The Captains

S

SIYA

Captain

Siya Njozela is the captain of ARC. He ensures that all pacers' needs are met and communicates with the community on the ground, more with the People and Culture department. He also makes sure that the community is safe, he ensures that the energy is all the way positive, especially for new runners that just set their goals to run.

Who We Are

Abstract Running Club started in February 2023 with a single runner on Johannesburg's streets, Lesiba Mashiane, moving alone until his coffee shop team gradually joined for 5km runs. Now around 50 members strong, the crew welcomes everyone from baristas to neighbours to social media followers, united by movement and good energy. Their philosophy is simple: showing up consistently for yourself is where everything begins, and community follows when one person refuses to stop moving. Every Saturday at 06:15, runners gather at South Point for the Coffee Run, while Tuesday evenings bring an easy-paced session at 17:15, creating space for all paces and all people in the heart of Johannesburg.
