Limpopo men walk from Tzaneen to Cape Town for service delivery
Two Limpopo men, Madala Tshimbane [39] and Miyelani Ramajela [39] have embarked on a journey to walk over 1,700 kilometres from Tzaneen to Cape Town to deliver a letter of service delivery grievances to Parliament.
Their mission is to raise awareness about service delivery challenges in Mokgolobotho, Dan, and surrounding areas such as Nkowankowa, Petanenge, Khujwana, and Mhlava.

Tshimbane from Mokgoloboto and Ramajela from Dan Extension began their journey on 29 April 2025. Monday marks their 27th day on the road for the two Limpopo men on their walk.
The letter they intend to submit highlights challenges. This include a lack of clean water, proper roads, infrastructure, and consistent electricity.
They often sleep in abandoned houses, filling stations, and police stations while they carry their luggage on foot.
