Gerda Steyn joins Boxer Super Run Durban line-up

From setting records at the Two Oceans and Comrades Marathons to representing South Africa at the Paris Olympics, Gerda Steyn is ready to take on a new challenge as she joins the Boxer Super Run in Durban on Sunday, 13 October.

Steyn, known for supporting various races, often participates in local events when her schedule allows.
“The Boxer Super Run aligns perfectly with my training plans,” says an excited Steyn. “I’m thrilled to be part of this event. A 5km road race is a fantastic concept for both social and elite runners in South Africa, and I’d love to see it grow from strength to strength.”

Steyn’s impressive 5km personal best of 15:45 highlights her versatility, proving she is not only a force in longer distances but also a strong competitor in shorter, faster races.
“I enjoy that the 5km is somewhat unfamiliar territory for me, which makes it a fresh challenge and a great way to gauge my fitness,” she adds. “My goal is to run a strong race and compete at my best. I don’t have a specific time in mind—I’ll assess the weather and how my body feels on the day—but I’ll definitely be giving it my all!”

Regarding the R147,200 prize purse, Steyn says: “The generous prize money makes this event even more appealing for athletes, adding extra motivation to perform well and push each other. I’m looking forward to joining everyone in Durban. I always cherish the support I receive from the Durban running community, and I can’t wait to share the roads with everyone there.”

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Gerda Steyn, a true South African running icon, to the Boxer Super Run in Durban this year,” says Lee-Ann Pillay, Head of Marketing at Boxer Superstores. “With her remarkable achievements, from winning the 2024 Comrades and Two Oceans Marathons to competing at the Paris Olympics, Gerda’s participation adds a whole new level of prestige to the event. We can’t wait to see her in action and know that her presence will inspire runners of all levels to give their best on race day.”

Newlands East women trained in GBV advocacy

Eighteen women from the Newlands East Rapid Response Team were recently awarded certificates for completing training provided by 1000 Women Voice, an anti-bullying and trauma support organisation.

These women completed various training courses, marking their first step into the field of gender-based violence (GBV) advocacy.
Dr Nadia Bernon, founder and chairperson of the Rapid Response Team, stated that the certificates aim to motivate these women to continue their development.

“Our certificate ceremonies acknowledge and recognise the sacrifices women make in their communities. These are ordinary, unemployed women who want to make a difference every day and create positive change. They are determined to be the driving force on the ground, ensuring that the community is safe for everyone, especially women and children,” said Dr Bernon.
The certificates were handed over by Dr Solange Ngodu, Dr Nadia Bernon, and graduate nurse Soraya Fredericks.
Dr Bernon noted that the event was a great success and an emotional experience for many of the women. "We applaud them. Womandla!" she added.

1000’s support Mental Health Walk

More than 1,000 people from across KwaZulu-Natal participated in the KZN Mental Health Advocacy Group’s annual walk, which began at Durban North Beach Amphitheatre on Sunday, 6 October.

The walk, which took place just ahead of World Mental Health Day on Thursday, 10 October, is now in its ninth year. Over 30 organisations came together to raise awareness of psychosocial services and mental health support.

Participants had the opportunity to engage with representatives from these organisations, led by a network of health activists, including Professor Suvira Ramlall, a specialist psychiatrist, and Suntosh Pillay, the chief clinical psychologist for eThekwini. Both public sector employees co-founded the walk in 2016.

This free event has grown to become one of the largest mental health walks in South Africa. Walkers carry placards and posters, expressing their frustrations, needs, or messages of recovery and hope.

Scholar transport compliance under surveillance – 17 Vehicles suspended in Sydenham

The Durban Metro Police Service Strike Team recently conducted a targeted operation focusing on scholar transporters. During this operation, numerous drivers were charged for overloading and risking the safety of learners by exceeding their vehicles' capacity in the Durban area on Friday.

Metro Police spokesperson Colonel Boysie Zungu reported that in Sydenham, officers issued 54 charges and suspended 17 additional vehicles that were found to be in dangerously poor condition. One alarming case involved children being crammed into an unroadworthy school bus.
“Our Strike Team will continue to crack down on those who disregard the safety of our children and fail to follow the rules of the road,” Zungu emphasised.

A-70-year-old man has died after he crashed his car through a boundary wall in a parking lot at The Atruim, Berea, in Overport earlier today. Garrith Jamieson of ALS Paramedics said that paramedics responded to a serious single-vehicle crash at The Atrium shopping mall. He said that when paramedics arrived, they found a single vehicle crashed through on the top floor of the parking lot after the driver allegedly lost control. Jamieson said the car crashed through the parking barrier wall down to the road below, landing on its roof. “The driver was the only occupant in the vehicle and was severely trapped in the wreckage with major injuries. Unfortunately, paramedics were unable to save him. He was pronounced deceased at the scene,” said Jamieson. He said that the eThekweni Fire Department, SAPS and the Metro Police Search and Rescue unit were present, using the Jaws of Life and other hydraulic equipment to free the man from the wreckage. “The cause of the crash is currently unknown, and SAPS will be conducting further investigation. “The events leading up to the crash are unknown, however, SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further,” added Jamieson. Other reports indicate that the man had a heart attack before he crashed through the wall. However, the information is yet to be confirmed. #communitynews #weeklygazette #tabloidnewspapers #durban #atriumberea #southafrica #kwazulunatal #fatalcrash
