Semenya highlights SA's medal potential at Champs
Cape Argus
|June 11, 2025
CASTER Semenya is confident in SA's medal prospects at the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo in September, but called for more backing for South African athletes.
TeamSA, especially the sprinters, are continuing to light up international meets. Sprinter Akani Simbine is unbeaten in the 100m so far this year, while youngster Bayanda Walaza is staking his claim as the heir apparent. Zakithi Nene boasts the fastest time over the men’s 400m so far in 2025.
“I think if you can continue being consistent and working hard we'll do great,” Semenya told Independent Media on Sunday at the Comrades.
“Simbine is doing quite well; he has been consistent and unbeaten this year, so I'm happy with where he is. And obviously, the young boy Walaza is coming okay. I wish them the best of luck in terms of being consistent throughout the season and wish them the best of luck in the championship.

SA’s naval drill was not about taking sides
RECENT media commentary on South Africa’s participation in a joint naval exercise with China, Russia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates has been marked by a familiar charge: that Pretoria has compromised its professed nonaligned stance and, in doing so, damaged the credibility of its foreign policy.

Elite continuity undermines justice
IT SEEMS a strange day to wake up to news that cast former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as allies - cartoons must surely follow soon that strangely, different to public opinion, will show them on the same side of history, different to earlier satire that painted their rivalry as one that reshaped the country.
