While in front of the gates to the buildings the bikers plan to slow down their bikes as well as lay white roses and crosses.

Bikers from across South Africa will come together in the hopes of taking a stance against racism and farm murders in SA.

Bikers will on 29 August, travel a 50km circuit which will see them pass the gates of the Union Buildings. Bikers plan to also lay white roses and crosses in front of the gates as a way to communicate their message.
