NMC Civils team on the SKA project

The Nelson Mandela Train Race, a fun
relay race in aid of a local non profit
organisation Love Story, took place
between Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage
train stations.
Each relay team consisted of
6 members either running or cycling a
leg of the race, whilst the train
chugged alongside (ahead?) of them.
Spectators could hitch a ride on the
train in lieu of racing the train. The
event was a great team building
initiative with a festive atmosphere of
camaraderie and healthy fun.
