Congratulations to Ernst van Dyk record 10th title in the Boston Marathon.

SASCOC has heaped praise on wheelchair racer Ernst van Dyk who made history when he won the Boston Marathon for a 10th time.

I dont know about you, but I found it very hard to listen to Oscar over the past week he either he has a very good PR person or is generally broken, personally I think its the later.

The state have adopted a very heavy hand approach with Nel coming across as a bully. That being the difference...

Football for All

I was reminded yesterday of one of the basic principles behind sport development - Partnerships. Thank you to SAFA Development Agency for facilitating great workshop with all the NGOs and Corporates involved in making football accessible for all South Africans.

Oscar - your thoughts?

I dont know about you, but I found it very hard to listen to Oscar over the past week he either he has a very good PR person or is generally broken, personally I think its the later. 

The state have adopted a very heavy hand approach with Nel coming across as a bully. That being the difference between trial by judge rather than a jury.

There is no doubt Oscar has made the worst mistake of his life, whichever way it plays out, he will have to pay the price of killing another. But I do hope the debate around domestic abuse and gun crime will come to the surface.

What are your thoughts on the trial so far?
