Bikers for Mandela Day
A group of 21 motorbike riders and a support team of around 20 people travelled from Johannesburg on a six-day road trip from Johannesburg to Cape Town to spread the word about Mandela Day. Actor Morgan Freeman participated in the event, although he wasn't riding a bike. The trip ended in Cape Town on Mandela Day, July 18, 2010.
The bikers, including Jack Devnarain, Jeremy Mansfield, Lehlohonolo Saint Seseli and Hanna Grobler, worked on community projects in various towns en route as their contribution to Mandela Day.
Here we have a selection of photographs from their trip.
