Cape of Good Hope SPCA benefits from Wines2Whales 2026

Two mountain bikers are preparing to put their endurance to the test for a cause that extends beyond the finish line, with the Cape of Good Hope SPCA set to benefit from their participation in the 2026 FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage race.

Aldert du Toit and Andreas de Lange will take part in the three-day mountain biking event from 9 to 11 November, representing the SPCA through its Ride2Rescue campaign.

Their participation aims to raise awareness and financial support for the organisation’s Inspectorate, whose work involves responding to cases of animal cruelty, neglect and suffering.

Taking the Ride2Rescue message to the trails

While the race will challenge riders across three days of mountain biking, the bigger purpose behind the initiative is to highlight the realities faced by animal welfare inspectors.

SPCA inspectors regularly deal with difficult circumstances while working to protect animals from mistreatment. Their responsibilities can involve confronting heartbreaking cases and challenging conditions, making their work an important part of the organisation’s animal protection efforts.

Through Ride2Rescue, Du Toit and De Lange are using their participation to bring greater attention to these efforts and encourage members of the public to contribute.

The campaign also gives supporters an opportunity to get involved financially, with donations helping the Inspectorate continue its work.

SPCA named an official charity beneficiary

The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has also been selected as an official charity beneficiary of FNB Wines2Whales 2026.

The recognition provides an opportunity to bring animal welfare into the spotlight at an event that brings mountain biking and charitable fundraising together.

The organisation has expressed its appreciation to the race organisers for including animal welfare among the causes supported through the event.

It has also thanked the two riders for committing their time and energy to the campaign.

How to support the campaign

Members of the public who would like to contribute to the Ride2Rescue initiative can make a donation through the campaign’s fundraising page.

Every contribution will support the Cape of Good Hope SPCA’s efforts to protect animals and assist its inspectors in carrying out their work.

As Du Toit and De Lange take on the three-day challenge, their participation carries a message that extends beyond cycling: supporting animal welfare also means standing behind the people who work to protect vulnerable animals.
