The annual Lake Ngami Cycle Classic, hosted by MMG Khoemacau over the weekend, has raised over P1.1 million towards community development initiatives, with more than 800 participants taking part in this year’s edition.
Now in its fifth edition, the event attracted cyclists, walkers and spectators, including Chief Rider and Mascom CEO Makwade, as well as Chief Walker Candy Godie, General Manager of Sandfire Motheo Operations, among other participants.
Speaking at the event, MMG Khoemacau General Manager, Logic Sebobeng, said the initiative goes beyond sport, highlighting its contribution to improving livelihoods in communities surrounding the mine.
“Every kilometre that we walked and rode today contributed to a noble cause aimed at changing the lives of our community members. Every kilometre we walk or cycle has the potential to change the life of a student in our schools or improve the lives of communities by helping provide water to the villages within our areas of operation,” said Sebobeng.
Sebobeng revealed that this year’s edition had raised over P1.1 million, expressing appreciation to sponsors and partners whose support made the event possible.
He noted that the funds would go a long way towards advancing efforts to address pressing developmental needs in communities within the mine’s zone of influence
