Munga 2024

On Friday afternoon, November 29, an extraordinary moment unfolded on the steep slopes of Bo Swaarmoed, that final grueling ascent of the pass. Drikus Coetzee, the frontrunner of the epic Munga 2024, had already conquered approximately 1,000 km when the Matjiesrivier Ajax soccer team stepped in with a powerful show of support.

Wearing their rugged top boots and driven by an unrelenting spirit, the team ran alongside Drikus—a compelling display of encouragement and teamwork. Their energy pierced the silence of the mountain, their actions sending a clear and inspiring message: “Success through Effort.”

For the team, this was more than just a moment of cheering; it was a living testament to their belief in the transformative power of sport and community.
