Intrepid explorer Kingsley Holgate hit the road again to complete what he and his Mzansi Edge Expedition team began on September 18 near Kosi Bay in northern KwaZulu-Natal.

Durban -

On Friday the team regrouped at the Durban Harbour at the National Sea Rescue Institute, near Point, where they filled their traditional calabash, an isizulu artefact they carried with them every step of the journey. They conquered extreme mountain passes, including the Road To Hell in the Northern Cape and country’s five highest passes.

Holgate’s son, Ross, said that although Covid-19 had devastated the country it had allowed them to provide relief and support to those suffering in some of the less travelled areas of the country. Ross said that the significance of meeting at the NSRI base was that in 1992 they had their first expedition which was from South Africa to Cairo and the NSRI gave them their launch.

“We have the same values and core beliefs. We speak with one voice on conservation and saving lives.”
