    According to Kirsty Coventry herself on Facebook

    After landing in Harare on Saturday night, 4 to 5 men smashed the back window of our vehicle in an attempt to steal our luggage.
    My sister and I were sitting behind my fiancé and her husband, who was driving. My sister grabbed my 2yr old niece and 5yr old nephew and I threw myself into the back of the vehicle to try hold onto our bags. Whilst wrestling with one of the men over our suitcases, I cut myself on the shattered glass. Unfortunately, so did one of the thieves.

    Carina Bruwer from the multiple award-winning instrumental pop group Sterling EQ, successfully rounded Cape Point on 23 April 2013, finishing the 8km extreme swim equipped only with a standard swimming costume, cap and goggles, according to open water swimming rules. The “Swim for Hope” was in support of the Little Fighters Cancer Trust (LFCT), a local charity that offers support to children with cancer and their families, which Carina and Sterling EQ actively support, and marked Carina’s return to open water swimming after a 6 year break during which she became a mother of two.

    Alicia Coutts is known as the ironwoman of the swim team, but she could also be considered the incredible hulk thanks to a new muscular physique.

    The five-time Olympic medallist has added 4kg of pure muscle since the London Games and it proved a major difference as she ripped out two dominant wins in the 100m butterfly and 200m medley last night.
