Sol Plaatje University proudly hosts the 5th Annual Vice-Chancellor’s Cycle Challenge in association with Cycling South Africa (CSA) on 8 November 2025 at the Suzuki Stadium in Kimberley.
This year’s event is a movement that mobilises the University community and the wider Northern Cape to support the Lesedi La Afrika Endowment Campaign, securing SPU’s long-term sustainability and building a legacy that will benefit generations to come. The Challenge positions the University as a catalyst for sustainable development, well-being and community impact, embodying the spirit of purpose that defines SPU, a purpose rooted in knowledge, service and humanity, and one that shines as light from Africa for humanity.
