Meanwhile, the trio has now entered the Western Cape Province. Limpopo Sport, Arts and Culture MEC Funani Jerry Maseko has hailed the cyclists as true ambassadors of hope and resilience. He added that their journey demonstrates the power of sport to unite, uplift and motivate young people.

“These young cyclists are not only challenging themselves physically. But they are also carrying the dreams of a generation. Their journey is a reminder to our youth that nothing is impossible if you believe, prepare, and persevere,” said MEC Maseko.

MEC Maseko further encouraged communities across the country to cheer on the trio as they made their way to the Mother City.

“Let this ride be a message to all young people that your background does not define your sports ambitions. Dream big, and ride on,” he said.
