Six cyclists taking part in the 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗟𝗔 𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗔’𝗦 𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗞𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯, made a pit-stop in Graaff-Reinet earlier this week, during which they paid a visit to the little learners of the Union Preparatory School, Graaff-Reinet.
The cycle tour – including the cyclists and a group of support staff presenting an educational programme about bullies at schools – left Johannesburg on 28 February and covered 2000km over two weeks to arrive in Cape Town today, Sunday, 12 March.

The kids – who thoroughly enjoyed the 25-minute show – were taught about the different types of bullying (including that of adult perpetrators) and what to do when being bullied. He also presented each of our learners with a special gift – a little “worry worm” as well as a Captain Bully Buster badge.
