RS South Africa, in partnership with Qhubeka Charity through the Inqolobane Trust, is continuing to make a tangible difference in the lives of South African learners. Through its bicycle donation initiative, 354 bicycles have been distributed to date, empowering students to access education more easily by reducing the physical and economic barriers posed by long daily commutes.
As part of this year’s rollout, bicycles have been delivered to high schools in various provinces. These distributions targeted primarily Grade 9, 11 and 12 learners, whose schooling is critical to long-term academic success. The initiative recognises that for many learners, walking long distances to school consumes time and energy that should be dedicated to studying.
The initiative was inspired by RS South Africa’s managing director, Brian Andrew, who rode a Qhubeka bicycle during the 97 km Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg in November 2022. His experience sparked the #Qhubeka1000 fundraising initiative. Through this partnership, RS South Africa has continued to make a meaningful contribution to Qhubeka’s bicycle distribution and mobility programmes, helping to expand access to reliable transport for learners in underserved communities. Reflecting on the partnership, Andrew explained, “This collaboration with Qhubeka is about more than just bicycles; it is about giving young South Africans a real chance to succeed. Mobility plays a crucial role in education, and by reducing the time and effort it takes to get to school, we are helping to unlock opportunities that can change lives. It is an honour for RS South Africa to play a part in this journey.”
