He did it! 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook finishes gruelling challenge to run length of Africa
news.sky.com/story/he-did-it-hardest-geezer-russ-cook-finishes-gruelling-challenge-to-run-length-of-africa-13109978
Quick Glance: He Succeeded! 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook Completes Grueling Challenge of Running Length of Africa
- British Russ Cook, self-proclaimed 'Hardest Geezer,' has completed a nearly year-long grueling challenge of running the length of Africa. Starting from the most southern point in South Africa, Cape Agulhas, he finished at Ras Angela, Tunisia, the most northern point of the continent.
- During his journey through 16 countries, Cook faced extreme heat, physical exhaustion, and dangerous situations including armed robbery in Angola and separation from his supporters in the jungle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Utilizing social media, he secured a visa to cross the border from Mauritania into Algeria.
- Cook has raised over £600,000 for two charities and plans a celebration with a performance by the band Soft Play to mark his accomplishments. The funds collected will benefit The Running Charity and Sandblast. Despite Africa being his most significant challenge, it wasn't his first, having previously run from Asia to England.
- The 27-year-old invited his supporters to run the final marathon with him and arranged a finish line party featuring a live performance by Soft Play in Tunisia. Through this challenge, known as Project Africa, Cook not only pushed physical boundaries but also raised substantial funds for charitable causes supporting the mental health of young individuals and educating about Sahrawi culture.

- Former National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was released on bail of R50,000 after she appeared before the Pretoria magistrate's court for corruption allegations.
- The judge, Anna Oosthuizen, expressed her satisfaction with Mapisa-Nqakula's eligibility for bail and her successful argument that she could only manage R50,000, despite the state's request for R100,000.
- Following an unsuccessful court attempt to prevent her imminent arrest, Mapisa-Nqakula voluntarily presented herself at the Lyttelton police station on Thursday morning.
- Among her bail conditions are the surrender of her passport, refraining from applying for a new one, and prohibition from direct or indirect communication with state witnesses.

Quick Glance: Passengers Stranded: Drama Unfolds After Cruise Leaves Without Them
- Eight passengers were left stranded on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe after their ship departed without them as they were late to return from a private tour.
- The group of eight tourists, six from the U.S. and two from Australia, were abandoned by the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship after failing to make it back on time, leading them to make their own travel arrangements to catch up with the ship.
- Due to bad weather and tidal restrictions preventing the ship from docking in Banjul, Gambia, the guests had to travel through seven countries in 48 hours to rejoin the ship in Dakar, Senegal.
- A silver lining of the ordeal was the encounter with another stranded passenger who was left behind on the island for medical reasons and was assisted by the other tourists to safely return home.
