Tebogo to get P10,000 for breaking 100m record

Tebogo and Matlhaku, respectively broke the men and women’s 100m records during the Sport View Runners Club meet at the National Stadium on Saturday.

Tebogo’s new mark of 10.14 is also a regional record, which means he will pocket P10,000 cash for the feat. However, there is no reward for breaking the local record, which is why Matlhaku will not receive any cash from the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC). The athletes’ incentive policy of 2012 states that only athletes who break regional and international records will get cash rewards.
