Team Wilde braves Double Century Cycle Race

Team Wilde took part in one of the most challenging races the Western Cape has to offer. Team Wilde consisted of Marius van Tonder, Kabous Marra, Johan Murray-Muller, Gerhard Slabber, Ferdie Dick, Wynand Lourens, Suretha Kotze, Henk Jordaan, Niel de Villiers, Dirkie Brits as well as two Springbok Cyclists, Dawie du Toit and Rèniell Matthysen.

Team Wilde looked set to go, although minor equipment upgrades were necessary for some individuals, who sported state of the art models from the 1950s. Sure, they don't make bikes the way they used to, but back then they didn't use bikes for the Double Century Cycle Race!


Team Wilde made their way to Swellendam on the 20th of November 2009, where they camped out before the race the next morning. The race was set to officially start at 06h27 and Team Wilde arrived, demanding heads to be turned with their branded attire.


The Double Century route was introduced by a merciless 60 km climb, forcing each team member to never forget the words 'OP DE TRADOUWPAS'. Luckily, the way to the Montague stop allowed the riders to catch their breaths. Some of Team Wilde's members were forced to forfeit the race along the way, as the strain took its toll.


The first six members from Team Wilde clocked in at 8 hours and 24 minutes, while the remaining three members finished the race in 9 hours and 56 minutes. Team Wilde finished 115th out of the 196 teams that competed in the Double Century Race 2009.

Wilde Classic Golf Day

The annual Wilde Classic Golf Day was held on the 6th of November 2009. The popularity of the event has grown over the years, but even in its fifth year running, the aim remains to create a fruitful event for the Wellington community. The Wilde Classic Golf Day is a charity fundraiser that donates funds to the Christian Church of Wellington, enabling them to help families and individuals towards a brighter future. We are thankful (and very proud) that we could exceed all our previous records with the substantial amount that we have accumulated this year.

Thank you to all the sponsors who has made this a successful day of golf!

Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

Wilde Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice was one of the proud sponsors of the Cloud9Golf and M-NET Breast Cancer Day, held on the 5th of November 2009 at the Randpark Golf Club.

The event was held in aid to raise funds for the M-NET Mobile Breast Check and Educational Units which will tour around the country to educate women on the dangers of breast cancer and the value of early detection.

The support of the ladies that attended the fundraiser was overwhelming. Each lady received a goodie bag containing surprises from Wilde Fruit Juice. The dinner tables were also equipped with two 1 liter Wilde Fruit Juices, to keep the ladies hydrated during the speeches and performances of the evening.

Cloud9Golf and M-NET would like to thank everyone for their support.

The M-NET Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is aiming to beat the Guinness World Record of collecting 114 7000 bras. 95 000 bras has been collected thus far. Your support is vital to accumulate more, every bra counts.
