  • Sport Awards 2018 Foreword
    Sport Awards 2018 Foreword The annual Sports Awards is a highlight of the Western Cape Government’s calendar. The Awards recognise and officially acknowledge the esteemed excellence of sportspeople hailing from the Western Cape. Today, we pay tribute to the exemplary role these individuals have played in the development of sport and motivating others to achieve more. I wholeheartedly thank each sportsperson awarded their prestigious acknowledgement for serving as a beacon of hope to all in the Western Cape. Their perseverance, focus and positive choices have groomed them into significant role-models to whom youth can aspire. Excellence in their respective sporting codes requires dedication, motivation and many hours of practice, but also most importantly support and encouragement from significant others: family, friends, coaches, managers and others. Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to them for their continuous support and encouragement toward our sporting success. History has shown time and again that sport has the ability to bring diverse groups of people together and I firmly believe our honoured sport stars personify this notion. They also promote a healthy lifestyle in which they contribute to increasing wellness and safety in the Western Cape and for that I thank you profusely. Western Cape Provincial Sports Awards 2018 1 By celebrating our victories and achievements we create a spirit of goodwill and social inclusivity that ultimately binds us all better together. In closing, a special word of thanks to all the DCAS team players for your hard work, dedication and professionalism in making the Sports Awards a proud occasion. Anroux Marais Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western Cape Government 2 Western Cape Provincial Sports Awards 2018 Volunteer of The Year Charmaine Mostert – Cape Winelands Bowls Charmaine has broadened horizons of the bowling world over the years with administration, promotion and development of bowls throughout the Cape Winelands district and more recently the Western Cape.

  • 65Th Uipm Congress Looks to the Future
    10 DEC 2013 65TH UIPM CONGRESS LOOKS TO THE FUTURE The 65th Annual UIPM Modern Pentathlon Congress, which took place in Limassol, Cyprus, this weekend, saw delegates from almost 50 countries present as the nations planned towards the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The Executive Board also got together in the two days prior to the Congress. Both meetings were chaired by UIPM President Dr h. c. Klaus Schormann, and in both he welcomed all the delegates and paid special thanks to the efforts of General Charalambos Lottas, President of the Cyprus Modern Pentathlon Biathlon Association and Secretary General of the Cyprus Olympic Committee, for hosting everyone in Limassol. It was also Shiny Fang’s first Congress as Secretary General following her election to the post in 2012. The names of the 2013 Best Competitions were announced as the Biathle Triathle World Championships Limassol won the Development award, World Cup #3 Chengdu took Best Promoted, Champion of Champion Qatar claimed the Best New Competition and the Best Overall went to World Cup Final Nizhny Novgorod. The bulk of the discussions centred on the motions presented at this Congress with much debating over the structure of the fencing ladder system. In the end most of the voting was in favour of the introduction of this new concept, with 2014 season set to be a testing phase. An Ad hoc working group of experts has been put together to present various options for the ladder to the fencing system to be tried in competition from as early as January. There were also several new Member Federations welcomed into the Modern Pentathlon family during the Congress as UIPM continued its development drive with the focus on grassroots programs to grow participation at all levels.
