HEIN WAGNER



It has been said that people born blind grow and mature with an intellect absolutely void of the  pre-conceptions or judgments of those with sight.  Their minds become formidable think tanks… platforms from which they develop razor sharp insights into life’s everyday problems & challenges.


Hein Wagner is such a man -  a man who lists more personal achievements than many!

During August 2006 he took part in the Standard Chartered Bank Ironman event in Korea, completing 180km on a tandem bicycle, under extreme conditions.

During 2004 he bungi-jumped from the second highest bridge in the world.

He tackled the white waters of the Zambezi River in a rubber raft during 1997. 

He completed the Cape to Rio Yacht Race during 1993.

He has run several Marathons from 1988 to date.

He has climbed the 10 highest mountains in the Western Cape. 

He achieved Western Province colors for athletics (1989 & 1990).
