“We want Seshego Marathon to be at the level of the Soweto Marathon. The shirts are a product for Limpopo and we want the entire province to own the brand and be proud of it,” he said.

Kgomo explained the race is a result of a foundation called Sisonke, which assists learners with reading difficulties at school from underprivileged families to acquire reading glasses. “We needed funding, so we thought of the marathon as a charity event to raise the money to assist the learners.”
Appreciation was given to the sponsors of the event; MTN, Hollywoodbets, Talisman, as well as Energy FM and Polokwane Review for being the marathon’s media partners.
