Karen wins fitness title Karen Gräbe (36) won the Mrs Fitness title at the Mrs Universal competition in Georgia in Europe. It was the first time Karen entered a beauty pageant and she finished fourth overall. “Fitness is my real passion and I am glad the judges also saw that,” said Karen. She competed against women from 12 countries. Karen’s mother joined her on the trip. “It was a privilege to share this experience with my mother.” Their days were filled with rehearsals and photoshoots from 07:00 to 22:00 and they had little time to themselves. Karen fell ill on her second day. “Because everybody smoke indoors, I thought that caused my chest pain and sore throat.” She could continue with the pageant and only after the final day of the pageant she seeked medial care. After her return to South Africa, Karen was diagnosed with pneumonia and was on bed
rest as a result. She recently returned to work and is again teaching her bootcamp class. “I enjoyed my experience in Georgia very much and would love to go back one day to see more of that beautiful countryside and city centres,” said Karen. She used the opportunity in Georgia to create awareness about Lupus, an illness she was diagnosed with five years ago. But Karen believes God healed her of this illness. Lupus causes the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues and organs. She inspires women and helps them to lead a healthy lifestyle. Next for this fitness enthusiast is opening her own gymnasium, KG Fit Gym this October. It will open next to Crawdaddy’s at Terra Nova in Trichardt. It will actually be a health and fitness facility providing various professional related services. For more information, visit the gymnasium’s Facebook page at KG Fit.
Henko ry veld op saam 1stes Hoërskool Secunda se eerste rugbyspan wil nie net beter rugbyspelers wees nie, maar ook beter mense. Hulle het dus besluit om ‘n vir Henko Naudé, ’n graad 9-leerling aan Hoërskool Secunda wat in ’n rolstoel is, die geleentheid te gee om saam met die eerste span op die veld te ‘ry’. Henko het ’n spiersiekte en kan nie self rugby speel nie, maar hy is ’n groot sport-geesdriftige en dit was vir hom ’n wonderlike geleentheid om saam met die eerste span op die veld te gaan. Die span het ook vir hom ’n rugbybal gegee met al die spanlede se name op en hy het
gedurende die hele wedstryd teen Hoërskool Bergvlam wat op 20 Mei plaasgevind het, saam met die reserwe spelers op die bankie gesit. Hoërskool Secunda het dié wedstryd met 76-26 gewen. “Ons span het vanjaar nog nie een wedstryd verloor nie,” het JJ Hennop, die eerste span se afrigter, gesê. “Dit is goed om te wen, maar met dié gebaar het die spelers iets anders geleer - iets meer as net rugby. “Mense moet opkyk na die eerste span as nie net goeie rugbyspelers nie, maar ook goeie mense. “Dit is ’n kultuur wat uitgebeeld word, een van ons waardes is om om te gee.”
Henko Naudé het in Mei die geleentheid gehad om saam met die eerste rugbyspan van Hoërskool Secunda op die veld te gaan.
