Laddsworth Primary School Grade Three pupils recently learnt about the various food groups and healthy eating options. At the end of May, the pupils prepared an oral on making a healthy snack and explained which food groups were represented and discussed the nutritional value. The Grade Three pupils impressed their teachers with some very creative healthy snacks.

Entries are now officially open for the SPAR Virtual Women’s Challenge. On 4 September 2021, women will not be limited when they are participating in this virtual challenge.

“The incredible fortitude our country has shown over the last 18 months was the inspiration for the 2021 SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge and its theme, #LiveLimitless. This year’s challenge celebrates the ways in which we have challenged, and in some cases broken down, the limits that lived in our minds before the pandemic. #LiveLimitless is calling on all South Africans to put on their running shoes once again and come together virtually to be part of a nationwide event that’s breaking borders and redefining limits!” Alison Zweers

Entries were opened on 26 May 2021 and the response from SPAR’s loyal following has been overwhelming. More than 5000 entries were placed within the first few days and unfortunately one of the few things that are limited is the amount of entries we have available. Race organisers are urging the public to enter early to avoid disappointment!

#LiveLimitless
We have all been faced with challenges and obstacles in our lives and more specially over the last year. However, the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge is breaking boundaries and pushing limits. This year let’s overcome our obstacles and shoot for the stars. Let’s #LiveLimitless

How it Works 4 September 2021, anytime between 06h00 and 18h00 (subject to government lockdown regulations). You can run, jog, or walk your own race, at your own pace, on your own route, at any distance, from any location you choose.

How to Enter
Guidance on entries and how the event works can be found at www.sparvirtualchallenge.co.za.

Once you have entered you will receive a confirmation email which will give you access to this year’s digital magazine. South African entrants will receive a virtual challenge pack with their entry containing a race t-shirt, a buff and a medal, to be collected from their chosen SPAR store or delivered to their chosen address (at an additional cost) For every entry, SPAR will donate a pack of sanitary products to a schoolgirl in need.

You can enter in a few easy steps, by entering your details, choose your pick up or delivery point and make your payment on our secure platforms. You can also help someone overcoming their limits by an additional, optional donation to the Jacaranda FM Good Morning Angels.

 

Entries will close on 15 August 2021, and are limited to 75 000 participants.

 

This year you will again be able to not only create your own race number online, but you can also create your own certificate of completion – check out sparvirtualchallenge.co.za and follow the few easy steps.

 

Entrants residing outside South Africa will unfortunately not be able to receive a virtual challenge pack due to postal restrictions and courier fees. Your entry fee will still contribute to the donation of a pack of sanitary products for a schoolgirl in need.

The global pandemic has locked down our youth during a time of their lives where they are desperately looking to spread their wings.

The past 18 months have tested the country’s resolve and demonstrated the incredible resilience of all sections of the South African society.

 

While the South African youth’s wings have been clipped temporary, they have shown that they may be locked down, but they will not be held back.

As part of the 2021 SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge’s campaign, we encourage South African women to #LiveLimitless and break down the barriers in their lives and redefine the limits that may exist.

 

“What seemed impossible to us before has now become daily life—working from home and caring for our children at the same time? Impossible before, and now an average day,” said Alison Zweers, Managing Director of SPAR Western Cape.

 

“Making deals and holding meetings online? A strange and unknown concept that we now take in our stride. What further proof could you need to show that limitations are purely mental and how living without limits is truly possible.”

 

This year's theme has a strong focus on the youth, and we will be supporting the Petals Projects, which advocates for a shame-free education for all young women.
There is a stigma and shame attached to their menstrual cycle for many young girls in South Africa. Due to the lack of access to simple hygiene products, they must make the difficult decision between embarrassment or education.

 

Entry fees for this year’s Virtual Challenge will support SPAR’s Petals Project, which aims to donate packs of sanitary pads to underprivileged girls removing one of the limitations to their education.

 

SPAR is also proud to partner with three young South African women who embody what it means to #LiveLimitless.

 

Chantel Struwig, Zizipho Soldati and Shirnell Swartz are three exceptional young women that refused to allow the challenges and limitations they had to deal with from an early age to define them. Instead, they have broken these shackles turning their challenges into opportunities.

 

Struwig, born with a purplish-red mark covering most of her face, has become a vocal and virtual birthmark awareness advocate. Embracing her birthmark, the BCom Fashion student has overcome a negative self-image and encourages others to do the same using her social media platforms.

 

The 26-year-old Soldati is an award-winning filmmaker, content creator, social media influencer and aspiring model. Soldati has not allowed a rare condition that causes very short limbs, called Phocomelia of the lower limbs, to put a limit on her dreams and ambitions.

 

Swartz has excelled as a short speed skater representing South Africa at the Special Olympics, which has helped her discover her superb talent. She first got involved with Special Olympics South Africa when she was 13 years old at Casa De Sol School, where she found short speed skating.

 

This year you will again be able to not only create your own race number online, but you can also create your own certificate of completion – check out sparvirtualchallenge.co.za and follow the few easy steps.

 

Entrants residing outside South Africa will unfortunately not receive a virtual challenge pack due to postal restrictions and courier fees. Your entry fee will still contribute by donating a pack of sanitary products for a schoolgirl in need.

In Dlalanathi's Child Protection training with community members, we ask participants to map the safe and unsafe spaces in their community. This activity serves to raise adult's awareness in a very concrete way of where there may be risks to children's safety, and opens up a conversation about what could be done to mitigate risks. It also enables people to see the resources and strengths that already exist in the community and work from that strength-base.

Tanner Wareham is a singer/songwriter from Durban, South Africa who specialises in using loops and multiple instruments to create a unique live, one-man experience. Tanner has opened for some of SA’s biggest artists, and his first two singles charted on local and national radio. His music is feel-good, upbeat, acoustic based pop and dance brought to life with various instruments and grooves.

That once and future Lentil Eater, Brian Bedingfield, teams up with renowned songstress, Grace Botha, for a programme of music for the soul. Expect everything from Country Gospel to Soul, plus some old favourites from Carole King and James Taylor. Oh, and a little humour thrown in for good measure. All arranged for one guitar and two voices. They aim to send you home a little cheerier than when you came, with a song in your heart.

 

7pm: Jimi Ganesh & the Truth
Jimi Ganesh and the Truth is the proudly African music collaboration of tabla player, Nishalin Pillay, and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Vaneshran Arumugam. Nish has made a name for himself as the adaptive ‘session’ percussionist and tabla ambassador and has shared the stage, as a support act, with Dan Patlansky; Arno Carstens and even with three-time Grammy Award winner Ben Harper. Vaneshran’s voice comes out of a lauded career as a master performer and storyteller, having played parts such as Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and more recently featuring in Africa’s 1st Netflix production, Queen Sono – for him, the guitars, flutes, harmonicas and jaw-harp etc. are also acting tools, means of collaborating to tell the story. Collaboration is the approach that Jimi Ganesh and the Truth takes, with eclectic influences from old and new traditions. A Jimi Ganesh set is a journey across the world through theatrical soundscapes, powerful chanting and spoken word, original compositions and unusual covers and arrangements, all with a sense of mystique and mischief and a strong dose of social justice – that’s the Truth in their name – knitted into their mercurial sound which has a broad appeal.
