The cyclists, driven by passion, perseverance and a spirit of unity, are Karabo Mokowo from Riba cross in Sekhukhune District aged 21, Mahlakwane Gauta from Ga Mathabathe-Makgoba Capricorn District aged 22, and Ndo Maxwell from Vhembe aged 24.

The three determined young cyclists, known as Gauta BMX, have been on a mission to cycle all the way to Cape Town with hopes of inspiring young people across the country.

Their campaign is also dedicated to raising awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) and other social ills affecting South African communities.

As they travelled across the country, they raised support and manage to collect donations.

Many fellow South Africans were inspired by their journey as they followed along on social media.
