Mud, sweat, and cheers filled the air at the 4×4 Club Donnybrook in Zimbabwe on the 6th of April as the Husqvarna Mudrun 2024 unfolded, in support of KidzCan Zimbabwe’s fight against childhood cancer. Among the participants, getting his hands dirty in his home country, was Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira, rugby icon and Husqvarna ambassador.
Always up to making a difference and giving back to communities, Beast generously shared his expertise by giving the u/20 Zimbabwe rugby team some tips in the art of scrummaging before ‘attacking’ the mud to raise funds for this vital cause. And he wasn’t the only one. According to Timothy Isabirye, Marketing Manager of Husqvarna South Africa, a whopping $61,106 (over R1,1million) was raised for KidzCan Zimbabwe, surpassing last year’s fundraising efforts of $55,000 (Just over R1 million).
“The Husqvarna Mudrun 2024 was more than just a race, it was a celebration of community spirit and collective impact,” Isabirye says. “It is incredible what we can achieve when we unite for a common goal.”
Beast, who was met with cheers and high-fives from fans, humbly expressed his gratitude to Husqvarna South Africa for making the event possible, saying, “Being part of the Husqvarna Mudrun 2024 and supporting KidzCan Zimbabwe has been an amazing experience. Thanks to Husqvarna South Africa for making this possible.”
“Raising funds in support of these little ones who have to deal with a life-threatening disease, is an honour,” Isabirye adds. “This amazing organisation, whose mission it is to increase the survival rate and ensure the utmost quality of life for children with cancer in a caring environment, delivers an invaluable community service.” He concludes, “Husqvarna South Africa is privileged to be able to contribute to the cause in a fun and unique way like the Mudrun, that appeals to and brings joy to children while making a meaningful difference.

Why is the environment important to human kind? The environment is important to human kind because it provides us with the basic necessities of life such as air, water, food and shelter. It also has a direct impact on our physical and mental well-being, as it provides places for recreation and relaxation, and can help to reduce stress. Furthermore, the environment contributes to the overall quality of life, as it helps to regulate the climate, and can affect the health of our economy and communities. Finally, the environment is essential for sustaining the biodiversity of our planet, which is essential for the survival of many species, including humans.
Three examples of how the environment affects human activities?
- Climate Change: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and overfishing are all contributing to global climate change. Climate change has been linked to a range of impacts, from more extreme weather patterns to sea level rise and disruption of food production.
- Air Pollution: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial processes are a major source of air pollution. This air pollution can cause respiratory problems, acid rain, and crop damage.
- Water Pollution: Human activities such as dumping waste into bodies of water, agricultural runoff, and oil spills can lead to water pollution. This pollution can cause algal blooms, contamination of drinking water, and destruction of aquatic ecosystems.
