Kimberley Prytz, a Capetonian adventure swimmer, will become the first person in history to swim from Melkbostrand to Robben Island and back when she takes to the Cape’s unpredictable waters later this month.
Prytz, who will turn 49 years old in May, hails from the Cape’s Southern Suburbs and is a music teacher who teaches singing and piano. She’s also an avid karate practitioner. She incorporates Qi Gong and Tai Chi into her daily training practice.
Govender says, “We are delighted that Kim has chosen Goedgedacht as her charity of choice as she swims this gruelling course. Our Path Onto Prosperity centres is not just beacons of hope in the rural communities of the Swartland but catalysts for a brighter future too. As we celebrate 30 years, we are so very grateful for friends like Kim who support our work and allow us to make a difference where it matters most.
