Cycling Club Thembalethu

First Cycling Club for Thembalethu High

History was made in George with the establishment of a cycling club for Thembalethu High on Monday 30 November 2009. House of Ngamathuba(Xhosa word for opportunity), discovered the need for cycling in Thembalethu and decided to pro-actively support cycling in Thembalethu.

Generous Sponsorship

Pedal Power Association of South Africa donated 10 bicycles with protective headgear. This action triggered the establishment of Thembalethu Bicycle Club. The bicycles were donated to ten learners who will participate as a development team under the support of House of Ngamathuba. The bicycles are owned by the club as it will continuously be used by learners who want to participate in the sport.

Support for Cycling Club

Continuous training and racing cycling events are the important goals for 2010. The next step is to raise support to get cycling gear like clothes and shoes for these learners for them to become true ambassadors for the sport. Any support is welcome!
