South African sailor Kirsten Neuschäfer made history after becoming the first woman to win the prestigious Golden Globe round-the-world race.
After setting off on the epic 48 000km journey on 4 September last year, the 39-year-old had spent almost 235 days alone at sea. Before setting off on the challenge, Neuschäfer explained:"I truly love adventure - it really is what drives me. And I love to undertake these adventures alone and know that I only have myself to rely on once I am out there, to know that I will have to dig deep within myself to find the strength that I need to overcome the inevitable obstacles.

The error resulted in an uproar and comes several days after after Nobel Prize-winning Ukrainian Oleksandra Romantsova, who heads Ukraine's Center for Civil Liberties, called on the government to re-think its friendly relations with Russia as it wages war on Kyiv. While South Africa's dual commitment to both the ICC and Russia has become a diplomatic headache for the nation, it maintains its support for President Vladimir Putin, who has been invited to attend the BRICS Summit in South Africa in August 2023.
