The AMU (African Motorcycle Union) Baja, which took place last weekend in the vicinity of Harare was overall a great success. However it has to be mentioned that only 4 countries took part and the best riders from South Africa did not participate. It is about time to investigate, why the interest of particularly South African riders is lacking, not only in Enduro but the same applies in the AMU Southern African Moto Cross Challenge.
 Jan de Haan (Namibia) While the participating countries represent their countries with pride, the absence of South Africans is felt by some as humiliation, as prejudice.
