The founder of Benoni NPO Love Authentic, Baveesha Naran, couldn’t contain her excitement when her friends from the organisation, Bidii Yetu, arrived at Dingo’s Pub in Lakedene on June 10.
The trip started in Swakopmund in Namibia on May 12, with a team of adaptive and able-bodied cyclists pedalling into Botswana and South Africa. They will then ride to Eswatini and their 3 000km journey will end in Maputo, Mozambique after 50 days of cycling.Naran got involved in this adventure from the beginning. She said it was important they stopped in Benoni as it’s where her activism found its ground.
“My organisation, which raises awareness for people with vitiligo, is involved with Bidii Yetu and we aim to let people know they have to love their authentic selves,” she said.Bidii Yetu, meaning ‘our resilience’, started as an idea by Kula to travel across Africa, which he couldn’t pursue because of the pandemic.
“We also want to raise funds and equipment for organisations of people living with disabilities on our route,” said Kula.One of the beneficiaries of Bidii Yetu’s drive is Vusi Marenene from the Western Cape, who linked up with the cyclist in Benoni.
