Over the weekend, Monareng passed through the City of Polokwane heading towards the South.

“I choose the wheelbarrow because I want this challenge,” he said as he took some rest in the City.

“I want to test my mentality on this journey. It’s not the first time to do this. I am the first man in Africa to run with a wheelbarrow.

“The most important thing is that I want to be the ambassador of this country to show everyday children that everything is possible. As long as you can follow your dream, you can do it. That’s why I told myself that I want to be a role model for children.”
