“We couldn’t be prouder of him. Zandreh is a model student. He has the most beautiful personality. I believe God has given him this raw talent for running and my wish is that he can take it further,” Shelley said.
Zandreh is an all-rounder athlete with an excellent academic record. According to Ravenscroft, he has received his academic badges for the past three years.
He also earned his Ekurhuleni colours earlier this year after dominating the 1 200m track event at the District Six Championships.
