Isaac Makwala has been invited to compete at the maiden, Athletix Grand Prix Series scheduled for Johannesburg on March 1, 2018.

The 400m sensation will use the series to kickstart his 2018 season.  He last competed in the Diamond League last September, where he emerged triumphant. The Grand Prix series, organised by Athletics South Africa (ASA), would feature three meetings in March, a month before the Commonwealth Games.
