CYCLIST Meli Ndlovu on Monday morning left Midrand in South Africa for Bulawayo on a journey he hopes to complete in record time.
This year, Ndlovu will be joined by two cyclists; Presmore Musundi and Rollan Dube as they aim to travel the 865km distance in three days.
They are set to arrive in Bulawayo on Wednesday.
Ndlovu became famous when he made claims to have cycled from Midrand, South Africa to Bulawayo in less than two days two years ago. The claims sparked debate about whether it is possible to cycle such a distance in those hours.
The feat became a subject of debate on social media platforms, with some disputing Ndlovu’s claim that he left Midrand on Saturday at around 3 am and reached Bulawayo on Monday at around 1 pm.
