PROPOSAL 25 FEB - 8 MAR 2020

The first Xtreme for Kids Cycle tour in 2013 had three participants,

no sponsorship, little back up support. relied on the good will of

Samaritans on the way and the support of the South African Police

Services. Through media exposure millions heard their messages

and they reached thousands of children. The successful impact of

the visits to the schools in the rural areas, motivated Matla A Bana

to develop several school programs to accompany the tour.

During the next tours actors like Ivan Zimmerman and Llandi Pelser

(Republic of Zoid) joined on the stage. Our child protection heroes -

Captain Bully Buster, Moompi and Smiley educated them on

bullying, the dangers of keeping secrets, recognizing tricksters and

their tricks and protecting themselves against them. To date

thousands of children have heard these important messages.

During the six years of its existence, more than 45 cyclists have

entered. To date five cyclists have managed to complete the full

tour – Dirk Lourens (our tour leader – 7 successful tours), Allan

Klette (business consultant – 3 successful tours), Andre Van Rooyen

(SAPS Cycling team – 2 successful tours), Gerrit Jonker (SAPS cycling

team - 1 successful tour) and Marco Calitz (Professional – 2

successful tours).

Since its humble beginnings, the Xtreme for Kids Cycle Tour has

made its mark as one of the most difficult, but also life changing

cycling events in South Africa. This tour is not about cycling only –

it is about overcoming extreme conditions, team spirit,

experiencing true South African hospitality and about touching

and changing lives.

Not only did they commit to cycle from Johannesburg to Cape Town to raise awareness of child abuse in South Africa, but they also agreed to reach out to rural communities by speaking at schools on the way.
