The route will commemorate Luthuli’s final walk to the railway bridge where he was allegedly hit by a train and died, also touching on key attractions in South African history such as Shaka’s Rock. Additionally, the route aims to promote tourism in Groutville and greater KwaDukuza area, which in turn aids in SMME development speaking to Luthuli’s legacy of a prosperous society.
Having suffered from high blood pressure and having had a slight stroke, Luthuli became an advocate for healthy living as he walked around his community to wean himself off his medication. As a result, the Luthuli Legacy Walk and Fun Run aims to advocate the same message.
