Siya Continues To Run For CHPA
Siya Continues To Run For CHPA
Siya Runs Again – For the horses he makes comfortable in their work
Can you believe it? Siyabonga Mfanta is back on the road and he’s going further than ever before! In 2025/2026 Siya is once again lacing up his running shoes to take on not one, not two, but three of South Africa’s most iconic races, the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, the Two Oceans Marathon, and the mighty Comrades Marathon, again, all in support of the Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA).
Why does he do it? Because Siya believes every horse matters and we therefore need funds to make sure each one does!
Day after day, rain or shine, working cart horses in Cape Town pull carts to help their owners earn a living. They don’t get to stop when they’re tired. They don’t get to rest when they’re sore. But thanks to CHPA, the hard working cart horses will receive the care, respect, and protection they so desperately need.
Siya has witnessed firsthand the incredible work CHPA does, rescuing neglected horses, providing vet care, supplying feed, fitting shoes, educating owners, and standing up for the voiceless.
“This is bigger than running,” Siya says. “I run so they don’t have to suffer”.
With every step, every kilometer, and every blister, Siya is raising funds to give these horses a better life. And you can be part of his journey.
PS. Siya’s remarkable journey and story has also captured the interest of Pippa Hudson from Cape Talk Radio. Please tune in on 17 October from 13h15 – 13h30 to listen to Siya telling his story.
