The African Icons Invitational (NPC) is a charity that raises funds to benefit widows and orphans of South African police officers killed in the line of duty. We do that by hosting some of S.A.’s most epic cycling events and inviting some of S.A.’s (and the world’s) highest profile athletes to act as our ‘African Icons’, thereby attracting ordinary cyclists to open their wallets and their hearts and come and ride with our icons. 

Founded by Rory Steyn in 2018, with the aim of making a difference in South Africa. The aim of this event is to raise funds for the families of South African police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. All funds raised go to support the education of and to provide financial support for these families. African Icons Invitational supports the Widows and Orphans Fund and SAPSET
