The epic journey is marked out on the map in the pictures. \u2013 Photos: Courtesy of the Gondwana Collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Steve pedalled off on the epic 4 000-kilometre journey along the length and breadth of Namibia to promote new technology in the form of a bicycle that is both human and battery powered and at the same time to focus the attention people on increased environmental awareness.<br \/>\nHis two-month long road trip will traverse the country from the south to the north and will incorporate Namibia\u2019s perennial rivers.<br \/>\nSteve is a well-known figure from the Namibian banking and mining sectors, and more recently also the tourism sector, where he currently also serves as the chairperson of the Gondwana Collection Namibia.<br \/>\nWith his proudly Namibian-assembled SunCycles e-bike, Steve\u2019s road trip got underway at the Orange River and will proceed upcountry to the northern reaches of Namibia, from where he will traverse the area bordering the Kunene River and end in the far north-eastern corner on the Zambezi River.<br \/>\nThe \u20187-Rivers Journey of Discovery\u2019 is a trip that was born from the idea to cycle the length of Namibia from north to south ten years ago with a conservation incentive. This idea has grown and transformed over the years, as Steve stretched his limits and extended his reach. He shares the vast knowledge and expertise garnered during his lifetime on the boards and committees of several prominent Namibian organisations including MTC, the Gondwana Collection, Public Private Partnership, Chamber of Environment, Institute of Corporate Governance and the Community Conservation Fund of Namibia, a recently established fund to coordinate support for Namibia\u2019s 83 conservancies.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60218951_2240966885970259_3654012636175007744_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-266302\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60218951_2240966885970259_3654012636175007744_n-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60218951_2240966885970259_3654012636175007744_n-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60218951_2240966885970259_3654012636175007744_n-768x911.jpg 768w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60218951_2240966885970259_3654012636175007744_n.jpg 809w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" \/><\/a>Another important part of the journey is to celebrate Namibia\u2019s role as a custodian of the environment, as enshrined in its constitution. A total of 47% of the country is now under protection, either as a national park, private conservation area or conservancy. The area he once wished to travel through is now the Dorob National Park, one of the largest parks in the world, consolidating all the other parks on Namibia\u2019s western front from the Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park to the Iona National Park in Angola.<br \/>\nSteve says that even though Namibia is a dry country, the rivers \u2013 incorporating the seven perennial rivers (including the Cuvelai Drainage System) and the ephemeral rivers \u2013 are the lifeblood of many people who live along them, and are important for tourism and wildlife, including the shared cross-border ecosystem. He hopes to initiate dialogue with the communities along these river courses to identify suitable localities and assess where corporate Namibia can improve sustainability in these areas.<br \/>\nA focus of the trip is e-powering &#8211; or e-enablement &#8211; as Steve\u2019s bike illustrates, to show what e-mobility can do and to encourage a bike culture in Namibia. He will be highlighting the importance of both e-mobility and e-connectivity to ultimately empower rural communities. These will grow BENN Namibia\u2019s (Bicycling Empowerment Network Namibia) concept that \u201cbikes can change people\u2019s lives\u201d. The aim is to include e-bikes as they become more affordable \u2013 converted into all-purpose bikes to be used as load-carriers, taxis, ambulances and game guard vehicles.<br \/>\nFurthermore, the 35 shipping containers countrywide where donated bicycles and refurbishment training are provided for communities will gradually be transformed into e-boxes or e-hubs, tailored to the needs of the communities. The e-boxes were initially known as Bicycle Empowerment Centres, developed by BENN in cooperation with Bicycles for Humanity, but the name has changed as the centres encompass more services. Some of these containers have already expanded into Enterprise Boxes or e-boxes, and others are being used as centres for kindergartens and after-school support.<br \/>\nWith MTC\u2019s \u2018081 for everyone\u2019, an endeavour to provide connectivity to every group of Namibians, e-learning will become a reality and the e-boxes can become e-hubs or even e-schooling centres. As shown with successful Wi-free projects in Zambia, educational content can be downloaded by teachers onto tablets for after-school education supplementation. Self-learning modules, as seen in centres like PAY (Physically Active Youths, have the potential to catapult learners into the professional arena, and can be incorporated into these hubs, making content and digital skills widely available to everyone.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60343930_2240964722637142_2047099859881689088_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-266304\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60343930_2240964722637142_2047099859881689088_n-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60343930_2240964722637142_2047099859881689088_n-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60343930_2240964722637142_2047099859881689088_n-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60343930_2240964722637142_2047099859881689088_n-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60343930_2240964722637142_2047099859881689088_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Sponsors of the two-month long bike trip already include the Community Conservation Fund, RMB, FirstRand Namibia, Pupkewitz, Wilderness Safaris and B2Gold.<br \/>\nDuring his bike trip, Steve will be hosted by the Gondwana Collection at their lodges along the route, and Gondwana will be providing updates and covering the full story of his journey.
