Gaborone — Until the 35th Botswana National Sport Council Awards on May 23, 2015, little was known about Kereleng Mafefe. When he rose to join Nijel Amos who had just received the Sports Person of the Year Award, it was not only to relish the moment together on stage but to show the world the man who made him.
"This award makes me look back to where it all started. For me to be rubbing shoulders with the world's best in 800m, I owe it to this man. He took a risk on me. He said, Nijel you are quitting 5 000 and 3 000m. You are focussing on 800m. Now this is the future," said Nijel to a deafening applause as for the first time many saw the man who gave Batswana the gift in Nijel Amos.
