We have worked very closely with Alec Lenferna, CEO of KZN Cycling, over the past few years to establish a pioneering cycling project that will see us teach 5000 young people a year from the most deprived rural areas how to ride and maintain bikes.
There was further success on the evening for KZN Cycling with elite cyclist Miles Liebenberg winning the Junior Sportsman of the Tear Award. A rising star of international cycling, Miles was a Gold Medallist at this year’s Youth Commonwealth Games.
David Geldart from the partnership said “Alec and his amazing team deserve great credit for their exceptional work and this award is fitting recognition. From grassroots level, working with some of the most marginalised young people in the country, through to elite level they have developed a comprehensive pathway of opportunities and provision that is exceptional. “
