The statement says, “It is with great regret, and concern, that we, the Exco of the HRCT, make this announcement. This decision was taken after 20 months of planning and negotiation with various stakeholders to bring the first event of its kind to the African continent.”
It adds that the race was envisaged as a tribute to the countless South Africans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the struggle for freedom from apartheid oppression and other human rights abuses.
