Tadu, followed home by Kesa Molotsane of Murray & Roberts and Irvette van Zyl of Nedbank in second and third place, will be crowned overall winner in Gqeberha next weekend with another podium finish. “Fortunately, weather conditions in Ethiopia and Johannesburg are similar and if I stayed here maybe I will run faster times. The course in Gqeberha next weekend is expected to be flat and I am hoping to run a faster time.”
“In terms of performances, as SA runners we need a lot of competition from those coming from outside the borders,” said Molotsane.
