Cape Town, South Africa (09 April 2026) – At 90 years young, Hendrina Lawrens took on the Cape Town leg of the 2026 SPAR Women’s Challenge.

She proudly wore a sash, birthday-themed t-shirts, and held a banner celebrating her milestone, while clapping and waving to the cheering crowds along the route.
