Wild Bean Café - A Story In Every Cup

Wild Bean Café - A Story In Every Cup

Seeking to drive a positive narrative, which focuses on authentic and inspirational South African stories, relayed by ordinary South Africans. Wild Bean Café is heating things up a notch in 2020 with its DESIGN A CUP COMPETITION - which celebrates and showcases young design and art talent.

This year customers also have an opportunity to take part in this exciting competition, by simply sharing stories on what they love most about Mzansi to culminate in this year’s theme, “A STORY IN EVERY CUP.”

Launched in 2019, Wild bean Café piloted the Design a Cup campaign with Vega School, affording young local visual communication students an amazing platform to showcase their design skills. The contestants blew judges away with their creativity and unique designs, inspired by Mzansi’s vibrant culture and experiences.

“The success achieved in the Wild Bean Café 2019 Design a cup competition, was a clear indication to magnify the campaign in 2020, by making it inclusive and accessible to a broader reach of young visual communication and graphic designer students nationwide” says BPSA’s head of Wild Bean Café, Danielle Croza.

Double Expresso

This powerful campaign message, “A STORY IN EVERY CUP,” not only personifies Wild Bean Café’s authentic and contemporary brand personality, but also connects beautifully with its coffee journey. The competition will be amplified through partnerships that share the brand’s vision to promote youth talent, while enabling a connection with a wider target audience.

Richardt Ackerman leads Waterkloof Hoerskool to the Cricket South Africa Schools T20 Challenge Title for the second time

Hoërskool Waterkloof the Titans franchise representatives won the 2020 CSA Schools T20 title, beating SACS of the Cape Cobras by 15 runs in the final at the Tuks Oval on Sunday.

It was Waterkloof’s 2^nd title – they won the tournament in 2011 – and they were good value for their victory in high quality final that saw 357 runs scored – the most in the 11 finals held since the competition was first staged.

Waterkloof batted first and after a slowish start their middle order, led by Hardus Coetzer

And Richardt Ackerman, ignited the innings and they eventually got to 186/6 in their two overs. Coetzer ended up on 77 not out, off 54 balls and he struck eight fours and a six . Ackerman made 28 off 12 balls.

It was always going to be a massive task for SACS, but they gave it full go and were up with the run-rate for most of the innings. They lost a flurry of wickets in the last few overs, however, and ended up 15 runs short. When Daniel Smith (50) and Kai Curran (46) were at the wicket their chances looked good. They put on 78 for the second wicket, before Smith was run out by a brilliant throw from the boundary and SACS were chasing the game from then on.

It was Ackerman who did the damage with the ball for Waterkloof. He took 4/17 in his four overs and he was named the man of the match for that performance, along with his 28 not out.

Waterkloof’s SW Kemp made 45 in the final, taking his tally for the week to 206 runs. He was named the batman of the tournament and, as he also took wickets in all of Waterkloof’s games, he was also the player of the tournament.

Oscar Welsh of SACS took 15 wickets over the four days and was given the bowler of the tournament award.
