Time to invest in our athletes

Makwala holds the Africa record for the 400m sprint, while Nijel Amos had been, until last weekend, shining in the 800m.

Amos has the third best time in the world, is a Commonwealth champion, Olympics silver medallist and holds the junior world record. In the past two months, the young athletes known as DJ Zoro in the music circles, was a thorn in the flesh for the Kenyan Olympics and World Champion, David Rudisha, winning all but one Diamond League games.
