Government pledges therapy for Letsile Tebogo

Speaking at the funeral, Minister of Youth, Sport, Culture and Gender, Tumiso Rakgare, said the athlete needs psychotherapy as he prepares for his maiden appearance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “You have done a lot for this country, and we still expect more from you, Letsile.

They attacked me after your performance at the Budapest World Athletics Championships, I told them that I was not going to give you a lot. I am not putting you under pressure. I want you to go to Paris and enjoy yourself, but you know what you will get when you bring a medal,” he said. Last year, Rakgare announced that it was now standard that each athlete who brings a medal from the Olympics is rewarded with a house. The first team to receive the housing units was the members of the 4x400m relay team that won a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
