The Herald goes back, way back, to 23 October 1987 for this week’s #ThrowbackThursday.
Vicky van Zyl, branch manager of Run/ Walk for Life Randfontein.
It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 23 October 1987 to see what was in the news.
On page 9 in that edition, under the headline Run for life …, we reported about Run (and Walk) for Life, a world first in multi-centred, scientifically supervised exercise programmes to promote well-being that began on the West Rand.
The Herald caught up with Vicky van Zyl, branch manager of Run/ Walk for Life Randfontein 32 years later, to find out more about the club as well as how far they’ve come.
