The 2012 Hansa Fish Canoe Marathon will host the SA K1 river championships, the 18th time in 28 years, since the first national river champs was awarded to the race in 1984, that Canoeing South Africa has decided that the Hansa Fish is the best and fairest event to host the prestigious national river title decider.
For several years the race has been the most popular choice for paddlers, often eclipsing The Unlimited Dusi for entries, and drawing its participants equally from the Cape, Eastern Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, with Cradock being equidistant almost to the kilometre between Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.
The success of the Hansa Fish lies in a unique blend of guaranteed water releases, exciting rapids and weirs on the river, warm Klein Karoo hospitality and the festive vibe off the water.
On the water the country’s top marathoners have committed to being on the start line, with several of the big guns, including world champ Hank McGregor and four times Hansa Fish K1 champion Len Jenkins jetting back from the marathon worlds in Rome two weeks before the race. Eastern Cape canoeing supporters are also excited about the prospect of Plett ‘Golden Girl’ Michéle Eray making her return to the race after being laid low last year by a crippling wrist injury.
This year the Hansa Fish will wrap up with another of its hugely popular music concerts at the Sports Complex in Cradock, featuring Ashtray Electric and Lonehill Estate on the Friday night and chart-toppers GoodLuck and Pascal & Pearce on the Saturday night.
“The Hansa Fish is the country’s premier canoe marathon,” said Riaan van Jaarsveld, SA Breweries Events Manager in the Eastern Cape. “More than that it has all the special ingredients that make it a truly unique ‘total experience’ where the visitors to Cradock can enjoy the warmth of the local hospitality, race hard, and really enjoy themselves off the water,” he added.
The event further enjoys massive support from university students and under 23 paddlers, who enthusiastically support the annual themed competition, offering a prize of the paddlers’ weight in Hansa Pilsener for the crew adjudged to be’ best dressed’ to this year’s theme, ‘Pimp Me Viking’.

President Jacob Zuma has extended his condolences to the people of the Eastern Cape and the families of the 18 people who died during an accident outside Cradock in the Eastern Cape on Saturday.
According to reports, two buses collided on the R61 between Cradock and Graaf-Reinet.
One of the buses was transporting school children from Cradock to a school event in Graaf-Reinet, while the other was carrying passengers travelling from Cape Town to Mthatha.
Two schoolchildren were among the 18 killed. Fourteen people were also seriously injured.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their loved ones in this tragedy. We also wish those injured a speedy recovery so that they can reunite with their families at home.
“Although these collisions appear to be taking place repeatedly leading to many deaths, we must not lose our collective sense of weeping. Even the death of one South African on our roads is unacceptable and painful, even more so these numbers of our people including children that we now appear to lose each week,” Zuma said.
He called on law enforcement agencies to conduct the necessary investigations and ensure that negligence on anyone’s part is punished to the full extent of the law. – SAnews.gov.za

The Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Roads and Public Works, Thandiswa Marawu, has extended government’s condolences to the families of those killed in the horrific bus crash on Saturday morning on the R61 between Cradock and Graaf Reinet.
“On behalf of the provincial government, I would like to convey our message of condolences to the bereaved families and wish those that are still in hospitals a speedy recovery,” said Marawu.
The crash, which claimed 18 lives – including two school children – involved a Sprinter bus and a school bus. Fourteen people were also seriously injured in the crash.
According to Arrive Alive spokesperson, Tshepo Machaea, the school bus was transporting children to an event in Graaf-Reinet when it collided with a bus carrying passengers from Cape Town to Mthatha.
Marawu said her department was seriously considering introducing a 24-hour shift system for traffic officers in order to provide safe passage for motorists on the provincial roads.
“We are not going to fold arms. We will engage national government to fast-track the discussions of introducing a 24-hour shift system for traffic officers in order to improve law enforcement on our roads… In fact, I will engage traffic officers’ labour unions in our province about my intention,” said the MEC.
Marawu is expected to join the Deputy Minister of Transport, Sindisiwe Chikunga, in a visit to accident victims at Cradock Hospital and the parents of the school children who died in the crash. – SAnews.gov.za

Dear Editor
I would like to express my shock and deepest sympathy on behalf of the Democratic Alliance with the families of the victims of Saturday morning’s accident on the R61 outside Cradock in which a school principal, two learners and 13 passengers of a minibus taxi from Mthatha were killed. Our hearts and prayers are with them.
The accident took place when a bus from the Cradock Primary School collided with the taxi. The children were on their way to a sport event in Graaff-Reinet.
While the circumstances leading to this tragedy are not clear, this is another wake-up call that serious attention must be given to road safety, especially when it comes to taxis that travel through the night. Driver fatigue is one of the main causes of these frequent taxi-accidents. What we need is legislation and tough action.
I will be visiting the Cradock Primary School on Monday, 23 July 2012, to convey my condolences, while representative of the DA in Mthatha will visit the families of the victims who were travelling in the taxi.
I believe that this heart-breaking incident could have been avoided. We cannot allow the unnecessary loss of lives on our roads to continue.
Donald Smiles.
Editors Notes: Sixteen people, including the principal and two learners of the Cradock Primary School School were killed in a horror accident involving the school bus and a minibus-taxi on Saturday, 21 July 2012.
I was hunting on a farm, Blomfontein, about 45 kilometres south of Cradock when the incident happened and witness to an incredible sense of community as the local hunters mourned the loss of community members. It was clear that the tragic loss of their own town members hurt them deep.
