Updated | By Sky Tshabalala
From being a meth addict to winning medals, we catch up with inspirational world champion Luvo Manyonga.
They say to get to the top it's all about hard work and dedication, but for Luvo Manyonga, getting to the top took more than that.
Rewind five years - Luvo is on the streets of Cape Town and is a drug addict. He has the most amazing story to tell from where he was to where he is now.
Luvo broke two African records in long jump in 2017 and then became a world champion at the World Champs in London.
In 2016 in Rio, Luvo won a silver medal! Luvo is now primed to become one of the greatest athletes in South African history.
