Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe is calling on people across the city to join him in a global event this weekend.
The former Whites defender is one of the best-loved players in the club's illustrious history and is a hero among fans.
And now he is hoping an army of Leeds supporters will join him on a sponsored walk to raise awareness and funds to help communities in South Africa impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
'The Chief' is taking part in a collective walk covering 2,414 miles - the full width of South Africa - as part of the global challenge and Leeds fans are being urged to join in, wherever they are in the world.
Radebe said: "The South African Chamber’s Solidarity Walk is a great way to show support for the Solidarity Fund.
"I will be walking in solidarity with the South African diaspora and friends of the nation who want to recognise the work of those helping the country overcome the pandemic."
The 51-year-old was recently appointed as the ambassador for the walk, which has been organised by the South African Chamber of Commerce.
The fundraising event will help to support the national health response, contribute to humanitarian relief efforts and help South Africa respond to the pandemic.
How to join in
People can walk as far as they want, either in groups or by themselves, before logging their progress online.
The total distance will be displayed on the South African Chamber of Commerce's website, along with a moving map to show current progress in miles.
There is a registration fee of £1.50, although participants are being encouraged to get sponsored by friends and family for their efforts too.
