Following another successful CycAlive relay cycle, riders from three schools gathered in Soweto to hand over donated school and sports supplies to disadvantaged schools.
The handover took place in Kliptown and saw the Grade 11 boys of Orchards-based Torah Academy Boys’ High School, together with their Soweto partner schools, Pace Commercial Secondary School and Moletsane High School, hand over stationery and sports equipment to various schools in the area, including the Future Angels Nursery School in Kliptown.

Speaking at the handover was Rabbi Yossi Chaikin, principal of Torah Academy. “Despite having no running water, electricity, sewerage system or garbage collection, the people of Kliptown are so happy with the donation,” he said.
The CycAlive relay ride is an annual fundraising event which sees participants from the three schools, along with a team from Israel, ride 750km from Johannesburg to Durban using mostly back routes.
This year’s ride took place on 21 August and included a grand send-off in Houghton at the Nelson Mandela Centre for Memory which endorsed the initiative.
