Ride For Sight Moves To Carnival City In Boksburg
Story 1
The Dis-Chem Ride for Sight cycling event will move to Carnival City in Boksburg for its 38th edition on 21 February 2027, after decades at Boksburg City Stadium.
Organisers say the race has outgrown the stadium’s available space, with more than 4,000 cyclists participating this year. Carnival City offers more room for riders, supporters and event facilities.
The race features 121 kilometre, 50 kilometre and 12 kilometre routes, including para-cycling categories, with proceeds supporting Retina South Africa. The event is also expected to create opportunities for local businesses and tourism through visitors using accommodation, restaurants and other services in the East Rand.

Phoenix Alexandra Makes Learning Fun Beyond The Classroom
Story 3
Phoenix Alexandra, a non-profit organisation in Alexandra that supports children's education, took learners to Linbro Park for a day of reading, spelling, poetry, dancing and horse-riding.
Founder Nkateko Mabasa said children learn better when lessons include fun and new experiences. Inspired by how educational camps helped her as a child, she wanted to give learners the same opportunity to explore and understand concepts outside the classroom.
The children also helped one another with reading and spelling, creating a supportive environment where they could learn without fear of making mistakes.
