The government and Telkom have handed out bicycles to children from two rural communities who have to travel more than 10 kilometres to school and back every day.
Hang out a kilometre high over Cape Town, or over crashing waves at the western head at Knysna, do a combination abseiling and canyoning trip on the Storms River Gorge, or rapp jump down buildings in Durban and Johannesburg. Gravity sucks in spectacular fashion in South Africa!
