As the countdown to the Nedbank Tour de Great Dyke continues, excitement and anticipation are once again building across the Midlands and Mashonaland West regions. For Mimosa Mining Company General Manager, Stephen Ndiyamba, the annual cycling challenge is far more than just a fixture on the sporting calendar — it’s a living symbol of unity, resilience, and shared purpose.
Speaking ahead of the event, Ndiyamba reflected on the deeper meaning of the Tour, describing it as “a journey that mirrors the very character of the Great Dyke itself — long, resilient, and rich with collective strength.”
His words capture the spirit that has transformed the event into one of Zimbabwe’s most admired community-driven sports initiatives.
Over the years, the Tour has become not only a test of physical endurance but also a platform for social impact — raising funds for underprivileged children, supporting community projects, and celebrating the region’s mining heritage.
“The true importance of the Tour lies in the community spirit it ignites,” Ndiyamba said. “It strengthens the bonds between us all and showcases the determination that defines our people.”
For Mimosa, the challenge also underscores the company’s commitment to promoting wellness and teamwork beyond the workplace. Employees from different levels participate side by side, embodying the very unity the Tour seeks to inspire.
As the peloton prepares to roll out across the Great Dyke, Ndiyamba’s message is clear: the road ahead is not just about kilometers — it’s about connection, courage, and community.
