“We are hoping people will notice us on the road and we can create awareness about the work of frontline workers at this time. Our posters say we salute all essentials workers. We will meet some bikers from Johannesburg in Harrismith, but because of Covid-19, we can’t host an event. We just want to create awareness on the road,” said Ramfol.
“We decided to meet up to do a ride to honour frontline workers. We salute the essential workers during this pandemic and the work they do,” he added.
