It was with great anticipation and enthusiasm that we headed into Soweto for our first day of the Peace Run in South Africa. On our agenda was a run through this historic satellite-city of Johannesburg, as well as visits to five primary schools.

Nka-Thuto Primary School

First stop was Nka-Thuto Primary School where we were warmly welcomed by the Principal, Mr Arryabo. Joining our small core team on this day was our good friend Chane Cloete from Johannesburg, as well as a local Soweto running club that had enthusiastically accepted our invitation to be part of the Soweto Peace Run. Sadly, due to car trouble, the running club was unable to join us, so it was all hands on deck for our small team as we rediscovered the delights of this bustling city and its vibrant schools.
