TOPIC: Twenty one motorbike riders are riding to CapeTown

The riders including Isidingo actor, Jack Devnarain and radio personality, Jeremy Mansfield left on a six-day road-trip to work in community projects in various towns en route as their contribution to Mandela Day.

Speaking before the journey began in Johannesburg Devnarain said: “Part of our message is to remind South Africans that we are all inspired and our task is to inspire each other.”

“The great goal is to remind people that Mandela Day is not just about 67 years of sacrifice and service, it is about living a lifetime of sacrifice and service,” he said.

Actor Morgan Freeman is participating in the event although he is not riding a bike.

Freeman said he was happy to take part in Mandela Day.
