Zimbabwean athletes ruled the roost at the annual Slave
Route Challenge on Sunday.
Veteran Rabson Chigara and his Zimbabwean compatriot,
Fortunate Chidzivo, stole the show with convincing victories which they hope
will set them on the path to greater honours ahead.
Chigara, who has been troubled by a hamstring injury,
retained his title, crossing the line in 1 hr 09 min 38 sec – three minutes
outside his winning time last year. The Nedbank pair, Mthandazo Qhina and Amos
Nyonga, kept Chigara company to the top of Longmarket Street in Bo-Kaap – the
steepest hill in town – before Chigara and Nyonga broke clear in the second
half.
