Mount Edgecombe resident aims to make a splash for charity
MOUNT Edgecombe resident and triathlete Glen Gore is taking on the Oceans 8 Charity Swim at Vetch's Beach, Durban, this weekend. Since its launch two years ago, the event has raised over R1.7m, directly benefiting 23 charities working in education, environmental conservation, and community upliftment. It's for this reason that Gore has decided to take on the 4 Mile swim fundraiser. 'This will be the second event overall. I did my first Oceans 8 swim last year and it was such good fun so I decided to come back again. I love swimming and if I can combine swimming and charitable work, it's a win in my books,' he said. Also read: WATCH: Durban exhibition 'shell'ebrates turtle conservation Gore will be competing in the 50-59 age category. He added his background in triathlons has helped him gear up for this event. 'Generally I train all year round so there was no specific preparation in terms of training for this one. It is fairly simple for me, wake up, go swim as fast as possible and have fun. The distance is very manageable, it's the speed at which we do it that makes it interesting,' he said. After the open water swim, there will be a number of other events on Gore's calendar, including the KZN Duathlon Champs at the end of June, followed by several run and cycle events. With the Oceans 8 Charity Swim event taking place over two days this weekend (June 14 and June 15), participants can find a mile to suit their style, with distances from 1, 4, 8 and 16-mile swims on offer.

Limpopo boxer Worship Chauke crowned African Youth Champion
LIMPOPO – Fast-rising boxing talent Worship Chauke clinched gold in the 80kg category at the 2025 African Boxing Confederation (AFBC) Youth Championships, recently held in Conakry, Guinea. The 18-year-old from Malamulele in the Collins Chabane Municipality, proudly flew the Limpopo flag high as he triumphed over some of the best young boxers from across the continent. Chauke described his opening match against a Guinean opponent as intense. 'He was short, muscular, and confident. I kept my hands up and used jabs to control the distance. When he moved in closer, I stepped back and landed a strong left hook that knocked him off balance. The referee stepped in for the count, and that punch was too much for him to handle,' Chauke said. In the final, he faced a Libyan contender and dominated from the first round through to the third, securing his place as the Youth 80kg African Champion. Collins Chabane Mayor Gezane Shadrack Maluleke congratulated Chauke on his victory. 'Worship Chauke is a role model to young people. His win shows that perseverance leads to success. We are proud of him and confident that many young boxers will be inspired by his journey,' said Maluleke. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
