Hoërskool Marais Viljoen's rugby coach fresh from a match against Kenya
Hoërskool Marais Viljoen rugby coach, Shane Kirkwood, who is also the director of the Alberton Rugby Club, has just returned from co-captaining the Super Barbarians in their match against Kenya's 15s rugby team, the Simbas. The match formed part of the Simbas' tour of South Africa and was played on Tuesday, June 24, in Nylstroom, Limpopo. 'Shane Kirkwood, a proud Marais Viljoen alumnus and current rugby coach at our school, has been selected as co-captain of the prestigious Super Barbarians rugby team,' said Hoërskool Marais Viljoen in a statement. Kirkwood joined forces with his long-time friend and former Pumas teammate, Etienne 'Mot' Taljaard, for the game. The Simbas, however, secured their second win of the South African tour, narrowly defeating the Super Barbarians 27–24 despite the Barbarians' determined performance. 'A special memory. Super Barbarians vs Kenya, 27–24 loss. Great effort,' said John Kirkwood after the match. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!

Are Disney musicals too scary for children? How to prepare your child to watch stage shows
Whenever Disney premieres a new stage musical, we see all over again how much of a draw they can be for families with children. Advertisement Think of Disney musicals like Frozen and The Lion King , where rapt children in their Elsa dresses or those clutching their stuffed Simbas remain glued to their theatre seats. But from what age are the themes of such musicals really suitable for children, and how can they be best prepared for what they will be seeing on stage? Officially, children aged three and up are allowed to attend a Disney live-action musical. Stephan Jaekel, the director of communications at theatre operator Stage Entertainment in Hamburg, Germany, says that it is extremely rare that children have to be turned away, since parents and legal guardians usually respect the minimum-age rule. 'But of course we sometimes see parents actually having to leave the auditorium with their children while watching The Lion King, for example, because the child can't be calmed down and asks: 'Is [Mufasa] really dead?', Jaekel says.
