Gifted Children Foundation co-ordinator Emily Hwengwere expressed her gratitude towards on being the beneficiaries of the Nedbank Tour de Great Dyke proceeds which has enabled them to assist children from primary, secondary and tertiary.
“So far, we have supported around 105 students returning to school, both at primary and secondary levels. Among them, several have successfully completed A Levels, O Levels, and even university degrees,” Hwengwere said.
“The collaboration of these organisations is crucial in ensuring students not only complete their studies but also thrive in their chosen fields.”
Over 300 cyclists are expected to take to the road for the gruelling tour this year, with the veteran 83-year cyclist Wilson Dube absent for the first time after suffering an injury last year.
