The Trek4Mandela expedition sets to take on Africa’s highest peak for a worthy cause
The Trek4Mandela expedition aims to scale mountains to raise awareness for a worthy cause.
The Trek4Mandela expedition will once again see a group of intrepid adventurers taking on Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, to raise funds and create awareness for the Caring4Girls menstrual hygiene programme.
This year the expedition – now in its eighth year – has the honour of having Professor Thuli Madonsela among the roughly 100-strong troop tackling this daunting climb up to 5895 metres above sea level.
Professor Madonsela and her expedition team aim to conquer Kilimanjaro, reaching the summit on 9 August – the day South Africa honours its women.
