A call for cyclists to join a charity event

Cyclist and philantrophist, Ntwanano Ngobeni and his friends are getting ready for the annual Ahi akaneni Campaign (Lets build each other)

The cyclists will be cycling from Polokwane to N’wamitwa in August where they will be donating food parcels, wheelchairs, walking sticks, spectacles, boots to two disability centres.

The pandemic disrupted their plans as they won’t be able to host the big event they hoped it would be.

“We wanted to donate to about five disability centre in the Tzaneen area, but because of the lockdown regulations, we had to change our plans and opt for a smaller event,” explained Ngobeni.

The team has been training hard in order to be fit for the upcoming charity event.

He calls on more cyclists to join in the challenge to buying a wheelchair which costs between R1500-R2000.
