“It’s not easy to get to this point, but I’ve been trying since 2017,” said 30-year-old Maisa, who is based in Springs on the East Rand of Gauteng.

“A gold medal was not in my mind today, but I just told myself when I get here I have to push myself and at least try to run 35 minutes, which I was able to do.

2026 SA 10km Champion, Zanele Maisa

“It wasn’t easy because everyone who is here prepared for this race and they were aiming to get the position I got, but I think because of my preparation and dedication, that’s where I am right now, and I’m so happy to win the SA title.”
