Pump for Peace Racing Team's Unathi Nxumalo and Tumelo Makae are preparing for their second participation in the renowned African Mountain Bike Race, the Absa Cape Epic. In 2023, the duo demonstrated that their resilience, gained through a traumatic childhood, and their robustness, developed from growing up in poverty and being exposed to the relentless rural Natal and wild Lesotho mountains, has prepared them well for the most grueling mountain bike stage race in the world. They emerged as the best-placed black African team at last year's race. Now, they are eager to tackle the 2024 Cape Epic.
