The athletics team that participated at the Budapest World Championships will smile all the way to the bank after the corporate sector came on board with cash rewards.

The government has given the team nearly P1million to be shared among all members. Predictably the biggest winner is double medal winner, Tebogo Letsile.

Breakdown Debswana: P20, 000 for coaches, Dose and Chilume. Each coach will receive P10,000. Athletes who did not win a medal will share P70,000, which translates to P10,000 each. Men's relay team members receive P150,000 for reaching the final with each athlete banking P15,000. Tebogo will get P60,000 for his two medals and P10,000 participation fee.

Choppies: P250,000 for Letsile Tebogo.

BPC: 10,000 kilo watts electricity supply for Letsile Tebogo.
