Curro Brackenfell learners hosted a special send-off for the group’s two sponsored Absa Cape Epic riders, Phillimon Sebona and Jan Montshioa on Thursday, 14 October. Absa Cape Epic is undoubtedly one of the country’s top mountain biking events with this year’s six-day challenge happening from 17-24 October. Earlier this month, Curro announced that it is joining this year’s action by sponsoring these two riders who will be riding in the “African Special Category”.
Over and above the sponsorship, the independent school group also announced that it will be funding two full scholarships for the children of the winners of the Exxaro category for previously disadvantaged South Africans, under the age of 26.

During the send-off ceremony, Curro Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer, Andries Greyling addressed the learners and special guests and handed over the riders’ brand new race kit. As part of the celebrations to wish Phillimon and Jan all the best for the challenge ahead, Curro Brackenfell learners formed a tunnel for the two riders to cycle through, showing that the school and the entire Curro community are fully behind these enormously talented riders.
The event was also attended by several guests from Absa, Cape Epic, Curro, and Cycle to Ride (C2R), a cycling initiative powered by Curro.
