Bikers unite at annual Sapa Yopa Rally
Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) collaborated with the Sapa Yopa Motorcycle Club to stage the 15th annual Sapa Yopa Rally recently.

The Sapa Yopa is among the top motorcycle clubs in the Southern Hemisphere and the 2023 rally attracted over 1 200 bikers over the three days it was hosted at the Polokwane Showgrounds. The rally has become a significant driver of both domestic and international tourism annually since it attracts both local and international visitors.

The events manager of the club, Mokobo Mahapa, said the event was a resounding success. “We are grateful to have partnered with stakeholders such as LTA as that brought financial relief to us.” He said the club is growing and now has over 400 bikers from other Southern African countries such as Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia.”

LTA’s CEO, Moses Ngobeni, said the purpose of LTA’s partnership with Sapa Yopa is to facilitate and build partnerships between public and private sectors thereby fostering tourism marketing and transformation in the tourism industry. “The Sapa Yopa Rally is a mass event bringing thousands of people to the province.
The event helped boost the economy in the province as all the tourism facilities in the surrounding areas were fully booked. The entire tourism value chain and other subsectors such as hospitality, services, filling stations, and accommodation stand to benefit every time a rally of this magnitude comes to our shores,” he said.
