Brent Lindeque catches up with the first African female to finish the Dakar Rally on a bike
Updated | By Good Things Guy
Kirsten Landman is one of Africa’s top enduro riders and the first African female bike-riding finisher of the Dakar Rally.
Kirsten Landman officially finished the 2020 Dakar in 55th position, while Taye Perry completed the gruelling race in 77th position. But both of these talented South Africans have been named as the first women from Africa to ever race and finish the Dakar on motorcycles!
The 42nd edition of the Dakar took competitors over 7,800km from the shores of the Red Sea in Jeddah, around the canyons and mountains of the western part of the country, over the dunes of the Empty Quarter and all the way to the Qiddiya Sports and Culture Complex near the capital Riyadh.

Southern Africa had ten competitors who crossed our borders and made their way to the 2020 Dakar in Saudi Arabia, but it was two South African women who've made our country so incredibly proud.
Kirsten joined the Good Things Guy, Brent Lindeque, to chat about the gruelling race. Listen to the podcast below.
