30 KIDS, A GO-CART AND 2_000KM OF ROAD

THIRTY Mpumalanga primary school children are pushing a go-cart for a gruelling 2 000 km from Komatipoort to Cape Town as part of an crime awareness campaign. The 18-day race started at 7am on Monday and the children were headed for Middelburg on Wednesday. The children hope to reach the mother city on October 6. The race is being organised by the National Institute for Crime Prevention and Re-integration of Offenders (Nicro) who managed to raise R250 000 in the same race in 1999. The children sleep over at guest houses and school hostels on their journey. – African Eye News Service
