Exigent Investments, in partnership with Fitness Quest, will host a 10km walk  Saturday.

The company’s managing director and fitness instructor, Thato Mahube, said the event themed: #breakthebias, was billed for Mogonye Gorge from 6am.

“The walk will start from the gorge entrance to its peak and back. This is also our way of promoting domestic tourism. Mogonye Gorge is a beautiful place. It is just a stone throw away from Gaborone. Anyone can drive there for a relaxed outing with family, friends, and colleagues,” she said.

She said the event would not only be about exercising, but also about empowerment and breaking gender bias.

Mahube further explained that the event would have different experts such as dieticians, physiotherapists, mindfulness coaches, lifestyle coaches and trainers.

“Upon completion of the walk, we will go to a shop less than a kilometre from the gorge where we will have a fun aerobic workout and stretch, we will also have refreshments and conversations on issues that affect us as human beings,” she said.

Having noted the rise in mental illness, which results in depression, anxiety and suicide, the behavioral change specialist, Maipelo Rakwadi-Madibela would also be available to sensitise attendants on this condition. ENDS
