487 lives changed thanks to Qhubeka celebrity bike auction

Loading player...
JOHANNESBURG — For several years now, technology company Dimension Data has been linked to a charity organisation called Qhubeka. What's incredible about Qhubeka is that it does something that, from the outside, looks very simple: delivering bicycles to children and communities who need them most. What amazed me about this story is the massive difference these bicycles make to these people's lives. Amid a lack of transport, many people and children in far-flung areas of South Africa spend hours walking to get to schools and clinics. Having a bicycle can cut down this travel time by up to 75%, making a huge difference in people's lives. In this interview, Dimension Data's Albi van Zyl explains the importance of its partnership with Qhubeka, especially in light of a recent auction. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
