What Is The Long Ride To Freedom

The Long Ride To Freedom is a 3000km fiber optic awareness campaign where we will stop at ten locations to educate people about digital disruption and what it means for job losses to automation.

Trust will be at the heart of the message we carry. Trust in ecommerce to create jobs that will clean up our planet, trust in Blockchain technology to free ourselves of greed, and trust in our fellow human beings so that we can come together and clean up the mess of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd industrial revolutions.

Our Goals

  • Educate the nation about the future of work due to digital disruption
  • Decentralise commerce and give more people opportunities
  • Encourage Social Entrepreneurship
  • Raise funds to buy more land to build more educational facilities
  • Improve Tourism in South Africa

The Long Ride To Freedom is a dedication to the values and principles that Nelson Mandela envisioned for South Africa and the world over. The project is run by Leaderless NPC and puts into action two famous leaders' words.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" ~ John F. Kennedy.

and

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" ~ Nelson Mandela.
