sees the teams head to Mission

Road at 14:03 and rally fans can spectate thisstage at Port Elizabeth Oval Track Raceway(PEOTR). Stage four sees a return toJachtvlakte starting at 15:34. Stage five is an-other repeat, this time the Motherwell stagewhich starts at 16:30.The final stage for Friday is at Aldo Scrib-

ante Raceway where Volkswagen Rally com-petitors will face a challenging tar and gravelstage starting around sunset (17:30).“As sponsors we have worked closely with

the Volkswagen Rally organisers to ensurethis event is easily accessible to the generalpublic – not just hardcore fans, but for anyonewho enjoys action and cars,” saysMikeRowe,Volkswagen’s Motorsport Manager. “Lessdriving, plenty of spectating options at thestages and stages run more than once. All ofthese combine to make it as easy for specta-tors as possible.”

Saturdaymorning startswith an early stageat Buffelshoek farm from 07:44 after which theVolkswagenRally field heads to theLongmoreForest for the Sinkdam stage at 08:38.Stagenine sends the competitors toMission

Road – initially used as stage three on Friday– to rally from 09:34 before they return to theforest for stage 10, the PPC Ultimate stage.Stages 11 and 12 are super special stages

which means spectators can look forward towatching two cars in action on the stage si-multaneously – and both of these stages takeplace at PEOTR, rounding off theVolkswagenRally with maximum action.“Greater accessibility to the event means

more opportunities to see the rally cars in ac-tion,” says Fourie.“Thiswill provide good spectating but rally

fans should still plan their spectating andchoose which stages they would like to see.”

A DETERMINED Bestmed-Shukuma Madi-baz cycling team held many of the largersquads at bay to take the silver medal in theteam classification at the University SportSouthAfrica competition in Stellenbosch lastweek.

Hosts Maties claimed the overall victoryand the University of Cape Town took thirdplace on the podium.Madibaz team captain Marinus Prinsloo

and teammate Christian van Aardt didNMMU proud with their selection to the na-tional squad for the world student games.Despite being the 2014 titleholders, the

NMMU riders were at a numerical disadvan-tage from the start of the three-day road tour.“We went into the tour as defending cham-

pions and never would have thought that wewould get the results we did with only fourriders compared to the other universitieswho had up to seven,” said Prinsloo, whoseyoung team also included Matthew Hayter,Van Aardt and Shane Kemp.The tour kicked off with a 70km road stage

on the Lady Loch circuit in Wellington.The Madibaz were looking good until the

third lap, whenVanAardt crashed heavily ashe crossed the line at the first sprint prime.“It was at this point that I once again real-

ised why I love student champs so much, asthe entire bunch then sat up and waited forChristiaan to return,” said Prinsloo.The NMMU team recovered well to go into

the afternoon’s individual time-trial in firstplace in the team classification.“The guys showed guts as the entire team

rode brilliant times despite our smallerteam,” Prinsloo said.Unfortunately, the Madibaz slipped into

second after stage two, as the 120km queenstage loomed ahead the following day.

Prinsloo said day three proved to be eventougher on the NMMU camp with the riders

feeling physically drained from the two pre-vious days of hard racing.
