Excitement is building for the 2025 Extreme Cycle for Hunger Tour, where cyclists from all backgrounds will traverse four provinces from Johannesburg to Cape Town to raise awareness and funds for Meals on Wheels South Africa, with the DFA providing exclusive on-the-road coverage and JAC South Africa as the official vehicle sponsor.
THE WHEELS are in motion for one of South Africa’s most inspiring annual events. Meals on Wheels South Africa has officially announced the 2025 Extreme Cycle for Hunger Tour, set to take place from February 25 to 7 March 7.
This epic journey will see dedicated cyclists traverse four provinces, from Johannesburg to Cape Town, all in the name of combating hunger and poverty across the nation.
This isn’t just a cycling event – it’s a movement of hope, compassion, and determination. Cyclists from all walks of life, from seasoned professionals to passionate amateurs, will join forces to raise awareness and funds for Meals on Wheels’ vital programmes, which deliver over 30 million meals annually to South Africans in need.
Gershon Naidoo, national programmes and marketing director for Meals on Wheels, shared his enthusiasm: “This event is not only a physical challenge but a testament to the power of collective action. Through the dedication of our cyclists and the generous support of our partners, we can make a significant impact in combating hunger and poverty in South Africa.”
Adding to the excitement, JAC South Africa has stepped up as the official vehicle sponsor for the event. Their reliable vehicles will ensure the safe transportation of cyclists, support staff, and essential equipment.
Karl-Heinz Göbel, CEO of JAC South Africa, emphasised the importance of the partnership: “We believe in the power of cycling to inspire and unite, and we are proud to support this worthy cause.”
