Roadworks on Jan Smuts Drive to alleviate congestion are under way.
LANSDOWNE | ATHLONE | GUGULETHU | NYANGA
Date for road upgrade set M
otorists from Lansdowne, the broader Athlone, Gugulethu and Nyanga using Jan Smuts Drive (M17) can look forward to the completion of the approximately R193 million major road infrastructure project by December 2020. The upgrade forms part of the roll-out of Phase 2A of the MyCiTi bus service to the Cape Flats. Preparations are under way to turn Jan Smuts Drive (M17) into a dual carriageway between the intersections with Turfhall Road (M24) and Govan Mbeki Road (M9), inclusive of two red bus lanes in the median. “The contract was given to the contractor in July 2018 and he was obliged to provide temporary work opportunities to the value of about R6.5 million to residents from the area. “Furthermore, goods and services to the value of approximately R11 million should have been procured from local businesses as far as possible,” Felicity Purchase, Mayco
member for transport and urban development, said at the launch of the project last year. This section of Jan Smuts Drive covers a distance of approximately two kilometres, and is one of the main access routes to the M5 highway and Jakes Gerwel Drive. Apart from additional lanes, the project includes the upgrade of two busy intersections: Jan Smuts Drive with Turfhall Road and Jan Smuts Drive with Blomvlei Road; as well as a 3 metre-wide walking lane on both sides of the road for pedestrians and cyclists; new signage; and the installation of street lights. “Residents who benefitted from this project had to register on the local subcouncil database. Local businesses were encouraged to submit tenders after the contractor placed advertisements for the procurement of goods and services related to the project,” says Purchase. The investment in new road infrastructure
will benefit all road users. Once completed, the additional lanes will relieve congestion along this section of Jan Smuts Drive. The local economy will also benefit because the movement of people and goods is pivotal for optimal productivity and economic growth. To date, the main focus has been on the relocation of the underground services such as water mains and electric infrastructure, Telkom lines and fibre optic cables – a complicated and time-consuming process. Last year, before the December holidays, the contractor undertook dust control measures to settle the loose soil as far as possible before the site closed for the builders’ holiday on 14 December. “After the holiday, the contractor commenced with the roadworks in January with the construction of the western side of Jan Smuts Drive,” Purchase says. At the beginning of the year, a temporary traffic circle was implemented at the intersec-
tion of Jan Smuts Drive and Turfhall Road to accommodate the traffic while the construction is under way. “Adding capacity to our existing road network is important, but we are also working on establishing an efficient, affordable, extensive and intermodal public transport system. “The new BRT lanes along Jan Smuts Drive form part of the incremental roll-out of Phase 2A of the MyCiTi service between the Cape Flats, Wynberg and Claremont. “Apart from the upgrade of Jan Smuts Drive, we are also busy with the upgrade of Stock Road in Philippi, and the construction of two new bus depots in Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha,” she says. Once rolled out, the proposed Phase 2A of the MyCiTi service will provide access for approximately 1.4 million residents from the outskirts of Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s Plain to the urban centres of Wynberg and Claremont via a direct and scheduled public transport service.

ne of Cape Town’s most popular events returns to the city’s streets next month. The Twilight Run, which is organised by the Community Chest, normally marks the start of the December party season, but this year’s event has a much more serious goal in mind. “The 2019 edition of the Twilight Run will again attract thousands of Capetonians and visitors to the 5km route that winds its way around our streets. We are inviting everyone to join us this year as we take a stand against gender-based violence,” says Lorenzo Davids, CEO of Community Chest. “We regard it as a moral obligation to continue the fight against gender-based violence. On Tuesday 3 December, we aim to create one of the largest public events to honour the thousands of women and children that have been affected by femicide, abuse, neglect, rape and brutality.” The entity invites all the companies, schools, organisations, families and private citizens and specifically fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews, colleagues, CEOs, religious leaders and male friends, and their partners to enter the run on behalf of all women. “Twilight has always been one of the most inclusive events of the year, attracting corporates, small businesses, organisations, The 2019 edition
schools, families and individuals in a festive atmosphere that guaranteed participants a good time, in aid of a good cause,” says Davids. “This year will be no different as Community Chest invites you to join the 2019 event and become a superhero as an act of solidarity against gender-based violence. Two organisations will benefit from the money raised through this year’s event, and they will be present at the event to receive their cheques from us.” The event will enjoy the support of media
personality Tracey Lange, Obama Fellow and founder, and executive director of Women Lead Movement Melene Rossouw, as well as the comedian Yaaseen Barnes. Entertainment on the day will be provided by Jarrad Ricketts and Paxton, as well as up-and-coming singer, Ameer Hendricks. The event sets off at 19:00, and all finishers will be awarded Twilight Medals. V Entries cost R100 and can be obtained from www.comchest.org.za or from Sportsman’s Warehouse outlets.

The City of Cape Town has extended the application period for public benefit organisations (PBOs) and non-profit organisations (NPOs) to apply for grants-in-aid until 20 January 2020. By applying for this financial assistance these organisations can continue to receive
assistance for the current financial year after changes to national legislation limited the options available to the City to give rates rebates. The City has thus found a way to help these organisations despite the nationally mandated amendments. Amendments to the local government: municipal property rates act necessitated a substantial change to the City’s Rates Policy to bring it in line with the amendments. In terms of the amendments to the Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act, the City was required to institute new property categories and align its rebates, reductions and exemptions to the amended national legislation. The amendments were implemented simultaneously with a new General Valuation 2018 Roll, which came into effect on Friday 1 July. PBOs and NPOs within the City’s boundaries are encouraged to take advantage of the
extension and to apply, irrespective of whether they fall within the new properties owned by PBO and used for specified public benefit activities property category or not. “The City will continue to provide assistance where it can, despite these nationally mandated amendments. It was, therefore, important to extend the application period to ensure as many of these organisation as possible have the opportunity to apply for financial assistance,” says Mayco member for finance, Ian Neilson. “Due to the critical and important work that they do, we feel that it is essential to continue providing support to PBOs and NPOs. Their contribution to the well-being of our city and its people is invaluable and they can rely on our continued support.” The grant-in-aid process is different from the rates rebate application process.

Electronic equipment needed AVRIL FILLIES
W
ith the necessary equipment, Grade 11 and 12 learners at Athlone High School will be able to learn elementary electronics as part of a practical course. “The course covers the fundamentals in electronics and applies them through building practical electronic circuits on breadboards. Learners are taught how to identify the different components, discover how they operate and, with that knowledge, they then build electronic circuits,” says Craig Jacobs, a technician who will conduct the course at the school. Jacobs will provide the training free of charge. The lack of financial income, however, is a challenge which makes it diffi-
cult to continue providing training. “Equipment needed includes digital multimeters, hot air soldering stations, breadboards and various electronic components such as tweezers, solder and flux. “The course, elementary and applied digital electronics, will take place on four Saturdays from 09:00 to 13:00,” Jacobs says. “Learners are taught a skill. Time spent in training will eventually turn into time generating an income. “I aim to provide an alternative, to hone learners’ skill so that they can make the right choices in life with the knowledge of electronics,” he says. V Businesses interested in helping with equipment can contact Jacobs on craig@mustek.co.za or 021 413 3000.
Grade 11 learners from Athlone High School participate in the course.

Partnership sees youth become tech-savvy AVRIL FILLIES
T
o prepare learners for the future workplace, education in technology must be taken to the next level. The partnership between Christel House South Africa (CHSA) in Grassy Park and Dell Technologies aims to bring technology to more than 1 000 impoverished youth in Cape Town. “Dell Technologies is spearheading the school’s information communications technology (ICT) development programme. It will help CHSA achieve a 1:1 student-to-device ratio and ensure a boost in the investment of new robotics equipment, coding programmes, an online learner management system, improved network coverage access points and staff training in e-learning,” says Megan Sonnenberg, marketing manager of CHSA. Two Grade 12 learners at CHSA believe the youth should be tech-savvy. Storm from Athlone was part of the first group of CHSA learners to compete and win provincial gold at the World Robotics Olympiad in 2017. “Being technologically savvy
nowadays allows us to think outside the box and to move into the digital age where artificial intelligence and augmented reality are becoming relevant,” he says. He has applied to study engineering application at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and IT at False Bay College. Siyamthanda from Langa believes in helping others understand technology better. He is a mentor to the school’s robotics team. “Given that the fourth industrial revolution is upon us, I believe that understanding technology should be second nature to everyone,” he says. He has been provisionally accepted to study computer science at the University of the Western Cape. CHSA was established in 2001 and offers no-fee scholarships to learners from some of Cape Town’s most impoverished communities. For most of its learners, school is the only place they have access to computers, the internet and other ICT resources. Ahmed Houcine Faïk – EMEA giving manager at Dell Technologies, says: “Our
partnership with Christel House reflects our ambition to harness the power of technology in creating a future that is capable of fully realising human potential and enabling more youth to be part of the digital workforce of the future.” As an emerging STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics) school, Christel House already focuses on equipping students with related skills that will ensure they enter high-earning potential careers suited to the future economy of South Africa. “Coupled with the new ICT development programme at the school, students are sure to attain skills compatible with modern-day careers. With an unemployment rate of 29% – the highest it has been in over a decade – access to technology will be one of the most important factors in decreasing our high unemployment rate and ensuring that learners are ready for the 2030 work environment,” Sonnenberg says. * The surnames of the learners are withheld in line with Dell’s children policy.
Learners at Junior School improve their technology skills.

Spiritual care in jails highlighted NETTALIE VILJOEN
Q
uite a few buzz words were flying around at the Department of Correctional Services’ (DCS) three-day Spiritual Care Service Providers Expo held at the Pollsmoor Correctional Centre in Tokai: rehabilitation, moral regeneration and reintegration were chief among them. Addressing a large audience on the first day of the expo on Wednesday 6 November, the director for the DCS’s Spiritual Care division, Dr Menzi Mkhathini, said correctional services had come a long way since the White Paper on Corrections was drafted in 2005. “Today we are here to ask the critical questions: What can we do differently? What should we do additionally and what should we stop doing in our pursuit to rehabilitate offenders,” Mkhathini asked. He explained that there had been a programme shift; that a one-size-fits-all approach is not the solution. Instead, offenders undergo an in-depth spiritual assessment. A correctional sentence plan is then crafted which incorporates needs-based spiritual programmes suited to each individual. “We have to structure programmes that speak to the inner being of a person’s spirit. Often we just look at the behaviour of people, but we forget various factors caused that behaviour,” said Mkhathini. “If we can get a person’s basic values right, if we can change their belief system, we can change their thoughts. And if we can change their thoughts, we can change their feelings, and then, ultimately, their behaviour.” In the past, rehabilitation programmes mostly focused on upskilling offenders. Deputy minister of correctional services, Phathekile Holomisa, says they have realised

We give them the opportunity to get an education,” said Holomisa. But, he said, this was not enough. As spiritual beings, humans have the potential to change. Hence the importance of spiritual care. “Offenders have missed out on the advantages of believing in a meaningful way in God.

The launch was held on Friday, 25 October 2019, the state-of-the-art Welding Academy is at the College's Thornton Campus, this was made possible by an R3.5 million funding from MerSETA. The project took about a year to complete, it is fully equipped with the latest machinery and equipment on par with industry requirements and standards.

The College will enrol the first Welding 30 students in 2020, with a planned three intakes a year. The facility is set up with individual working cubicles for each of the 30 students to be enrolled at a given time. The facility boasts an improved powersaving ventilation system, air suction for each welding station can be individually switched on and off. The welders will be skilled in four different types of welding – gas, normal arc welding, TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding and MIG welding. MIG and TIG welding are both electrical arc welding processes but are used for different materials. MIG welding is used for thicker, heavy-duty welding while TIG welding is used for thinner pieces of metal. Welding is one of the scarce skills in South Africa, with many qualified welders being imported from outside South Africa. It is envisaged that with this Welding Academy, companies such as Eskom will recruit qualified welders within the Borders of South Africa. This will also help alleviate poverty and decrease unemployment, especially amongst the youth. The Welding Academy will also help bridge the gap, between Institutions of Higher Education and Training and

This was the first time an expo of this kind was held in the Western Cape and Mkhathini said its purpose was to embrace and strengthen partnerships with stakeholders that are promoting rehabilitation programmes in different correctional facilities. “Corrections is a societal responsibility. We are here today with various NGOs and faith-based organisations. Working together with most of these NGOs, we have managed to change lives. The purpose of today is to showcase that work and also to upscale it. We believe with more support from these NGOs we will be able to change the lives of offenders,” Mkhathini said.

The money raised will be used for maintenance of the clubhouse and to fund the various sections of the club with their projects. “We also support some of the pensioners who are part of the club and can’t afford their subs. With the fundraisers we subsidise their membership fees. Because we are leasing a building from the municipality, we need to maintain it. Other funds raised go toward projects at the club,” says Van Breda. One of the biggest attractions each year is the model train rides. Children will be able to ride the 5inch gauge live steam engine and parents are welcome to join in. Tickets will cost R5 per child. The rides will be available from 09:00 to 12:00, then 13:30 to 15:30. This allows for maintenance of the locomotives. Model trains and cars will also be on display at the event with several locomotives and tracks in operation. There will also be a display on how toy soldiers and cannons are made which will be available for sale. Club magazines and books on display will be sold at bargain prices. Refreshments will also be sold on site. V Visit www.ctsmee.co.za or call Geoffrey de Vartek on 072 787 6709 or Andre van Breda on 082 378 2437.
The Cape Town Society of Model and Experimental Engineers will be hosting its open day from Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 November. The club is situated in Rondebosch on the corners of Erin, Duke and Campground roads in Croquet Lane behind the Rondebosch Croquet Club. The club has members from areas including Fish Hoek, Tafelsig, Bothasig, Vredehoek, Parow, Milnerton and the broader Cape Town area. The club offers members an opportunity to learn basic engineering skills including basic electronics, track construction and soldering techniques. Andre van Breda, club chair, says the club has grown considerably in the last few years. “This used to be a hobby for older people, now we see a lot more youngsters joining. We have one boy who joined us after visiting last year’s open day. He and his mother came to see what the club was about. He is 14-years-old and he comes to meetings every Wednesday,” says Van Breda. There are also members in their early 20s. “The workshop is a hive of activity. We gained so many members in the last four to five years that we needed to buy more equipment,” he says. “I am a firm believer in getting the youngsters involved because when I am no longer here, I need to have passed my knowledge on.” The club will be open to the public Train rides are always an attraction at the Cape Town Society of from 09:00 to Model and Experimental Engineers open days.

Firefighters earn their badges A
total of 51 firefighters will join the ranks of the City’s fire and rescue services following the completion of their eight-month training recently. “Firefighters must undergo hours of training and prove their proficiency, which is by no means easy. Our new firefighters can be very proud of their achievements and for joining the fire and rescue service,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. Firefighters control and extinguish fires, respond to emergency situations and primarily protect people, the environment and property from accidents and emergencies. “Our firefighters work closely with the lo-
cal community to increase fire safety awareness in order to help prevent fires and accidents from happening in the first place,” says Smith. The group had to pass a tough physical assessment, followed by interviews and then eight months of training in various modules including Firefighter 1, Hazardous Materials Awareness and First-Aid Level 3. At their graduation ceremony in Epping, the new firefighters were presented with their rank and badge, with the former pinned to the corners of their shirt collars and the badge above the left shirt pocket.

their newly-acquired skills. The fire and rescue service noted a near 9% increase in vegetation fires year-on-year, between 2018 and 2019. This, in turn, increased the overall number of fires that firefighters responded to – just over 70% of all fires are vegetation fires. “Summer is the fun, holiday season and at the same time, we want to urge residents to act responsibly as it’s also the time there are high demands on our firefighters. Saving lives and property are their priority and I am confident our firefighters are able to step up to the plate. Added to our efforts is that we’ll soon deploy our team of seasonal firefighters,” says Smith.
A total of 51 firefighters earned their badges and will join the City’s fire and rescue service.

City one of world’s most beautiful Cape Town has come in at number seven on Flight Network’s list of the World’s Most Beautiful Cities for 2019. The list of 50 best cities in the world was compiled by Flight Network, a Canadian online travel agency. Cape Town remains one of the most beautiful cities in the eyes of the world, with much to offer visitors to our wonderful city. We are humbled that Cape Town has been named as the best location on the continent and hope that travellers continue to see Cape Town as a must-see destination. More than 300 000 job opportunities are supported by the local tourism industry so accolades such as these are important in sustaining the interest from the international community that continues to contribute towards job creation. The tourism sector has the biggest growth potential, and awards like these are necessary in helping to support our tourism stakeholders. According to the list, the top 10 most beautiful cities in the world are: Paris (France), New York (USA), London (England), Venice (Italy), Vancouver (Canada), Barcelona (Spain), Cape Town (South Africa), San Francisco (USA), Sydney (Australia) and Rome (Italy). The reviews and opinions of more than 1 000 travel writers, bloggers and travel agencies from all across the globe form the basis of the list. The only other African city to make the list is Marrakech (Morocco), which comes in at number 46. Cape Town is also competing in three categories in the World Travel Awards. Cape Town is currently the holder of the World’s Leading Festival and Events Destination title. Cape Town was again voted Africa’s Leading Festival and Events Destination for the second consecutive time at the recent Africa and Indian Ocean World Travel Awards in June this year. Table Mountain won the title of Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction and Cape Town International Airport won Africa’s Leading Airport. All three contenders are up for the prestigious world titles at the 2019 World Travel Awards. The voting period closed on Sunday (10 November) and the winners will be announced in Oman (Middle East) on Thursday 28 November. DAN PLATO, Mayor of Cape Town

We can play our part in public safety Crime statistics recently released by Police Minister Bheki Cele should serve as a reminder to remain vigilant. We need to be prepared to encounter an element of criminal activity when we leave our homes. The brave men and women of the SAPS are doing their best to arrest criminals and prevent crime, but you and I can also make a difference. Public spaces carry a range of safety challenges. These include parking garages, parks, shopping centres, and other places where large groups of people provide easy cover for would-be criminals. In public spaces you should leave the expensive items such as jewels at home; if you have a daily walking schedule to and from the mall, vary it often so that your movement does not become predictable. If someone stops you to ask for assistance, keep a safe distance and keep an eye on movement around you. Avoid drawing money from an ATM late at night, and if it is urgent rather consider going to an ATM in a well-lit space where a security officer is on duty. Leave the headphones at home. Anything that causes distraction is to be avoided. There is safety in numbers. Take a friend with you, so that you can look out for each other. CHARNEL HATTINGH, Fidelity ADT

Taxi challenges examined at workshop In an effort to resolve challenges facing the taxi industry, I held an intergovernmental workshop on public transport with the City of Cape Town. The workshop follows my commitment after a meeting with the leadership of the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) last month where we addressed challenges facing the taxi industry. These challenges include the issuing of operating licences for minibus taxis, metre taxis and the issue of identification of e-hailing. In preparation for a formal consultation
with the taxi industry, the province and the City clarified processes and procedures around the issuing of operating licences and other related matters. Considerable progress was made which will enable me to take the matter forward with the taxi industry. I am committed to finding amicable solutions within the ambit of the law to ensure that people are transported to work safely and improve efficiency in the minibus-taxi industry which contributes massively to our economy. BONGINKOSI MADIKIZELA, MEC: Transport and public works
Find your dream, go after it Having a dream helps you to look beyond your current circumstances. A dream will help you to prioritise the most important things in your life. A dream makes even the small things that you do exciting, because you know that they are helping you get closer to reach-
ing that dream. Once you discover your dream, go after it. To develop your dream, think about it, be humble, have character, don’t be complacent – just keep on believing you can do it. MPENDULO NCUBUKEZI, Email
Youth must think of their futures I dispatched letters of encouragement to the matric students at schools in ward 60, and my visits sparked some thoughts. Over 790 000 matric learners write this year’s final exams in South Africa, and I pondered their futures, albeit continuing with tertiary studies or entering the job market. The youth aged 15 to 24 years are the most vulnerable in the South African labour market as the unemployment rate among this age group was 55,2% in the first quarter of 2019. The burden of unemployment is concentrated among the youth (aged 15 to 34 years) as they account for 63,4% of the total number of unemployed persons.
The Siyakha Youth Assets Study depict that 54% of those who had been involved in youth programmes, remained unemployed in South Africa’s shrinking jobs market. The study, released at the University of Johannesburg on Wednesday 12 June, found that only 27% of those who received training were able to find work, and had a 9% advantage over those who had not gone through any employment programme. The study, published by the Centre for Social Development in Africa, followed youth who went through the Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, Lovelife groundbreakers, Fit For Life
Fit For Work, Thabiso Skills Institute, Raymond Ackerman Academy, National Youth Development Agency, YouthBuild Programme, Afrika Tikkun Training Services and EOH learnership programmes. The study noted “higher self-esteem” and an increase in “odds of seeking work” among the youth who participated in the programmes. Statistics reveal that 1.7% of graduates are unemployed, and I believe that the class of 2019 must be encouraged to develop their own potential in becoming self-employed entrepreneurs.

Red-hot action excites fans R
ed-hot action filled the track at the Killarney International Speedway at the weekend with the final and deciding round of the World Rallycross (World RX) championship. In the end, Sweden’s Timmy Hansen was crowned as champion on account of a count-back of wins over Norway’s Andreas Bakkerud. The Cape Town crowd was treated to a spectacular and bruising season finale as the two ended on even points, with Bakkerud second in the race behind winner Niclas Grönholm and Hansen in fourth behind Timur Timerzianov after 60 races in 10 countries on four continents throughout the year. Timmy (Peugeot) arrived in Cape Town just a single world championship point clear of title rival Bakkerud (Audi) and younger Hansen brother and teammate Kevin another five points back in third. After the qualifying rounds and semi-finals, Timmy’s championship lead was only two points, with just the final left to race and eight points on the table. Timmy started the final from pole position from Bakkerud, Grönholm, Kevin, Timur Timerzianov and Timo Scheider as the
top six lined up two-by-two to decide the world championship over six scintillating laps in sweltering heat to the backdrop of Table Mountain. Bakkerud made a perfect start to lead from a combative Timmy, but the three world championship contenders became embroiled in a controversial incident, when Timmy made a move on Bakkerud and the two tangled and went off as Kevin also went off in avoidance at the bottom hairpin. The upshot was that Grönholm led the way from the recovered Bakkerud, Timerzianov and the similarly recovered Timmy, who had made quick work of a struggling Scheider to take a vital fourth place. Kevin then had a second spectacular incident at the same corner where he, his brother and Bakkerud had collided on the opening lap, as Grönholm led a disgruntled Bakkerud, Timerzianov and a limping Kevin home after Scheider ground to a halt. “It sounds fantastic — almost unreal that you call me world champion,” Timmy responded to a question on his taking the title. “I am super happy for the sport - the last race with everything on the line was nervewrecking, but I kept focussing and deliv-
ered a strong performance race by race through the weekend — there was no room for error — not the smallest mistake. “I know Andreas is upset,” said Timmy. referring to the final race incident. “I went for the inside, it was a hard move and it still needs to be investigated, but this season is the best in my career with four race wins and now the title — it’s a dream come true and I am so happy for the team — we are first and third in the drivers title with Kevin and me and we are makers champions too — the car has been brilliant every race. I still can’t yet take it in!” “I am proud of myself — I won the battle today — the best reaction at the start to lead away,” Bakkerud admitted. “But unfortunately I will not comment more after what happened and I just want to say huge thanks to my team and our sponsor and to everyone else — especially Cape Town — it was fantastic as always — Thank you South Africa. For the rest, right now I don’t really care.” In other action, Swede Oliver Eriksson delivered a dominant RX2 victory over Jamaican Fraser McConnell and Sami-Matti Trogen, to wrap up that title over Ben-Philip Gundersen, who pipped Jesse Kallio to
the title second, while Zak Groenewald took local BMW E36 Cup honours. Also Shaun Cope won the front-wheel drive class in his VW Golf and rally lass Megan Verlaque took Speedcar buggy honours. Locals like Saadiqah Alexander of Belgravia lapped up the action. “The family is all into drifting, that’s how we grew up. My father has a Honda S2000 and a Nissan 350Z, so we are into cars. We always come watch. So we have been here a couple of times. We just watched all the rallies, we liked the BMWs,” she said. South African motorsport legend Sarel van der Merwe was also in attendance: “It is wonderful having a world championship in South Africa in motorsport. I think it is the most exciting form of motorsport anyway, because there are so many good drivers,” he said, adding that he wished World RX was around during his competitive racing days, and implored locals to keep supporting the event in the future. “They should just know that it is one of the most exciting events in the country, so I don’t know why they just don’t pitch up.”
