Safe shack

Within the last 2 weeks, fires in very poor townships have killed 5 children! Can we not design a shack that has the following properties:

• Cost effective,
• Portable,
• Fireproof,
  
• Well insulated,
• Adequate ventilation and light,
• Stove (that doesn't topple over)

I think shacks are a reality and they're going to be there for years to come. With a safe shack we could save lives.

Two Oceans Run - Zimbabwe wins!

Cape Town hosted another sporting event this month: The Two oceans ultra-marathon and half-marathon. The organisation was excellent just like that of the Cycling tour held a few weeks ago. Is this a good indication of how South Africa will fare with the 2010 Soccer World Cup?

Zimbabwe indeed needs some wins. They achieved good positions, winning the the 56 and 21 km runs (males). And amongst the females: number 2 and 3 in the 21 km. Russians took positions 1 to 4 in the females 56 km.
