Press Release: Meals on Wheels Northern Cape launches the Extreme Cycle for Hunger Tour 2026
Riding to Feed Hope Across South Africa
Northern Cape, South Africa — 25 November 2025 — Meals on Wheels Northern Cape has officially launched the Extreme Cycle for Hunger 2026, a bold and inspiring journey to fight hunger across South Africa — one kilometre at a time.
This multi-day cycling event will see dedicated riders take on the challenging route from Johannesburg to Cape Town, testing endurance while transforming lives along the way. Every kilometre cycled helps fund nutritious meals for those in need, particularly in the drought-stricken and impoverished communities of the Northern Cape.
“Making a difference in someone’s life can mean so much — and it can be done on any day, not just important days,”
said Gershon Naidoo, Acting Area Director for Meals on Wheels Northern Cape.
“This ride reminds us that small acts of kindness, when multiplied, can change entire communities.”
The Extreme Cycle for Hunger 2026 will take place from 25 February to 6 March 2026, uniting cyclists, sponsors, and volunteers from across the nation. Riders can participate as individuals or in teams, with opportunities to fundraise or donate directly to Meals on Wheels’ feeding programs that provide thousands of daily meals to those in need.
Meals on Wheels Northern Cape is proud to announce JAC Motors as the official vehicle sponsor for the 2026 tour - their 3rdconsecutive year of support, ensuring smooth and safe event coordination across multiple provinces.
“We at JAC Motors are honoured to partner with Meals on Wheels in this remarkable initiative,”
said Karl-Heinz Göbel, CEO of JAC Motors South Africa.
“As a brand committed to South Africa for over eight years, we are proud to support a cause that inspires hope, unity, and positive change across our country.”
