Winning Comrades changed our lives: Kelehe
This year's Comrade Marathon winners, Gift Kelehe and Caroline Wostmann say the race has completely changed their lives.
They were in Johannesburg yesterday for the launch of the 91st Comrades Marathon, under the slogan Izokuthoba, meaning ‘It will humble you’.
Wostmann says the race took her from a non-believer to a winner, while Kelehe says his life has changed in more ways than one.
"Even when I'm walking along the road or in the mall, people would stop me and ask 'are you Gift?' I'd say 'why?' They would say 'you look like him. Are you sure you're not Gift. On the TV you look big but you're such a small guy'," he said.
