FALANGA DEDICATES HIS CAPE-TOWN CYCLING JOURNEY TO HH

Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts Permanent Secretary, Kangwa Chileshe says the government will continue advocating for an all-inclusive sports sector to ensure that the media covers all sports equally.

Mr Chileshe said this in Lusaka today during a welcoming ceremony for Cyclist James Falanga, who undertook a 34-day cycling journey from Lusaka to Cape Town.

He noted that Falanga, popularly known as “One Yeye International” expedition, captured the hearts and minds of key stakeholders, regional governments and local communities.

“Let Yeye’s wheels remind you that the road belongs to everyone, whether you cycle, run, swim, or push a wheelchair, your dream is valid,” said Chileshe.

Ministry of Information and Media Permanent Secretary, Thabo Kawana who was also present at the event, encouraged the cyclist, noting that his expedition demonstrates what it means to live a purposeful life.

And Falanga said he has dedicated his 34 days of cycling journey from Lusaka to Cape Town to President Hakainde Hichilema, citing his resilience and determination before becoming Head of State.
