Ziphezinhle’s story

Ziphezinhle is in grade 12 and received his Qhubeka Bicycle in August 2017. Before he had the bicycle, it took him 55 minutes to walk to school every day. Now, he says, it takes him only 15 minutes. Click to Tweet.

“The bicycle helped to reduce the stress of walking and it has given me a lot of time for doing other necessary things,” he says. He uses the bicycle to get to school sports activities and the shops, and says he now has more time to spend studying or researching. “The best thing about the bicycle is that it is easy to maintain,” he says.
