Going Home to Africa
My 20 000km journey home through West Africa
It was an early morning start to get to the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation studio for a brief interview with Merelin Ngwenya the host for Good Morning Zimbabwe coming out of Bulawayo.
Regret the video was taken with a direction switch.
How does one describe Dot Bekker, other than eccentric? She always has trouble describing herself as she says "I do many things, only some of them well, I keep learning new and exiting things that I want to try'.
For starters she is an intrepid and adventurous traveller, Business Coach and Entrepreneur Strategist, she creates websites and consults on social media, she is a speaker and presenter and has been interviewed by people worldwide, she is also an author and philanthropist having a small non-profit for the education of high achieving girls into high school (www.kusasa.africa).

Dot is Zimbabwean born and raised and after having lived in Europe for 20 years she decided to return home but uniquely she decided to drive through Africa to get there.
She achieved her dream by driving 20,000kms through 18 West African countries over 8.5 months on her own for most of the journey. Her book of the same title will soon be launched,and you can find out more about Dot or subscribe to the Blog for more.
Alongside my journey I've decided to raise funds for scholarships for girl's education in Zimbabwe, find out more about that here, to contribute to the Scholarship Fund please do so here.
