Born to be wild: AJ Venter heads towards the Irish seas yet again

EVERY few weeks (or pretty much as often as possible) I try to profile South Africans that are doing extraordinary things right here and abroad.

- 

These stories are beautiful and I believe they are incredibly important and motivational too. They inspire hope and we need as much of that as we can get, right now. Seen the meme about spreading kindness like Nutella? I think we should try to spread it on thick and shine as much light on all the positive things happening around us and shining those same spotlights on our fellow South Africans who are doing good, representing us far and wide as well as making a difference in whatever field they're in.

The next South African making waves yet again is our very own Evel Knievel, AJ Venter. I say this as AJ has already taken part in eight Isle of Man Tourist Trophies and to me making it through all of those sneaky twists and turns are huge stunts within themselves and completing that circuit once is a gigantic achievement so to be going in for a ninth time is absolutely incredible.
