A third-year University of KwaZulu-Natal student is running to promote agriculture and keep his hometown of KwaMaphumuloSamkelo Nzama’s solo run from Johannesburg to KwaMaphumulo in KwaZulu-Natal is raising funds to start a non-profit organisation to tackle issues he is passionate about.“I believe that by doing this run I can transform the lives of community members.
“KwaMaphumulo or Kranskop is a rural area, known for sugar cane harvesting. People in the area depend on agriculture for a living. I am saddened that the waste in our communities kills our livestock and crops. People are unaware of how to manage waste ecologically and eventually it washes into our rivers. Tin cans lying around often injure cattle and donkeys. Plastic and paper are eaten by livestock, causing sickness or death,” he explained.His journey will end on March 16.
