Sevens Fever hits George

It's all systems go for Paul Treu and his Springbok Sevens team as they prepare to win the ever-popular George-tournament – the second leg of the International Rugby Board's Sevens Series – for the first time ever.
The Blits Bokke, disguised as the South African Vipers, returned from Singapore early in November, where they successfully defended their title as champions of the annual Singapore Cricket Club's Sevens tournament.
With the help from sponsor Sasol, Treu uses this tournament in South East Asia, one of the oldest in the world, as warm-up for the IRB tournaments in Dubai and George, regarded by most of the players on the IRB circuit as one of their favourites. What makes this year's tournament in the Southern Cape even more special is the fact that it is the 10th year South Africa will play host to one of the big tournaments, since the IRB started with this initiative way back in 1999.
Even though the Vipers included a few new faces in their team, they still did very well, conceding just two tries – 10 points – in their seven games.
Treu was very happy with his team's performance afterwards, although the opposition in Singapore can't really be compared with the brilliant players that will be in action for, amongst others, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa and Kenya in George.
"I'm very glad that we managed to defend our title in Singapore.. It was a good weekend of sevens rugby," said Treu.
"What almost pleases me more, though, is the fact that we defended very well. The new boys also slotted in very well, in particular guys like Shaun Venter of the Pumas and Kyle Brown, who played for the University of Cape Town this year.
"The older guys also proved yet again that experience is something you can't buy. It's difficult to single out one player who did well, but if I have to, I'd have to say Renfred Dazel played brilliantly."
Treu has not made up his mind about the composition of his team, but it can be expected – fitness and injury permitting, of course – that the Blits Bokke will include experienced sevens stars like Dazel, Mzwandile Stick, Schalk van der Merwe, Marius Schoeman, Vuyo Zangqa, Mpho Mbiyozo, Frankie Horne and the captain, Neil Powell.
Powell and his men will take part in the very popular Sasol Springbok Sevens Signing Session, where the public can meet their heroes before the tournament. This will take place at the Garden Route Mall on Wednesday, 3 December at 12pm. Proud team sponsor, Sasol, encourages all fans to get down to the signing session and support the Blitz Bokke in the home-leg of the IRB series commencing on Friday 5 December.
Sasol. Springbok Sevens. South Africa.

Garden Route Mall celebrated their 3rd Birthday
Garden Route Mall celebrated their 3rd birthday on 25 October and had more than 1200 people gathering and waiting to find out if they were the lucky winners of the more than R140 000 prizes on offer on this day. (This was despite the Currie Cup final that was also due to be played on the day). The turnout and response was phenomenal with 11 500 entries received for the Charade competition).
Caroline Jordaan was the very lucky lady who was selected as the winner of the nifty Charade in a draw done by Allen Muller , the sponsor from South Cape Auto. Congratulations Caroline – enjoy your lovely car. Garden Route Mall wishes to thank Elandré Moore the Dealer Principal from South Cape Auto for the lovely 3rd car that has been generously sponsored to Garden Route Mall with R36 000 in cash for this year. Garden Route Mall is very fortunate and privileged to have enjoyed such a wonderful partnership and relationship with South Cape Auto – thank you so much.
Two staff members at Garden Route Mall received very well deserved Garden Route Mall vouchers for driving the Charade competition, the winners were Alushia Swart from Raffaele D' Amato 1st prize winner of R3000 in Garden Route Mall vouchers and Maggy Levack from Home etc, winner of R2000 in mall vouchers.

PT Productions presented a very lively and enjoyable birthday event with Nico Harmse adding that extra special touch with his beautiful and very smooth voice. Nico is most definitely someone that will be going places with his talent and will most certainly wow the judges should he decide to try out for the next pop idols. Natasha Vermeulen also entertained the crowd with her lovely voice. Garden Route Mall wishes to thank PT Productions, Hennie Visser and Nico Harmse especially for the professional standards and enjoyable event they delivered. Dewald Jordaan added a special touch as the MC for the afternoon.
It was a celebration that was certainly enjoyed by everyone that visited the mall – and especially the lucky winners of all the lovely prizes.
Garden Route Mall wishes to thank all our sponsors and shoppers for their continued support.'

MORE PAST EVENTS AT GARDEN ROUTE MALL

Garden Route Mall, Die Burger en Cappuccino's het 'n 'Manne Ontbyt' aangebied op 24 Oktober met Naas Botha as ons gas-spreker. Die oggend was ongelooflik suksesvol met 200 gaste en mans wat van oral gekom het om na Naas te luister.
In 'n vrae-sessie is Naas gepeper oor môre se spel (hopelik 'n uitslag of 'n punte-telling...) en die keuse van spelers in die algemeen deur keurders. Naas het 'n paar moeilike vrae netjies ontwyk en baie diplomaties beantwoord en die gaste verder vermaak met staaltjies uit sy kleurryke loopbaan.
Die reaksie en verkoop van kaartjies was ongelooflik goed en Garden Route Mall moes bontstaan met navrae nadat die 200 wat te koop was vroeg al uitverkoop was.
Groot pryse was aangebied tydens die oggend - 2 Oorsese retoerkaartjies van Emirates (waarde van R20 000), 4 Nagte vir 4 mense by die 4* Boardwalk Lodge (waarde R5000), 'n Wurth geskenk-pakkie ter waarde van R1500, 'n Elektroniese weer-monitor vanaf Webb's Luxury Goods and Tobacco en 'n 1 Dag visvang ekspedisie vanaf Zindigo Fishing Charter .
Die Klank is geborg deur Xquizit Sounds en Naas Botha se vlug en motor deur 1time Airline. Ander pryse wat oorhandig is was geborg deur Chipkins, Pro-Fishing, Ultra Liquors, Spier, Drakensig Wyne, Ster Kinekor, Fishing Tackle & Sport en Boesmanland Biltong.
Garden Route Mall wil F.A. Meiring bedank vir sy teenwoordigheid , vir Cappuccino's vir die wonderlike ontbyt en oggend, veral vir Anton Leonard, Ivy en Jimmy Mc Farlane en die span by Cappuccino's, 'n spesiale dankie aan Morné Nel wat die oggend moontlik gemaak het en betrokke was by al die reëlings en netwerk-sessies van die begin af en aan al ons borge wat die oggend so spesiaal gemaak het. Claude Pretorius was as seremonie-meester onverbeterlik en Desmond Scholtz verantwoordelik vir al die professionele foto's.
Aan al ons gaste - dankie vir die belangstelling en die tyd wat julle afgeknyp het vir die oggend.
