Preparations for the fourth edition of poet Dr Gasolo’s walkathon meant to amplify arts voices, are on course.
Named the “Dr Gasolo Long Walk To Success”, the event will run for three days, from September 18 to 20, 2025.
The itinerary will start on September 18 from his rural village Matshetsheni in Matabeleland South province before he wraps up the day in Gwanda Town.
On the second day, he will leave Gwanda and sleep at Esigodini before finishing off the journey the next day in Bulawayo.
Dr Gasolo said preparations for the 250 kilometre journey are going on well.
“Our preparations are going on well and the engagements for the walk are proceeding well, barring the usual challenges. We have engaged several sponsors or partners and they have shown interest.
“One such partner has availed the body massage and other services before and after the walk. My co-ordinator, Desmond Ntini is busy with the engagements,” he said.
Dr Gasolo said he is engaging other artistes to join him in the process.
“We are likely to be joined by other walkathons, who feel the cause can be unique. We have an exciting line up and if all goes well, Vusi and Thando the cyclist will join us towards the end of the walk. —@mthabisi_mthire
