 Man Walking Across Africa Robbed 12 Miles Into His Journey | | By: DirkSteele | Published: 09/08/1999 | | |  |

Cape Town, South Africa (Reuters): A South African man on a marathon trek to raise
awareness of the crime wave sweeping the country was more
successful than he bargained for as he was held up at gunpoint
just 20 kilometers (12 miles) into his 4,000 kilometer walk.
Roger Russell, who set out Monday on a six-month walk from
Cape Town to Johannesburg and back to highlight the tough task
facing the police, told Cape Talk radio Wednesday he was mugged
and robbed Tuesday near the airport.
Russell said the robbers, eventually scared off by a car
load of plain clothes police that pulled up nearby, escaped
with all his belongings except the clothes he was wearing.
He said he intended to set out again Monday and in the
meantime was appealing for donations to replace his lost gear.
