Cyclists who undertook 1800 kilometres from South Africa through Botswana arrived in Windhoek today in a celebratory mood.

The cyclists' destination will be the coastal town of Walvis Bay, where they will join the 20th celebration of the Trans Kalahari Corridor (TKC) on Monday. 

The Trans Kalahari Corridor Cycling Challenge is one of the activities that were identified to commemorate 20 years since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, which established the TKC management committee as a corridor management institute. 

A group of cyclists from Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa have undertaken a 1,800-kilometre ride to raise awareness about the significance of the Trans-Kalahari Corridor (TKC). 

The cycling initiative is a first step towards the elimination of tariff barriers erected at borders and within countries. 

The team embarked on this journey from Rustenburg in South Africa to Walvis Bay in the Erongo Region.
