PARKRUN EARNS NKULULEKO A JOB

MBABANE – “I am grateful to the Mbabane Parkrun as it opened opportunities for me.”

These were comments by 34-timeparkrun winner Nkululeko Gama. The Eswatini Umbutfo Defence Force athlete disclosed yesterday how the weekly parkrun opened doors for him.

“I applied for a job at Buffaloes Soldiers and when they invited me for an interview, they recognised that I was the runner who usually wins the parkrun. They said their job title entails a person who is physical fit and they said they did not need proof as they always saw me in the newspapers,” Gama said.
He said he was grateful for the job offer and would do his utmost best to make the company proud.

The EUDF athlete yesterday did not disappoint as he won the 101st edition of the weekly Parkrun which started and finished at Mbabane Club yesterday. He also won the 100th instalment last week, beating 132 runners. Gama is the not  only the runner with the most wins but hold holds the record for being the fastest runner as his personal best time is at 14:56 minutes.

Gama recently won the TZD Half Marathon which was held at Siteki Hotel.
There were over 50 runners who participated in the parkrun.
