Hello Joburg, it’s time to Jol!
The Joburg Super Kings are organising a special Carnival for the people of Johannesburg. The carnival, open to all, features plenty of fun activities and games: signing sessions and selfies with the Super Kings players, face painting, kids zone, DJ music, games with attractive prizes and Food & Beverage options!
Date: 25th January (Thursday)
Time: 3:00 to 7:00 PM
Place: The Piazza at Melrose Arch, Johannesburg
Open to All. Entry is free.
“We are pleased to set up this special carnival for the people of Johannesburg, with plenty of offerings for all age groups. When we planned for the campaign this year, we wanted to ensure we connect with the people of the city, and thus our theme for the year: To Joburg We Belong.
“This is another initiative in that direction, giving the people of this special city an opportunity to get closer to the Super Kings. The Carnival this year is just the start and it will be bigger in the years to come,” said Ankit Baldi, Head Franchise Joburg Super Kings.
Owned by five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings, the Joburg Super Kings is a T20 franchise based out of Johannesburg.

Goldtouch
Sport Trivia: Who was the first SA cricketer to take a hat trick in Test cricket? Answer: Geoff Griffin in the second test match against England at Lords in June 1960 — he dismissed Mike Smith, caught by the wicket-keeper, then bowled Peter Walker and Freddy Trueman. England went on to win the game by an innings and 73 runs. He never played another test match after that, due to his continually being called no-ball for alleged throwing.
Murder Matter
The term ‘tries’ in rugby has an intriguing origin story. Initially, there were no points awarded for tries, and the term referred to the attempt made by a player to kick the ball for a goal. This action was eventually renamed as a ‘conversion,’ but the original term ‘tries’ has persisted as a crucial part of rugby terminology.
