“I’m scared. Very scared. But then again, if I wasn’t, there would be no need for God to be a part of it. To every single one that has wished us well, thank you. We need all the support,” said Peteni Kuzwayo.

“2 runners and 1 Corporate believe 748 000 steps could be part of the solution. You know the mission just got REAL when the keys are handed over. No turning back now – especially when the 3 support cars are built for the LONG RUN.
“Thank you Team @isuzusa for allowing us to just focus on chasing a min of R6 million @ a pace of 6.30 mins per km,” wrote Peteni Kuzwayo.
