National Hero Letsile Tebogo Shares Inspirational Message to 2.7 Million People Ahead of Diamond League

Letsile Tebogo does not want kids to go through the same hardship as him. Tebogo came from a humble background. Born in Kanye, a small village in Botswana, Tebogo did not have access to most of the modern track and field amenities. In fact, apart from Jamaica, not many Africans were doing great in the track realm. Thus, the Botswana icon decided to take on the challenge and put his country’s name on the premier track and field list. Well, now that he has done so, Tebogo has one more wish to fulfill.

The Olympic gold medal winner stated that he will be looking to encourage more and more kids to get into track and field. In a recent interaction, Botswana’s national hero had an announcement to make for all of the 2.7 million people of his country. He stated that he wants to take out more and more kids out of the neighbourhood that still lacks significantly in terms of track and field amenities. Thankfully, this time, the kids will not have to worry about finding the proper guidance. They all will be served on a platter the mantra to elevate themselves in the sport. 

“And right now, we are on a campaign to take as many kids to get into a sporting course to help them get out of the neighborhood that we grew up in,” said Tebogo. He also continued pointing out that while the campaign might look a bit challenging, the response has been overwhelming. Trying to achieve a certain goal, Tebogo mentioned how he has been receiving significant reciprocations to get heavily encouraged.

They shouldn’t give up on their dreams, because Rome wasn’t built in a day. It took years to build up to where I am right now,” said Tebogo. Meanwhile, while he spoke about his noble mission, Tebogo also reflected on how his Olympic victory helped him materialize his dreams.
