IN GOOD SHAPE: Makwala PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

Isaac Makwala has proven that he still has a lot to offer in the men’s 4x400m relay following his brilliant performance during the Lefika International Relays held at the National Stadium over the weekend.

Makwala was the starter for the Jwaneng athletics club 4x400m relay team alongside Letsile Tebogo for team Botswana.

Jwaneng finished in the second position in 3:03.56 while team Botswana stopped the clock in 3:02.97. Other members for Team Botswana were Leungo Scotch, Bayapo Ndori, anchored by Tumo van Wyk. The event was supposed to have been attended by teams from other countries such as Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, but none of them attended.
