The government will reward 400m T13 runner, Edwin ‘Tiger’ Masuge with P25, 000 for reaching the final at the ongoing 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, France.

Masuge finished in position five in yesterday's final, in the process, setting a new Personal Best of 49.38s.

Maotwe said the focus will now shift to the World Championships next year.
