Each department within Western Cape Government is represented by a four-member team; comprising the Premier or the respective minister, head of department or senior manager, an employee and an intern; and will be competing head-to-head with each other.
The Team Leader Board is based on the steps recorded by each participant on the e|Care Steps Tracker System (one point is awarded when reaching a weekly personal step target and one bonus point when reaching the weekly stretch target). Based on the database, it appears that several Walk4Health participants did not log their steps on the e|Care tracker system. The initial teething problems with the system have been sorted, enabling logging of steps targets and achievements on a weekly basis.
Below are the results for the four-member teams for the first three weeks of the challenge:
