King Nipho received a hero’s welcome from members of the Association for the Physically Disabled, SPAR Eastern Cape and SUPERSPAR Mount Pleasant on Friday.
A Krugersdorp amputee who has already walked more than 2,000km across South Africa on a single leg is winning hearts across the country as he champions disability inclusion, unity and Ubuntu.
King Nipho, 37, reached a major milestone in his ambitious 5,000km #OneLegWalk campaign when he arrived in Gqeberha on Friday. The journey, which began in Pretoria on May 27, has already taken him through Cape Town and is now heading towards its final destination in Durban.
Nipho says the walk is aimed at encouraging greater support for people living with disabilities while also promoting social cohesion in communities.
“My main mandate is to do something to include people living with disabilities, but there has also been disorder in our communities,” he said.
