The Nedbank Tour de Great Dyke continues to inspire hope and unity, with cyclists describing the event as one that “brings people together, promotes good health, and most importantly, supports underprivileged children.”
Among this year’s participants is Talent Chisora, a 33-year-old buyer from Downtown Trading and Logistics in Chinhoyi, who will be taking part in the three-day charity cycling event for the first time.
Chisora, a father of three, says cycling has become an integral part of his life — helping him stay fit, relieve stress, and connect with people from different backgrounds.
“Cycling is my passion and my hope,” he said. “It has helped me build great networks with people from various places, and my family always supports me — they’re my biggest cheerleaders.”
Though new to the Nedbank Tour, Chisora has competed in several major cycling challenges, including the Zambezi Cycle Challenge, Matopo Heritage Cycling Challenge, Wine to Wells in South Africa, Back to Bushes, and One Zambia.
He said participating in the Nedbank Tour is a personal honour because the event’s mission goes beyond sport — it is about uplifting communities and supporting vulnerable children through the Gifted Hands Foundation.
“I chose to participate because this event changes lives,” he said. “It’s more than just cycling; it’s a movement for health, unity, and compassion.”
The Nedbank Tour de Great Dyke, now a major fixture on Zimbabwe’s sporting calendar, brings together cyclists, corporates, and community members to raise funds for charity while promoting wellness and teamwork.
Chisora said he looks forward to not only completing the ride but also contributing to a cause that reflects his values. “Being part of this initiative is an honour, and I’m excited to take part,” he added.
The 2025 edition of the Tour is expected to draw cyclists from across the country and beyond, reaffirming its role as one of Zimbabwe’s most meaningful charity sporting events.
