The Nelson Mandela Foundation based in Houghton and in conjunction with Ride4Hope launched Mandela Month by planting a tree on July 1 at Avianto in Muldersdrift.
This was a way for both parties to reaffirm their commitment to working with communities to alleviate poverty and inequality.
The Nelson Mandela Legacy Ride4Hope is a cycling event mandated by the Nelson Mandela Foundation to honour Madiba’s legacy.
The annual event has created a platform to spread Mandela’s message of hope- far and wide as it cuts across two provinces: Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
At the launch Ride4Hope unveiled the official jersey for the September 2023 four-day ride, starting from Nelson Mandela’s house on Vilakazi Street in Soweto and ending at the site of his capture in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal.
During the ride, both riders and crew engage in community upliftment activities as a means of giving back to society. The proceeds from the jersey sales support the work of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
