What is the #BoltGwijoChallenge?
Gwijo is more than just a chant – it’s a cultural movement that brings communities together through rhythm, energy, and spirit. The #BoltGwijoChallenge is a celebration of this uniquely South African tradition, where teams come together to create and perform their own original Gwijo—with a Bolt-inspired twist!
