"I'm extremely excited to be taking on the challenge of one of the most iconic cycling events - the Absa Cape Epic. Having ridden at some of the world's biggest races including the Tour de France and Olympic Games, to now have the opportunity to experience the Absa Cape Epic as a part of team Absa is a real privilege. This opportunity will enable me to continue to grow as a rider and that is a vital step in my journey and that of Team Qhubeka as we aim to once again compete on the highest level, and return to the Tour de France one day," Dlamini said.

My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
