MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Despite swirling rumours that this year’s Buffalo Rally might be the last, Luderick Jacoby (74), chairperson of the Nomads Motorcycle Club, has firmly denied any plans to end the iconic event.

Speaking after the 45th Buffalo Rally, which was hosted for the 17th time in Mossel Bay this past weekend, Jacoby reassured bikers and fans alike that the rally is here to stay.

Jacoby, who has been at the helm of organising the rally for the past 30 years, acknowledged, however, that the time may be coming for him to pass the baton. “I’m getting old,” he said.

 “We need someone to take over and keep the spirit of the rally alive.”
