23 September 2020 – Tim Mosdell, CEO of Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN) conducted a bicycle handover ceremony at the launch of the “Karoo Crossing” which is the latest of the Cape Cycle Routes powered by Wesgro. This distribution forms part of the Provincial Sustainable Transport Programme in collaboration with Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works, Pedal Power Association, and Qhubeka Charity.

12 bicycles, were handed over to the Prince Albert Community Trust who have done phenomenal work during the pandemic, serving 47000 meals to those in need. Initially all the focus was on scholar mobility. However Covid-19 has helped us to refine our approach. This has also unified civil society organisations, mentioned Tim Mosdell

The ceremony was attended by Premier of the Western Cape Premier Alan Winde, the Minister of Finance and Economic Opportunities Minister David Maynier, Ingrid Wolfaardt from Prince Albert Community Trust and Azuke Ntapane – General Manager of Prince Albert Community Trust.
