Limpopo boys pedal with a big purpose
The three determined boys from Limpopo’s Gauta BMX Club are cycling over 1,700km from Burgersfort to Cape Town. Their mission is to raise funds for their bike club, which aims to offer the youth a positive alternative to drugs and gangsterism.
Since starting on 2 April 2025, they’ve faced tough weather, bike breakdowns and limited resources. Despite these challenges, they’ve received overwhelming support from South Africans, including accommodation, food and even police escorts.
