WIN: The Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair
BRYANSTON – The event aims to raise awareness for Qhubeka and the exceptional work it does in under-resourced communities.
Cycling enthusiasts should prepare to get on the seat at The Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair hosted at St Stithians College.
The event runs from 21 to 23 October, and residents are encouraged to join in on the day to help raise awareness of Qhubeka, which gives bicycles to children who travel distances to get to school.
