Kgomotso Mthi is a successful tour instructor and owner of Adventures with Kgomotso, a company based in the West Rand Township of Kagiso 2. The Hike Tour was hosted at B’sorah Adventure Trails in Broederstroom on October 25, 2025.

The gateway event was designed to promote nature tourism and foster community wellness and communication. It encouraged participants to step away from the daily stresses of life – from workplace pressure and family responsibilities to social challenges such as high unemployment, substance abuse, and crime that often affect township societies. This is meant for freshness and mind relaxation and enjoying the best part of nature.

According to the founder and CEO, Mr Kgomotso Mthi, the purpose of the hike was to help participants reconnect with nature while promoting mindfulness and mental health. 

” The more we learn about our surroundings, the more likely we are to benefits from them” said, Mthi. “The more we share these spaces, the better we can preserve them.” 

The weekend’s activities included hiking, swimming, and mountain climbing – all aimed at helping participants conquer their fears, build resilience, and connect with like-minded individuals. 

The event was made possible through partnership with the Kagiso Local Tourism Association and Mogale City Local Municipality, who continue to support initiatives that encourage outdoor recreation and sustainable tourism in the region. 

One of the participants, Maphuti Kgosi Chauke, shared how meaningful the experience was: 

“Being here actually saved me a lot of money and time. At home, I’d probably be spending on unnecessary things like shopping or eating junk food. This hike gave me a break from that stressful situations, helping me to relax, and allow me to connect with others while enjoying nature”.

Beyond recreation, the hike also aimed to raise awareness about mental health will many people struggling under the weight of rising living costs of everyday stress, activities like this offer much needed relief, peace of mind, and a renewed appreciation for life and the environment.
