SA's speed princess lives life to the full
South Africa produces women who are as tough as steel – but who also can be as soft as flower petals.
One such woman is Janine Mitchell, a National Superbike racer and the second fastest woman on a motorcycle in South Africa.
“There’s one woman who’s a little quicker than me,” Mitchell says with a soft laugh. “She’s my best friend.” That woman is Nicole van Aswegen.
Both are the only women in superbike racing in South Africa and they race against – typically – a field of 18 men in this country.
The entry for motorcycle racing in the country is at club level, then riders progress to regional contests and on to the nationals.
“The guys are friendly – they’re nice – but sometimes I wonder if they really accept it that I race. That’s why it’s nice having Nicole – the two of us.
“At first we weren’t that friendly because we were competing against each other but since a year back we get on really well,” says Mitchell, 21.
Her message to South African women on Women’s Day/Month is: “You only live once; don’t let people dictate to you, and live life to the full.”
Janine also believes in Italian professional motorcycle racer and multiple MotoGP World champion Valentino Rossi’s five Ps: “Perfect preparation prevents poor performance.”
Rossi is one of the highest achieving motorbike racers of all time.
Besides her love of speed, Mitchell loves the camera. She has entered Miss South Africa, with little preparation beforehand, and came in the top 100.
When she’d just left school she was chosen by an FHM talent scout for a photo shoot, and in 2009 she was among Sports Illustrated magazine’s Top Five Sporting Beauties in South Africa.
Mitchell loves all feminine things and when in East London , the day before Women’s Day, she took time out to twirl among the Watsonia flowers in a huge field above the Grand Prix track, wearing a shweshwe dress.
Racing in East London, whose track is the fastest in the country, prepared Mitchell for her current six-month contract, which will see her zooming around Kyalami.

Also isn’t there a type of epilepsy that effects the intestines first?
I am also assuming the doctors tested her for a normal balance of her intestinal flora and fauna. Yeast, acidophilus, etc.
And have you considered that a single test that would come and go for 7 years until finally some one figured out that my ureter, the tube that drains my kidney into my bladder, was not growing with my body. It was just stretching longer and longer. So essentially my kidney was not draining at the same rate it was filtering. and the resultant pressure, after 7 years, killed it. But it didn’t show up on blood or kidney tests. The only other symptom was high blood pressure. But since the other tests were normal they ruled out the kidney.
