Johannesburg – Lebogang Phalula claimed victory in the Totalsports women’s 10km race in 33 minutes 22 seconds at the Mary Fitzgerald Square, Newtown on Sunday.
Phalula said it was a memorable win.
“There was a very nice vibe on the day. I was surprised by the support. Everyone seemed to know my name and shouted for me as I ran past,” said Phalula.
“Taking part in a women’s race on Women’s Day is very special. This is Ubuntu, power to the women. On Monday I will participate in the Totalsports Women’s Race in Stellenbosch. I will be a social runner though as I want to help my sister achieve her goal of finishing the 10km race in 32 minutes.”
Tebogo Masehla took second place with a time of 36:34 and Chery-lee Schoeman finished third crossing the line in 36:50.
