Ska Fela Moya: From Addiction To The Comrades Start Line

Loading player...
The 2026 Comrades Marathon theme is Ska Fela Moya "Never Give Up."

Few stories capture that spirit better than the journey of Erwin Arends.

Danny Guselli sat down with Erwin and his wife, Mpume Dlamini-Arends, for an honest conversation about family, marriage, addiction, recovery, and second chances.

Erwin shares how his life changed after battling alcoholism and going through rehabilitation, and how he eventually found purpose, discipline, and healing through road running. Alongside him is Mpume, who reflects on the challenges, hope, and resilience that carried their family through some of their toughest moments.

This is more than a Comrades story. It's a story about never giving up on yourself, the people you love, and the possibility of a different future.

A powerful listen for runners, supporters, families, and anyone facing their own uphill journey.
