Throttle Sisters bring sisterhood to Namibia’s roads

Ask any biker why they take on miles of open road on two wheels, and the answer will most likely be universal: a love for the open road and camaraderie.

That spirit was evident when about 24 women bikers from South Africa, Eswatini and Zambia, known as the Throttle Sisters, travelled to Namibia to explore the country on their motorcycles.

After arriving from Rehoboth under the escort of local riders, the group left Windhoek on Sunday, heading for Swakopmund.

Throttle Sisters spokesperson Tshireletso “Tsotso” Jezile, who was visiting Namibia for the first time, says the experience of meeting warm-hearted people and travelling on open roads would stay with the group for years to come.

“We were brought together by a group of lady riders and the dream was to travel Africa on our motorcycles,” Jezile tells Top Revs.
