Lentswe, Klerksdorp - Onalenna Khonkhobe trains in the dusty roads of Jouberton. This marathon athlete took to the streets of Soweto over the weekend and won the Soweto Marathon. He danced over the line, as he was so happy. He bagged R250 000 for this win. This man from Klerksdorp, as he said on national TV on Sunday November 3, won in a time of 2:18:36, which gives him an average of 3.18 km/h over the 42 km.
In the interview he said that he planned to race hard from the 22 km mark, but as the competition was so tough, he let go at 39 km. He kept the same pace as his run in the Two Oceans.
He is taking a break after the race and will start training on December 26 for the Dischem half-marathon in Bedfordview on January 12.
