MEDIA RELEASE FROM 567 mw CAPETALK: CAPE TOWN RESIDENTS
IN PEACE MARCH TO SHOW THEIR COLLECTIVE OPPOSITION TO CRIME

CAPETONIANS, concerned by the levels of crime and violence across
the city, are being offered an opportunity to make a symbolic statement against the
carnage by participating in a silent peace march on May 4.

Organised by CapeTalk, the “Silence the Violence” initiative follows a dramatic increase
in gang violence, a host of gruesome murders and ongoing general crime in Cape
Town and its surrounds over recent weeks.

CapeTalk station manger Colleen Louw said hundreds of callers to the station
recently had expressed anger and deep concern at crime levels
in the city and had expressed a desire to do something about the situation.

“They are telling us that crime levels are unacceptable and they want to
do something about it. We are providing a platform for them to do so.”

“This is not a protest, but through this symbolic and silent walk for peace we are
encouraging ordinary Capetonians to play a part in the resolution of this dire situation
and to collectively take action and show their solidarity with all efforts aimed at
normalising the situation.”

“We are urging ordinary citizens and organised groups to come out of their homes
and their offices en masse on May 4 and to make a stand,” said Louw.

“Let this be the first step towards a crime-free Mother City,” she added.

Participants will gather at the Good Hope Centre from 11 am
on Thursday, May 4. The sounding of the Noon Day Gun will mark the start
of the one kilometre march which will move along Strand Street, into Adderley
Street and end in Darling Street outside the Cape Town City Hall. See the website below for a map.

Cape Talk March for Peace Event Details

Cape Town’s longest running expo is back on the 21st to the 28th of April. Find anything related to home improvement here and much more. It’s a great expo to visit and it’s open from 10am to 9pm every day. Tickets are R30 for adults and R10 for pensioners and children under 12, for sale at the gate. The Design for Living expo has been running for 28 years and attracts about 70,000 visitors annually! There will also be some great local music on display with the launch on Friday. The Good Hope Centre will be host to this year’s event.

It’s Robbie time, today is the day! Green Point Stadium is going to be packed to capacity with one of the world’s biggest superstars performing tonight. Robbie Williams has entered the house ladies and gentleman. No, I’m not going, because I’m not such a big fan, but I did appreciate this DVD’s, so I guess it’s going to be a spectacular show. I’ll report back after the weekend on how it was. Robbie, just so that you know, Cape Town seems to love you…

I was at the fireworks show on Saturday night and can certainly recommend it. We had picnic on the grass area which was more than adequate and had a great family atmosphere about it. Don’t park near the silos as you come towards the fireworks area, there is parking much closer, just ask the security to direct you (be prepared to wait in queue when you leave though)!

Anyway, tomorrow (Wednesday the 5th of April 2006) is Canada’s national fireworks team’s turn, so it should make up for something quite spectacular. The Saturday fireworks show was Spain and it was quite interesting with oohs and ahs from the crowds of people.

KFM also did a good job of entertaining the specators before the show and had some relaxing music on. Thanx guys you’re doing a good job!
