Robotics industry takes on cycling challenge The Robotics Division of YASKAWA Southern Africa (YSA) is taking on the Berg & Bush Cycling Challenge from 9 to 11 October 2018 and is inviting partners and customers to join them or sponsor some team members from the robotics and automation industry. This three-day cycling adventure takes mountain bikers from the top of the Drakensberg escarpment near Harrismith and drops down into KwaZulu-Natal, negotiating a world-famous single track through the bushveld below and into Winterton. Through this race and with the help of generous sponsorships, funds will be raised and donated to the Kitty and Puppy Haven, as well as Get up Woman, a private Facebook group started to assist less privileged ladies with basic needs and support.
