11-year-old becomes youngest person to swim from Robben Island to Cape Town
Cape Town – An 11-year-old girl from Jeffreys Bay on Friday morning became the youngest person ever to swim the 7.9km distance between Robben Island and Big Bay in Blouberg, Cape Town.
Abriella Bredell took this challenge upon herself to raise money for the Red Cross Children’s Hospital.
In an April 2017 Facebook post, Bredell wrote: “My goal is to swim the Robben Island Channel this December in order to raise funds for my favourite charity, The Red Cross Children’s Hospital”.
Bredell has pledged to raise R2m for the hospital.
