🌍 Sasol Solar Challenge 2024: More Than Just the Numbers 🌞 As I reflect on this year’s Sasol Solar Challenge, it’s clear that this event is not just about solar-powered cars driving across South Africa — it's about people, progress, and purpose. Yes, the numbers are impressive: 14 teams from around the globe 🌐 450 individuals representing 24 different countries 🌍 19,833.4 km covered by cars powered by the sun, (half the circumference of the Earth!) 🛣️ 500 million digital platform views 👀 Over 5,000 school kids inspired directly 🎓 52,015 km travelled by our dedicated Bridgestone EMEA Think Bike Marshals 🚴♂️ 10,000 + images captured and 150+ hours of video content 🎥 1,032 articles published to a global audience 🌍 100 million Rand economic impact 💰 But the real story is the lasting legacy we’re building. It’s the thousands of young students who saw the future of clean energy up close. It’s the local communities we engaged, the volunteers who flew from all corners of the world, and the teams who pushed the boundaries of what’s possible with solar technology. Each kilometre covered, each child inspired, and every person involved represents a commitment to a brighter, more sustainable future for all. 🚀 I’m incredibly proud to have been part of this journey as the Director of the Sasol Solar Challenge, and it’s humbling to see how much we’ve achieved together. To every volunteer, every participant, and every community member – thank you for making this so much more than just an event. You’ve made it a movement. Let’s keep driving innovation and pushing the limits of what’s possible with renewable energy. 🌞🌍 #SasolSolarChallenge #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #SolarPower #CommunityImpact #Leadership #FutureOfEnergy
