Fred Khumalo has finished his 10 day walk from Joburg to Ladysmith today. For more context as to why he embarked on #TheLongestMarch – please go get yourself the book which is in stores already, let’s get reading.

The book talks about an incident that took place 120 years ago, where 7000 Zulu mineworkers walked from the gold mines in Johannesburg to Natal. This journey took them 10 days, covering a distance of 500 kilometers.

Huge congratulations to Fred on finishing this 10 day walk! This is truly admirable!
