  • SA could learn from Jamaicans

    Jamaica's National High School Track and Field Championships, known to locals simply as "Champs", is an event that, understandably, barely registers a blip on the Richter Scale of most South Africans. But for those involved in track and field, it's a seismic event.

    For it is at this five-day sports event that 40000 wildly enthusiastic spectators cram into a 35000-seater stadium to get a first glimpse of their future Olympic champions.

    "Champs" is Jamaica's largest sports event by some distance, and is one of the primary vehicles through which this relatively tiny island has delivered the sprinting dominance most of us recognise in Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    “I’ve never seen so many outstanding performances in one meet, other than Olympic Games or World Championships. I’m in awe!”
    These were the words of Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie during a television interview on the final day of the 2014 Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships at the National Stadium, in Kingston, Jamaica.

        All this speaks to our academics,Mds,MPs, etc etc that dwell on this yam ,banana, air in slave ship ,bred and running from gunshot theorist ( fast twitch) how can you dismiss or leave out the most plausible i.e Champs ?

        Baffles and irks me.It takes forgeiners (white people ) to enlighten us on what we have.

        Embarrsing!
