The activation will feature Certified instructors engaging a community of healthy-inspired participants working out with instructors in the Thohoyandou National Botanical Garden to challenge head-on the norm of sedentary lifestyles, hence the apt reference to this boot camp being known as Ayihlome Ihlasele Bootcamp.
The government, through the Department of Sport and Culture, calls on all South African citizens in all walks of life totally their families, neighbours and the rest of the communities, to participate virtually in this activation wherever they are by logging on to social media platforms of @IChoose2BActive and @SportArtsCultureRSA.
