Zisto chats to Shahieda Thungo, a seasoned Comrades Marathon bus driver who’s preparing to lead the iconic 12-hour bus for the 8th time. Her role? Get runners across the finish line before the cut-off and keep their spirits high through every hill and hurdle.
In the world of South African road running, a ‘bus driver’ is more than just a pacer they’re a lifeline, a motivator, and a Makhi: a neighbour and builder of hope.
But Shahieda’s own story is just as powerful as the race she guides others through. From personal loss to a cancer diagnosis, she’s turned her pain into purpose, becoming a beacon of strength and solidarity on the ultimate human race.
