AFTER an odyssey that took them through several African countries, cycling couple Thando Tshuma and Vusumuzi Mnkandla, who arrived in Zimbabwe last month, are now in the home stretch of their journey.
A welcome party is planned for their arrival in Bulawayo on April 19, with their welcome party expected at 10am.
The couple began its epic expedition in Bulawayo on April 10, 2024, cycling through South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and their native Zimbabwe.
Having re-entered Zimbabwe through Kanyemba Border Post in March, the two are set to arrive at Kamandazi in Bulawayo, after spending the last few days in the Midlands Province.
“We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the organisers and everyone involved in planning our upcoming welcome event,” Tshuma said.
The couple has pedalled its way into record books, completing an astounding 13 300km journey that has seen Tshuma become the first black female bicycle traveller from Zimbabwe.
