Thieves raid Uitsig school kitchen, leaving learners without meals
Pastor Adam and the Neighbourhood Watch with the sponsor of their new urn at the school. The soup kitchen at CL Wilmot Primary School in Uitsig was targeted by criminals over the school holidays, leaving the learners without a warm meal this week. The thieves stole the rice, tinned fish, chicken livers, pots, the school's urn as well as electric cables and equipment, forcing the school to adjust its meal plan to sandwiches. Community activist and Early Crime Prevention facilitator at the school, Pastor Adam Alexander, said the criminals stole all the ingredients meant for the feeding scheme. 'We are very disappointed. "These criminals did great damage to the school and stole food from the children's mouths. The learners did not have food to eat on their first day back to school so the school had to serve them sandwiches. "The learners do not come from privileged communities, they are from the poorest areas in Uitsig. "When they come to the feeding scheme in the morning and you ask them if they ate, they say they did not have anything to eat in the morning before school or the night before because there was nothing to eat at home.

"We received information of who the perpetrator is, and he is a regular criminal in the area and currently on the run but we are following up on any information," Alexander said. Millicent Merton from the Western Cape Education Department said: "A break-in was reported at the school on Monday, July 7, where unknown suspects gained access to the kitchen and stole equipment and non-perishable food items intended for the National School Nutrition Programme. "As a result, the school has been forced to adjust its meal provision and will be serving sandwiches to learners in lieu of warm meals. The incident has been reported to the police. "This senseless act highlights the need for collective protection and care of our schools. The theft of kitchen equipment and food meant for learners is deeply concerning. "Let's work together to safeguard these vital community assets and ensure our children have access to the nutrition they need.' The school was donated with a brand new urn thanks to a business situated in Uitsig, however is still in need of two 150 litre pots. If anyone would like to donate towards to the feeding can contact 067 169 5995. Get your news on the go, click here to join the Cape Argus News WhatsApp channel. Cape Argus

NASCAR ends Prime run at Pocono with 1.89M viewers, down 22% from last year's USA Network race
NASCAR on Prime (Image Source: Getty) Last Sunday's Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway, which aired on Amazon Prime Video, attracted 1.87 million viewers, a 22 percent decline from the 2.4 million who watched last year's USA Network telecast of this race. This transition to streaming is both groundbreaking and creates hurdles for NASCAR and Amazon, who are in their inaugural season in a landmark agreement of live Cup Series broadcasts that began earlier this year. Early streaming experiment reveals both promise and challenges New production touches like HDR video, drone shots, and side-by-side commercials -- similar to those featured in Amazon's Thursday Night Football presentation -- made their streaming debut during the Amazon broadcast, as did another TNF aspect with frequent commercial breaks. — SportsonPrime (@SportsonPrime) These additions, along with the overall analytics integration, have been lauded by critics, but the modest viewership of 1.87 million is a reminder that it remains a while before live sports streaming reaches the same kind of audience scale inherent in traditional cable. But the decline is emblematic of a changing time for audiences consuming sports content and not necessarily showing up as well for major network broadcasts , and even some cable races. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's What Solar Batteries In Pale Might Cost You In 2024 - Check Prices Solar Battery | Search ads Click Here Undo This Pocono race was the 17th of the 2025 Cup Series and the last of the first In-Season Challenge seeding races. Chase Briscoe led the way on track, with booth announcers Adam Alexander, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Steve Letarte bringing it to the viewers at home, while Kim Coon, Marty Snider, and Trevor Bayne manned the pit road. Their chemistry was often talked about, though such was the nature of the streaming experience, with its questions of reach contrasted against the comfort of cable television. Audience numbers reflect a bigger transition in sports broadcasting The Pocono race last summer was also shown on USA Network, still a staple through most cable providers, and drew approximately 2.4 million viewers. And it gave it broader exposure than a traditional streaming show might often receive, especially with older and less streaming-savvy demographics who might not be rushing to sign up for streaming packages. The 22% drop in viewers says more about distribution changes than declining interest. It still puts pressure on NASCAR and Amazon to find that sweet spot of improving production at the expense of accessibility.

The Prime deal fits with larger trends around digital streaming, but at least based on Pocono, the number still needs some work. To extend the reach even further, promotional efforts may increase and provide hybrid access, on cable or broadcast over-the-air, with streaming could be part of the mix.
