Hitting the wall — it’s as devastating as it sounds
I'VE completed 10 Comrades Marathons, and quite a few standard marathons. There’s a moment during the race when you hit the wall. This moment comes at different points for different runners. The first time I encountered it was at around SOkm into the race, and it is devastating. Nothing prepares you for it. Your months of training, dietary discipline, early morning conditioning runs in the cold and dark mean nothing when you hit the wall. You reach a stage of tiredness that feels like a threat to your very existence. All you want to do is give up and take a nap on the side of the road.

A powerful exhibition by SA icons, Pitika Ntuli, Willie Bester
THE Melrose Gallery’s new show - Junkyard Dogs — stars two celebrated South African artists, Willie Bester and Pitika Ntuli. Both are fixated with junk, upcycling, recycling, re-envision-ing waste. As such, they are classically African artists, for the artists of no other continent have displayed a more ingenious and innovative capacity to reboot-retool the excesses of industrial surplus. Africa is the dumpsite. African artists the diviners.
