Amputee activist King Nipho reaches KwaZulu Natal during nationwide walk

Amputee activist Mqondisi "King Nipho" Ntshangase has reached the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast as part of a self-funded 5,000-kilometre journey across all nine South African provinces, the Sunday Tribune and IOL reported. He is undertaking the walk to promote disability inclusion and safer community spaces. [1][2]

Ntshangase received a warm welcome at Hibiscus Hospital on Friday, according to the Sunday Tribune. His campaign, named the One-Legged Walk, involves pushing a heavy trolley across the country while relying on a single leg. [1]

The Sunday Tribune reported that the initiative began as a solo test of endurance and has since grown into a nationwide movement for social reform. Ntshangase explained that his mission aims to challenge disability stigma and advocate for social change. [1]

The KwaZulu-Natal South Coast is a region along the southern stretch of coastline in KwaZulu-Natal, located south of Durban, Wikipedia notes. [3]
