though as I’m a student journalist with them”
“The walk starts now (From Wits to Dutywa/Nqadu Great Place). I am on my own, no car escorting me, nothing for my safety. Jeopardizing my life for the poor in the villages. I seriously need help, I would appreciate any kind of help to make this possible. Let’s please help”
“Today we will definitely take snaps unlike in the previous days when I was on my own without anyone documenting the journey. Today I’ve a feeling that Day 3 is gonna be the best of 3, let’s do it.”
“My body was still recovering from the tiredness of sleeping in a petrol station because of not affording accommodation. Great news!!! We finally got a car, but couldn’t take photos because it was already dark.”
“It was day 2 yesterday,but I couldn’t keep you updated as I am always on the road during the day and resting at night. More about Day 2, I didn’t get to the daily targeted KMs(42) but only did 28km which is bad for myself because I believe I can do way better than that.’
“Day 3/20 Thank you so much for your amazing support! Please continue.
