Khama was the first racer to take off during this year’s Khawa Sand Dune challenge, at which President Mokweetsi Masisi and the first lady Neo Masisi were there to do the usual flag off. The race soon heated up and after the first round Khama was among the leading riders in position three. However, Khama never made it to the finishing point.
