He said, “My Safa card was delayed and that demotivated me. I wanted to continue something that will keep me active and fitness was in my mind.”

Khoza has had success in track events, including finishing fourth in the 400m at the district level under schools.

“My performance has peaked, my training has paid off,” said Khoza.
