Tzaneen to Tanzania with pedals
Adventure enthusiast, Nyiko Masango is taking the 'Presence into fatherhood' campaign to a whole new level.
Masango will be cycling from Tzaneen to Tanzania with the aim of fighting for fathers’ rights in their children’s lives from Tuesday, September 24.
“The campaign is about men taking their rightful position in their children’ lives, which is being a protector, provider and guider,” he explained.
He will be cycling 3400km through Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi until he reach his destination.
As if that wasn’t enough he will also be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, just days after his arrival.
“I’m tired of living a routine life, I want to stretch myself and this is a good challenge to self.

“There is more to explore in life and I refuse to be limited to what I know and have done so far,” he added.
The Fatherhood Campaign started in 2017 when he was fighting to have access to his son and he made a statement by walking 100km from Polokwane to Tzaneen.
The walk grew to an annual event and has seen many people from all over the country taking part in the occasion.
Masango eventually achieved his right as a dad in his child’s life, but says he is doing this for the fathers who are still denied access to their kids’ lives.
He also appealed to the whole community and local businesses to assist his campaign through sponsorship in the form of accomodation or any form of contributions which be helpful in journey.
The 100km walk will be in November and for more details, visit his Facebook page Mr Dynamix.
