Kwikfit Standard Triathlon – Gordon’s Bay, November 1990. Text by Jason Bailey and images by Shawn Benjamin Twenty-five years ago, triathlon in South Africa was a small, grassroots sport.

It seems like yesterday that I was in Israel with my family but it has been 5 months since our trip to this amazing country. The contrast is huge from the first world and all the way back to biblical times. I have selected about 50 images for this visual blog, however we have many […]
I have just had a very busy working weekend, but a very good one.

Our two teams, Team PharmaChoice 1 Ben Mathewson and Sean Stephenson finished in 1 hour and 7 minutes and Team PharmaChoice Mixed, Jason and Emma Pienaar also […]
Nana’s Soup Kitchen Most people that know me will know that I spend a fair amount of time on my mountain bike. Two of my close cycling friends Sean Stephenson and Ben Mathewson are cycling the Cape Epic and in the process are raising funds for the Hopetown Soup Kitchen for children. My roots are in […]
These are not easy images to post on my blog, however I hope they will give some insight to the extremes pilots, firefighters and just the average Joe went to, to try extinguish this huge fire. If you’d like to make a donation to the fire relief fund, however big or small, call the Cape Talk hotline […]
