7February 2020 – Fatima Sookharia
Salaamedia embarks on the fourth annual #Ride4Education this February.
The child seeking an education under the most trying of circumstances is our focus. We aim to make this ride an eye-opening one while documenting the needs and challenges faced by learners seeking an education despite the long sandy paths walked, and the dangers faced along the way. We hope to make this project memorable and fruitful.
This time, the cyclists will brave a route starting in Musina, at the Zimbabwean border and then make their way down to Kwa Zulu Natal.
Along this route, the team of cyclists will be visiting schools that are otherwise forgotten in the most rural parts of Southern African. The plight of the impoverished school learner will be highlighted,and their challenges amplified as the team aims to visit the most impoverished schools along the route coming down to Kwa-Zulu Natal.
This year the team will be starting in Musina at the Zimbabwean Border and then doing a distance of approximately 2000 km through three provinces before making their way to Chatsworth, KwaZulu Natal.
The cyclists will begin the lengthy 2020 ride on Monday 17th February and will be visiting the following towns
