Well done Letsile Tebogo!

Tuesday, May 03, 2022 | 160 Views |

Botswana has a shining star in Letsile Tebogo. The 18-year-old sprinter just keeps smashing records. He qualified for the world championships last weekend at the Gaborone International Meet, beating his Under-20 and national records.

Tebogo is not the first star athlete to emerge, but unfortunately, only a few go all the way and make a living out of their fast feet. As we celebrate Tebogo’s victory, let us look at the likes of Glody Dube, Gable Garenamotse, Amantle Montsho, Isaac Makwala, Nijel Amos, Baboloki Thebe, and others.

They all have different stories. They have done well for the nation and made the people realise that Botswana can do better.
