ANNOUNCEMENT STATEMENT: THE JOURNEY AFRICA LEGACY WALKATHON

We are proud to announce The Journey Africa Legacy Walkathon, brought to you by The Legacy Events — an extraordinary 2,300km journey of purpose, unity, and resilience, from Maputo, Mozambique, to Cape Town, South Africa.

This historic walkathon will span approximately 90 days, connecting cities, cultures, and communities across the African landscape. The route begins in the vibrant City of Maputo, making its way through Mpumalanga (Mbombela, Witbank), Gauteng (Pretoria), North West (Rustenburg, Mafikeng), Northern Cape (Kuruman, Upington), and culminating in the scenic Western Cape (Cape Town).

More than just a walk — this is a movement. The Journey Africa Legacy Walkathon celebrates African heritage, unity, and legacy. Along the route, we will host City-to-City Activations, inviting community members to participate in their local mini walkathons — walking alongside us, sharing stories, and leaving their footprints on a journey that symbolizes endurance, hope, and connection.

Each step represents the strength of our people, the spirit of Ubuntu, and the vision of a continent walking together toward progress and legacy.

We invite all Africans, partners, and supporters to join us, walk with us, or cheer us on along the way — because this is not just our journey, it’s Africa’s journey.

The Journey Africa Legacy Walkathon — brought to you by The Legacy Events.

Clearing out my drafts, I came across one of my unseen interviews from the Giyani to Cape Town 40-Day Walkathon about 1,009km, which I completed in just 23 days. At one point, I attempted a 24-hour non-stop walk, which stretched beyond the 24 hours, and by then I had already covered 1,000km. I was making history, yet I still had 880km left to go.

Eight years later, that fire is still burning. I remain thirsty for another challenge, even bigger, even longer. And now, in just a few days, I’ll be taking on what feels like a “mere” 137km journey from Johannesburg to Potchefstroom in 3 days.

This one is special: it’s in celebration of 11 years of The Journey Legacy, which was born in 2014 with our very first official walk from Johannesburg to Bloemfontein in 5 days. The rest, as they say, is history and the journey continues.
