Relay teams qualify for next round

The men's team of Isaac Makwala, Sakarea Kamberuka, Tiroyaone Masake, Gakologelwang Masheto and Obakeng Ngwigwa finished third in the heats to qualify for the next round while golden girl Amantle Montsho crossed the line first to lead the women to a win in their heat. The other women in the team are Kgalalelo Sefo, Oarabile Babolai, Lydia Mashila, Goitseone Seleka and Irene Motunge.  The women's team started slowly but soon picked up and Montsho covered for the slow start of the team to finish first. Expectations for medals from the two teams are high.

The women team is tipped to do better with Montsho expected to repeat last week's exploits to win the country another medal. 
Meanwhile, reports say that Nigerian sprinter Oludamola Osayomi remains provisionally suspended.
