ON YOUR bicycle - it's a means of earning a living, says Crosscape Express, the Cape Town based national road freight transport company.
They recently collected 165 abandoned or disused bicycles from Plettenberg Bay and delivered them, free of charge, to Afribike, an Afrika Cultural Centre project based in Newtown, Johannesburg where the bicycles are recycled as part of the 'Motive Power South Africa' scheme.
In this way unemployed people are provided with a means of getting around and either seeking or undertaking work.
The Mondi recycling pilot project in Midrand is an Afribike-inspired job-creation venture. It provides workbikes which enable people to collect and deliver paper and cardboard to its plant easier and quicker.
