Africa-Press<\/a> – Lesotho<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Hands of Life (HoL) Cycling organisation will host 35km Independence youth cycling race that is set to take place at Mafeteng in October. HoL Cycling Director T\u0161epang Nkhabu explained to Informative Sport that their<\/p>\n

organisation is a program that uses cycling as the modality to empower leadership skills in youth, so that they can be pioneers, innovators and entrepreneurial in developing communities, and understanding their roles as<\/p>\n

youth. \u201cThe main objective of this tournament is to celebrate Lesotho independence through cycling, the tournament is open to every youth who would like to participate, moreover, cyclist with bikes are expected to register with<\/p>\n

M120 while registration for cyclist without bikes will be M150 as they will be using organisation\u2019s bikes, the registration fee will be used to pay for race<\/p>\n

preparations expenditures. Collected money for registration will help our youth centre which consists of more than 75 youth whom we assist with food, school<\/p>\n

fees and other essential needs,\u201d explained Nkhabu. He mentioned that the race will start from HoL premises to T\u0161akholo and back to the starting point, HoL. He added that the cyclists will<\/p>\n

have to go for the induction training first; where they will learn how to use the gear, treating other road users with care. Also how to turn properly as<\/p>\n

well as a highlight on the road rules and symbols in order to ensure a safe, successful race. \u201cCycling is one of the sport code that improves health and<\/p>\n

fitness so we are expecting to see more youth cyclists competing in this independence tournament, it is true that we are still under the devastating times of Covid-19, therefore the number of cyclists that will be allowed to go<\/p>\n

through this race will be in line with the Covid-19 regulations that will be exercised by that time,\u201d he related. Nkhabu revealed that so far the confirmed sponsor for this<\/p>\n

race is Lesotho Red Cross Society which will supplier with Covid-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). He said there will be prizes for the winners even<\/p>\n

through things have not yet been finalised as some of the companies have not finalised their sponsorship plan. \u201cWe are hoping for donations of bicycles however. Apart from that, all other cyclists will be awarded participation certificates,\u201d Nkhabu disclosed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
