Bishops R930k for Langa
People’s Post Claremont & Rondebosch
|September 09, 2025
The energy inside Bishops Diocesan College was electric this past weekend as hundreds of cyclists came together for the 24-Hour Cycle Challenge, raising more than R930 000 for the VUSA Rugby and Learning Academy in Langa.
Now in its fifth year, the event has grown into Cape Town’s biggest stationary cycling fundraiser, bringing together schools, corporates, families, and even DHL Stormers players.
From Saturday morning, 6 September, through to the early hours of Sunday 7 September, participants kept the wheels turning nonstop in support of VUSA’s work with over 1400 children.
The academy, founded more than 20 years ago by Bishops Prep teacher Brendan Fogarty, provides after-school education, tutoring, nutrition, structured sport, arts, and mentoring to children in Langa.
The aim is to create safe spaces for learners to grow and thrive.

Will Sona optimism translate to real change?
While President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke of a strengthening rand, falling inflation, and renewed investor confidence during his State of the Nation Address (Sona) at Cape Town City Hall on Thursday 12 February, many of us woke up the next morning to a far less reassuring reality: dry taps, rising living costs, unemployment queues, and neighbourhoods where safety cannot be taken for granted.
