It looks Nijel Amos is back at what he does best, athletics after a controversial year that saw him turn to music.

 

Recently a team of sports officials comprising Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) first vice president Moses Moruisi, Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) vice president Glody Dube and Athletes' Commission chairperson Master Luza visited Potchefstroom to check on the youngster and came back pleased with his progress. "He is doing fine in South Africa. When his coach came for a press conference they spoke and it was great. He went back," said Moruisi. Although Moruisi would not reveal Amos' next destination, indications are that he could be going to the United States (US).BNOC clashed with BAA over his next destination late last year with the former favouring a move to Ethiopia. "We are working on that, he came here and there were issues with the coach and those were resolved," Moruisi said, stressing the athlete was happy with the current arrangement. He said Amos was fit after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him from the 2013 World Championships. Moruisi said he was unaware whether Amos would start competing any time soon.Verster is a highly rated coach who has worked with with 800 metres World Champion Hezekiel Sepeng, Olympic finalist Glody Dube and London 2012 800 metres semi-finalist, Andre Olivier.
