Entries have been streaming in at a steady rate for the 2023 Surfers Challenge taking place on Saturday, and in the process a picture of the likely head-to-head racing is taking shape. The Daily Dispatch had a discussion with 2012 men’s winner Awonke Bungu, who indicated he would be racing the traditional Surfers from Kwelera to Nahoon for the first time since he had won.

âWinelands Toastmasters is the fertile ground of enthusiasm, involvement and support that its members need,â Charmaine Sparrow, club president from 2011 to 2012, said.
âItâs a learning laboratory â not only to develop speaking skills, but also invaluable leadership skills. It is of utmost importance to recognise, in this time of uncertainty, that there is a need within yourself and in society for growth and leadership,â she said.
