A MEMORIAL cycle from Durban to uMhlanga will commemorate and celebrate the life of Charlie Van Heerden, who was tragically shot in his Northdene home during an armed robbery last week. Cyclists will set off from Bike and Bean at 6am on Saturday, 8 February.
Led by Van Heerden’s son, Deno Van Heerden, the cyclists will head to uMhlanga in convoy and circle back.
“He cycled and there’s a massive community that knew him. He played a huge role in many people’s lives. It’s tragic that he was suddenly taken from us. This is a way that we can get together and celebrate his life,” said Deno.
