A tractor load of love

Dear Daughter

About this episode

How far would you go to help your child achieve their dreams?

Corne drove the family tractor across South Africa to raise money so her daughter, Marconette, could represent her country at the World Tug of War Championships in Switzerland.

She and Marconette tell Namulanta Kombo how the extraordinary idea was born, and how the journey had the unexpected consequence of bringing communities together along the way.
