Human Rights - SA2Uganda team is back in Cape Town

In today's show, we spoke to Oscar de Waal - Leader of the SA2Uganda Team. We were talking about the outcome of their long-haul ride in support of quality education in South Africa. Four intrepid bikers namely Peter Pretorius, Gerhard, Oscar and Rosca de Waal have arrived safely back in Cape Town after they departed for Kampala, Uganda, in early December last year. Following the adventure, dubbed SA2UGANDA, that was undertaken to raise money for Quality Education for South Africa which is an initiative of Symphonia for South Africa, focused on improving the state of education in the country through its School @ the Centre of Community programme. The team averaged up to 550 kilometres on some stretches having passed through some of Africa’s most remote communities in the course of their expedition, the group visited a total of ten countries (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Lesotho) - battling blistering heat, treacherous winds and unexpected thunder storms on the way.
