Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Dr Ismail Vadi, will on Tuesday, 19 February 2019, donate 130 bicycles to learners in schools from Eersterust, Pretoria.
The handing over of bicycles is part of the Shovakalula Bicycle Project, a national initiative by the Department of Transport, that seeks to provide ease of mobility to learners walking over three kilometers between home and school.
Furthermore, the project’s objective is to maximise the use of non-motorised transport, enabling communities to access social opportunities.
It also seeks to promote cycling as a low-cost mobility solution to low income households, targeting mainly learners.
