FILM
Riding a Motorcycle in South Africa Before the Lockdown. Ep 93
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This film brings the pre-Covid chapter of a round-the-world motorcycle journey to a close in South Africa. Its focus is the rider’s final days there in March 2020, shared with friends Aga and Artur.
About this film
Part of the Africa, Round The World series, this 17-minute episode belongs to a journey that began when the rider left Australia in April 2017. The trip was planned as a solo ride around the world on a BMW F800GS, without a fixed final destination or duration. Here, the South African footage marks a pause in that larger journey and the end of its pre-Covid chapter. The film’s personal frame is shaped by time spent with Aga and Artur, a Polish couple whose overland travels had taken them down the east coast of Africa. The three had become friends during their travels.
The journey
The setting is South Africa, where the rider spends her final days before the journey’s Covid-era interruption. The film is described as motorcycle riding in South Africa, while its wider context is a round-the-world trip that began in Australia and includes travel across Africa. Aga and Artur bring another overland perspective to this closing stretch: they had ridden down the continent’s east coast. Rather than presenting a new leg as a standalone expedition, the episode records a moment of companionship at the end of the trip’s pre-Covid phase. Its March 2020 recording date anchors the footage to that final period in South Africa.
