Why Canal Walk's Kart Racing Should Be Right At The Top Of Your Bucket List

On Friday the 14th of June I went kart racing at Century Karting, which is an indoor go-karting track located in the Canal Walk parking area between the Honda and Golf shop. Ticket prices ranged between R195 for beginners and R400 for experts. Beginners would have 6 minutes racing time on the track and experts 15 minutes. My family and I decided to opt for the beginner's option since it was our first time and not having any previous experience when it comes to kart racing. The waiting time was approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, but there were plenty of things to do in the meantime. There was a shop for customers to fill up on snacks while they wait and I decided to make the most of it and buy me a coffee and a packet of Maynards sweets. There was also a pool board and different arcade games to keep customers occupied during the waiting time. The customer service was also excellent, because they held a small meeting with all the customers beforehand and let them know all the rules and how to operate the kart. Some of the rules included having to wear a helmet, having both hands on the steering wheel at all times and not driving recklessly on the track. When we first arrived at the venue I was nervous because it was going to be my first time doing kart racing, but once I was actually on the track my anxiety faded and I just enjoyed the adrenaline rush and the competitiveness of racing against my family. The karts were easy to operate, you just needed to keep your foot on the right pedal to drive and your foot on the left pedal whenever you wanted to brake. At the end of the race we got our results printed out on a piece of paper, which included the name, position and number of laps completed by each driver. My final thoughts on Century Karting is that it's a great venue if you want to have a good time and forget about all of your problems. The costs are expensive but it's worth it in my opinion, because I can definitely see myself visiting Century Karting again in the future.

Written by Caleb Petersen Luigi Phillips also known as the "Pinkster seun" (Pentecostal son) has recently released his very own Gospel CD. He faced many challenges growing up in Manenberg which is an area that's known for gangsterism, but his mother always told him that he should follow his dreams and rise above his circumstances. He was forced to drop out of school at a young age and struggled to find a job. He then dedicated his time to becoming a professional soccer player. In 2014 he decided to leave soccer and focus on doing Gospel concerts. He dreamt of becoming a member of Joyous Celebration and performing on a stage in front of thousands of people. One day at a mother's rally while playing drums a member of the Church told him that she sees pentecostal in him and this is where the nickname "Pinkster seun" actually came about. This inspired him and he held his first concert on 2 November 2014 with the aim of getting young people to join a youth serv...

Manenberg Street Party Turns Deadly

Image
Written by Caleb Petersen On Sunday 10 November, isolated shooting incidents in Manenberg led to the loss of multiple lives. This came after a lone gunman fired random shots at a crowd of people early on Sunday morning during a street party in Storms River Walk, which led to the deaths of a 23 year old man and a 17 year old girl with two other men also injured and taken to hospital to receive medical treatment. Later that day the police discovered the body of a 33 year old man with multiple gunshot wounds, who the police identified as Lee Dreyer, the leader of the Americans. It's being claimed that he was killed by his own gang members, because rival gangs would not have been able to come into his territory like that. It's also being claimed that Lee Dreyer was the one that started firing random shots at the crowd of people at the street party and police are still investigating who killed him with no arrests made yet. When speaking to Bonita Petersen, who has lived in Manenberg...
