A well deserved reward

After competing in a series of cups, and still participating in the Vodacom Cup, Zing Mbekweni United Football Club is taking a well deserved break. And to celebrate this, Mr Fritz Brink, on behalf of Zing Fruit Juice, has made a donation to the Club Manager, Mr Sithembele Kaba, for MUFC's year end function. The team will play their first game of 2009 on the 16th of January - and it's a Vodacom Cup game, so embrace this time to celebrate before you go back on the field, MUFC! We're behind you all the way.

No monkey business

Zing Fruit Juice sponsored a water point at the Bainskloof Ultra Marathon 2008, which was held on Heritage Day, the 24th of September. Heritage Day is a celebration in which South Africans recognise aspects of our country's unique culture: creative expression, history and the languages we speak.

The idea behind the marathon was to meet the demand for an Ultra Marathon in the Boland to promote Bainskloof as a Natural Heritage Sight, and to benefit the community.

The route led the runners through the picturesque Lemietberg Nature Reserve's breathtaking scenery - with a few baboons and other local inhabitants along the way! The day was rather rainy, which spoiled the anticipated outcome. But the participants made the best of the day, and the Zing Team kept the spirits high and entertained. The potjie stand was a fun affair, which had Marius trying to counter the cold, rainy day with a newly invented tribal dance around a delicious potjie prepared by our very capable cooks!

Zing surprises St. George's Home for Girls.

Graeme Cairns, manager and caregiver of St. George's Home for girls in Wynberg was grateful for the amount of Zing Fruit Juice that they received from Pacmar.

St. Georges Home for girls in Wynberg was surprised with an enormous
amount of Zing Fruit Juice, kindly donated by Pacmar, holding company
for Zing, Wilde and Crystal Falls juice. Graeme Cairns, manager and
caregiver of St. Georges Home for Girls explains that "It is unreal to
see such a large quantity of juice, more than one can find in a grocery
store. The girls and I really appreciate this donation as the Zing fruit
juice will be ideal for them to take to school and will fit easily into
their lunch boxes."

St. Georges Home for girls has been in existence for almost 150 years,
caring for the first girl in 1862. The Wynberg branch is currently the
only residential care facility within the Wynberg District which
provides for children in need and is celebrating their 40th year of
caregiving. Upon this wonderful occasion, we at Zing would like to
congratulate St. Georges and wish them much success in the future.

Team Zing durf weer die waters aan.

Laas jaar het Team Zing, bestaande uit Jacques Groenewald en Ferdi Schenk, in die Trans Atlantic Wedvaart deelgeneem, ter voorbereiding vir die Trans Agulhas wat later sou volg. In die Trans Atlantic, tussen Strandfontein en Bloubergstrand, het Team Zing 3de in die P750-standaardklas geëindig.

Die Rat Race Media Trans Agulhas het op 28 Desember 2007 in Plettenbergbaai afgeskop. Die wedvaart het aangemeld by 22 verskillende kuspunte, waar daar by vyf oornag is. Ten spyte van die wedvaarte, was daar ook King of the Waves gehou by elke hoofstrand waar daar gestop is. Die Trans Agulhas staan bekend as een van die uitdagendste wedvaarte en is ook die oudste van sy soort in Suid-Afrika.
Dus doen deelnemers goeie resies-ondervinding op. Daar het altesame 49 motorbote deelgeneem, waarvan ons Team Zing, bestaande uit Jacques Groenewald en Adriaan van Wijk, deel was.

In dag een se vaart van Plettenbergbaai tot Mosselbaai het Team Zing die P750-standaardklas (Novice) gewen. Dit was 'n resies met tawwe kompetisie, want hulle moes jaag om voor te bly.

Team Zing het hul goeie vertoning voortgesit in dag twee se vaart tussen Mosselbaai en Stilbaai deur tweede te kom en hul voorsprong in die Novice Klas te behou.

Mis het dinge bemoeilik op die derde dag. Maar Team Zing het nie teleurgestel in die Stilbaai tot Struisbaai resies nie. Hulle het egter tweede gekom in beide die middagroete sowel as die nagresies.

Team Zing het derde gekom op die vierde dag se resies tussen Struisbaai en Hermanus.

Op die finale dag het Team Zing weer 'n skitterende derde plek behaal, en het 'n volle 20 minute voor hul naaste teenstaander geëindig. Die vaart het gestrek van Hermanus tot Strand.

Team Zing het algeheel derde plek verower in die Trans Agulhas P750-standaardklas. Hulle het ook die beste stuurman en mede-stuurman van die Trans Agulhas gewen.

Team Zing se Jacques Groenewald en Adriaan van Wijk het die volgende te sê gehad: "Baie dankie aan ons borge, uitstekende landspan en ondersteuning van vriende en familie. Nou lê daar 'n taai nasionale seisoen voor, maar ons is reg vir dit!"
