Jeff is one of the boys staying with me in my house he is from Mpumalanga. Jeff saved the best for last. After an up and down season, Jeffrey came oh so close to successfully to win the title. Only the speed of the Free State Champ and eventual winner stood between Jeff and glory..

Jeffrey showed he meant business when he ran the fastest time in half marathon, clocking 1:03min & 47sec in the South African half marathon championship and came 3rd.

Coming into the Soweto marathon the field knew they had to take out the pace hard to prevent Jeffrey from dominating and it was the former champion, Mabutile Lebopo from Lesotho who took the responsibility from the start. The Lesotho guys took the field through half way in a fast pace. Jeff was staying behind. With 2km to go Jeff was perfectly, take the lead and powered to second in the race, winning R50 000!

I am very happy because now he is going to pay his college fees to finish the NQF course, and know we taking the rest for four weeks then after we starting the training programme for Olympic Games next year in London.

I never thought opening my home for someone will to such great achievement and making a dream come true for someone. I would like encourage other youthzones members to welcome others because you never know who might entertain because others entertained angels unaware.
