Sandton SPCA Expands Rescue Fleet With New Vehicle Donation
Story 1
The Sandton SPCA has strengthened its rescue operations after a generous family donated a new Isuzu vehicle to support animal welfare services in the area.
The addition means inspectors will now be better equipped to respond to cruelty cases, rescue injured animals and attend community call-outs more efficiently. Most of the organisation’s work relies on rapid response across Sandton and surrounding areas.
The vehicle was donated through the Roy McAlpine Charitable Foundation, following earlier contributions that helped add more rescue vehicles to the SPCA’s fleet.
The organisation says the support will significantly improve its ability to reach animals in need and continue its work in the community.

Prince Kaybee to tackle 600km cycling challenge from Joburg to Durban
Story 2
The HiPace Cycle Challenge will see Prince Kaybee ride from Johannesburg to Durban between 13 and 15 June 2026, passing through the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal.
He will cover about 200 kilometres a day on the route, which includes Bethlehem, the Drakensberg, Pietermaritzburg and the Amashova cycle route into Durban.
The challenge forms part of his ongoing fitness journey following a serious motorcycle accident two years ago that required multiple surgeries. Cycling later became part of his recovery and has since grown into a major personal goal.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to charity.
