Japhta Matotoka, Heins Makofane, Moriti Nkadimeng and Antony Kgalema, Sabelo Sibiya, and Benny Mokwaledi all decided to spend two weeks on the road trying to make a difference in their struggling communities.

The men are scheduled to walk the 370 km, and they started their journey from Payneville in Springs to Turfloop in Polokwane. Their 370 km walk is in an effort to fundraise for drug rehabilitation, gender-based violence, as well as to support the development of small businesses.
