Meet Katlego: Founder and Inspirational Baleka Nathi Guide

Hello, I’m Katlego, the founder of Baleka Nathi. Born and raised in Johannesburg, I’ve always had a deep love for this vibrant city. The idea for Baleka Nathi came to me while I was training for my first marathon and working in the hospitality industry. I met many foreigners who, like me, loved running but were hesitant to explore Joburg on foot. I started accompanying them, showcasing the city’s beauty and energy.

Running is central to my physical and mental well-being. While training for the Comrades Marathon, I discovered many young people who shared my passion for our city and the restorative power of movement. This collective enthusiasm inspired me to create Baleka Nathi, with a vision to expand beyond Johannesburg and become a continental experience, celebrating the phenomenal cities across Africa.

As a guide, I strive to provide engaging and supportive runs tailored to each group’s pace and interests. Whether you’re looking to hit a new personal best, explore Johannesburg’s iconic landmarks, or simply enjoy a scenic jog, I’m here to make your experience memorable and inspiring.

Join me for an unforgettable run through Johannesburg, and soon, other incredible African cities. Let’s lace up together and discover the continent’s hidden gems, embracing the spirit of endurance and community that defines Baleka Nathi.
