Inspired by his love for animals, toughie Tienie Maree from Brackenfell sets off for the second consecutive year on the gruelling Munga Grit Tankwa Challenge on Wednesday 29 November, in aid of the Cape of Good Hope SPCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast year I was nervous because I didn\u2019t know what to expect, this year I am nervous because I do know what to expect,\u201d he told TygerBurger<\/em> on Tuesday prior to his departure to Bloemfontien where the race starts today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as the toughest race on earth, this ultra-marathon mountain biking event spans 1 100 km of the arid Karoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the non-stop endurance race, riders race against the clock having only 120 hours to reach the finish line in Wellington before the clock stops on 4 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it seems Tienie is prepared to do more than suffer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munga participation comes with a dire warning issued in the race preparation documents which reads, \u201cA high level of independence and self-sufficiency required. If you get bitten by a snake or have a heart attack in the middle of nowhere, there is a chance you may die. Let this sink in because when you sign up for the Grit Tankwa, you are accepting this fact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Tienie its is all about the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is physically, emotionally and spiritually hard. It is you against the race, but I am prepared to suffer a bit for the animals who will benefit from this initiative,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLife on the streets for an animal means hunger, exposure to the elements, a high risk of abuse and no help if they become sick or injured. This race won\u2019t be easy, but I\u2019m prepared to suffer so that animals don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He finished the race in 117 hours last year, raising R51 000 for the SPCA. Of the 117 hours he rested 54 hours, that for sleeping and eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy body took a helluva knock. My hands and behind was raw from the non-stop riding, but it was so worth it. It was in the end a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was not planning to repeat the race this year, but had a quick change of heart when the SPCA approached him earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to improve my time this year and will also be sharing my experience on Instagram @Makatienie,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is currently facing their toughest challenge yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the last financial year, we experienced a 27% increase in surrendered animal admissions and all indications are that this year will be worse than ever. It\u2019s really tough,\u201d says SPCA spokesperson Belinda Abraham. According to her 41% of the more than 2 500 animals coming through their doors every month were once someone\u2019s pet, but are now no longer wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe SPCA\u2019s animal care facility is being placed under severe pressure by the more than 1 000 unwanted animals being surrendered into their care every month. The SPCA never turns any animal away. We\u2019ve seen first-hand what happens to animals when shelters who are at capacity turn them away,\u201d explains Abraham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe SPCA doesn\u2019t charge people who are giving up their pets a fee to hand them in. It\u2019s one of the many services provided by the organisation to prevent animal cruelty. We can\u2019t allow animals to pay the price when pet owners are unable to make a financial contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says all incoming animals must be quarantined, health checked, behaviourally assessed, fed, vaccinated, exercised, groomed, de-fleaed, dewormed and seen by a vet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKennels must be cleaned and disinfected, litterboxes emptied, cleaned and refilled, blankets and bowls must be washed and sanitised, but most importantly, little heads must be rubbed, fears must be soothed, and little hearts must be mended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s estimated that this service will cost the organisation R4,6 million rand this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thankful to Tienie for challenging himself in a way that highlights both the crisis we currently find ourselves facing and the suffering of animals that will result if we don\u2019t meet it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTienie is taking on this incredibly tough challenge, so we can take on ours. For 120 hours, he\u2019ll be far from home and its comforts, he\u2019ll be exposed to the elements, face uncertain terrain and at times we\u2019re sure he\u2019ll feel quite alone. There is a profound connection between this and the daily plight of an animal living on the streets. We think he\u2019s a hero,\u201d says Abraham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
