UCT RAG

SAX Appeal… Say what?!?
It’s the name of the UCT RAG satirical/humorous magazine that gets published annually. It’s massive – usually around 45 000 copies are printed. It sells at R20 each

So…?
It’s no good having 45 000 copies sitting in boxes… We gotta get out there and sell them! In a totally illegal operation, more than 2000 students hit the biggest traffic intersections of the 021 to sell SAX Appeal to motorists. It’s a motorist’s nightmare, but a student’s dream!

Annual Theme:
2010 is the year of the SAX Offender. Think naughty, think cheeky, think SAXxy… and make sure you’ve got handcuffs! It’s a proven fact that SAX sells *wink, so dress up or better still, dress down, coz public indecency isn’t illegal on SAX Appeal day! Check out the event photos and the official website for ideas…

Get Involved:
Res students are automatically part of this insane project. Your Res Reps have all the information, and will get you guys out of bed and onto the buses on 4 February. Just make sure you have your outfit ready (some real hardcore SAX Offenders don’t sleep the night before. Give it a shot – you only live once)

Day Students need to sign up at the RAG stall during Plaza Week, or at the Rag Office (5th Floor, Steve Biko Building – just above the Food Court). You’ll get sms reminders and all your details there.
There will be a bus leaving from the Sports Centre on Upper Campus at 04h30, OR you can go to a depot closest to your home (Find the list of all depots at http://saxappeal.co.za/?page_id=126)

When when when?
4 February 2010. Start time: 04h00. No kidding – gonna be epic! Gotta get there before the traffic gets going. We call it a day during late morning

Why?
We’re raising money for SHAWCO (Students’ Health and Welfare Centres Organisation). Our goal? R750 000 from SAX alone – so sell, darnit, sell!!

There are also prizes up for grabs, as well as tickets to the rocking afterparty. Best Dressed, Most Sales, Most Enthusiastic are a few awards for each of the depots

Things to Bring:
Legendary outfit
Comfy shoes
R20 for your own copy of SAX Appeal
Energy (natural or artificial – you choose)
Catchy signs/posters for those rude motorists who keep their windows rolled up =P

After Party
It’s time to have a jol… when SAX is all over, you’ve got a week to recover before hitting the biggest afterparty since O-Week. Details coming soon…

SAX Lingo:
Sax Appeal – the magazine. Duh.
Depot – the traffic intersection that you’ll be selling at. One of 85 across the greater Cape Town area
Depot Manager – the person who knows Everything. They have the magazines, collect your money, distribute the free cooldrink, etc
Bus – the vehicle used to take you to your depot, and then back home again afterwards.

See you then!

The annual RAG SAX Appeal Magazine is Cape Town’s most prestigious and well-respected student publication. This year UCT RAG is proud to announce the celebration of the magazine’s 76^th Anniversary.

SAX Appeal magazine takes a witty and comical look at events and people both within South Africa and around the globe. Our ever-insightful and humorous contributors for this year include the likes of Gareth Cliff, Ben Trovato and Darrel Bristow-Bovey as well as our very own saucy and amusing editorial team.

Prepare yourself as thousands of UCT students take to the streets of the Mother City, dressed provocatively in themed attire (to be confirmed). So whip out that R20 when you pass one of our enthusiastic sellers on Thursday the 12^th February 2009 and help RAG make well over R600 000 for SHAWCO.

If you are a UCT student and are super eager to dress up in next-to-nothing and do your bit for charity, come up to the RAG office and find out how you can get involved by selling on the day.
