Past Events

The inaugural Atlas South Africa event in 2019 saw a 15-strong contingent cycling in the famous Cape Town Cycling Tour. Springbok Legend Percy Montgomery stepped up to lead in his place. Minister Alan Winde was a fantastic addition to the team, already a great political leader, he showed his sporting colours with a brilliant performance on the bike.
Again in 2020, Western Cape Premier Alan Winde, Springbok legends and Atlas Rugby Champions Percy Montgomery and De Wet Barry, led a Thirsti sponsored Atlas team over the challenging Cape Town Cycle Tour course on March 8th 2020. Each is a strong advocate for Atlas’s rugby based appraisals to child development, and have seen and experienced the uplift that Atlas projects provide to boys and girls at home and overseas.
