On 20 October, Lowveld Canoe club is hosting the annual TRAC Lowveld Croc Canoe Race. It is a race that stretches across one of the most beautiful and picturesque areas in the Lowveld in the Schoeman’s kloof valley and brings together some of SA’s toughest and skilled paddlers to navigate their way down river. It starts below the Kwena dam and runs through the heart of valley, protected by the local farms and farmers. This river has clean water and a guaranteed water release, promising fun for all paddlers. We are so looking forward to see the guys and girls who come down every year to put their skills to the test. We are also grateful for the generous support from our sponsor TRAC which enables us to bring down the Soweto Development team. Thank you Lowveld Media and Coca-Cola for your partnership, our paddlers are always pleased to meet you at the finish line 🏁 Gauteng Canoe Union Laevelder / Lowvelder Canoeing South Africa

Lowveld Canoe Club joined canoeists all over the country this morning, as they paddled in red in memory of much-loved legend John Oliver - a bearded figure known to many at the end of races as he recorded their finishing times. John played an integral part in the development of canoeing as he watched and helped many canoeists grow. Sadly after a complicated operation, John died last week, aged 74. Our condolences to his family and loved ones, he will truly be missed by the whole paddling community in South Africa.
