13 July 2011 - Blantyre to Lilongwe

Howzit

Jiten's last blog would've finished off with our arrival in Blantyre, or rather Limbe. The town where we spent several days of rest. Much needed, especially in my case where the previous rest day would've been in Vilanculos almost two weeks before. Our stay in Limbe was just what was needed and staying with family friends of Imraan's was a real treat. Again spoilt with meals several times a day we ate perhaps just a little too well. But we were also pr...

Ola! We've been in Mozambique for just over a week... and its been epic! The hospitality has been very much like the weather – very warm – and we're loving it!

Now about the weather...

Now I must admit that one of the major contributing factors to doing this trip, for me, was the Cape Town weather, to be more specific, winter. As much as I love the Mother City, winter sucks. So to all my friends who are now experiencing this most cherished time of the yea...

Last week I had a very cool meeting with Lenina Rassool. A free-lance journalist and lucky for us, a very nice person. She has agreed not only to help us with our newspaper and magazine articles but also with some of our marketing. We’ll have another meeting soon to discuss our integration into the print media field.

Last week I also had the chance to speak to Fanie de Villiers, the former legendary South African fast bowler. Fanie’s daughter is deaf and had a cochlear implant operation, ...

SiyaShova at the AmaShova

Posted by Ria Moothilal on Monday, October 25, 2010, In : Preparations

Being from KZN and having spent much time in both Pietermaritzburg and Durban, the AmaShova cycle race is something that I've wanted to do for a very long time. As luck would it have it, this year I happened to be in Durban the weekend of the race - this was pure chance as I working in Durban on the Monday. However, I'd only realised the race was that weekend after I had left Cape Town - so I was really unprepared - no training, cycling gear, helmet... oh and no bicycle!!!!!

5 days to go...

Hello everyone

Welcome to our site. We'll be using this blog to keep you updated on our preperations and come next year March, we'll be using it to update you on our travels!

So we've finally decided on a site name "SiyaShova.com" - comes from the Zulu language. We wanted something from a local South African language. Zulu is the big language in KwaZulu-Natal, the province from which both Imraan and I come from. We like it. After all this is about a trip across Africa, undertaken by South Afri...
