The hype is real as American skateboarder Jason Vanporppal is expected to roll into the Mother City after his inspiring African odyssey.
Over 100 days ago, the skateboarder from Paramount, California, set out on a mission to travel from Kampala, Uganda, to Cape Town to raise funds to build the “biggest skatepark in Uganda”.
His great trek began in February and has taken him through Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
During his travels through Mzansi, Vanporppal has passed through several towns and cities including Johannesburg, Kroonstad, Bloemfontein, Beaufort West, Richmond and Laingsburg.
