Coach Chilume Ntshwarang says he told Collen Kebinatshipi to avoid complacency and maintain what he has been doing

Under the lights of the mighty King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, during the men’s 400m Wanda Diamond League final, sat Chilume Ntshwarang, the man who has shaped Busang Collen Kebinatshipi to stardom.

In the process, he set a new Meeting Record (MR) and a National Record (NR), stopping the clock at 43.40s.
