-

POLOKWANE - In a remarkable demonstration that protecting communities and pursuing athletic excellence go hand in hand, the South African Police Service (SAPS) Limpopo Marathon Club members raced to victory across three separate competitions, showcasing the force's commitment to both professional duty and personal fitness.

On Saturday, 10 May 2025, while many of their colleagues were maintaining law and order across the province, these dedicated SAPS athletes were setting an inspiring example at running events in Polokwane, Haenertsburg, and Phalaborwa simultaneously.

The discipline required to excel in law enforcement translates perfectly to long-distance running. The members proved they are trained to persevere through challenges, push beyond perceived limitations, and finish what they start, whether that's pursuing suspects or crossing finish lines.

Breaking Records, Not Just Cases: At the Rocky Nice and Easy Half Marathon in Polokwane, Grounds Man Mabotja from SAPS Lebowakgomo Garage claimed Position 1 in the 10KM Males 40-49 category, while Constable Selepe from SAPS Burgersfort POP dominated the 21KM Males 40-49 division.

The LIMA Cross Country League 2 in Haenertsburg saw Grounds Man Mabotja secure his second victory (Position 1)of the weekend in the 8KM Males 45-49 category, displaying remarkable stamina and versatility.

Sergeant Ramosibudi from SAPS Modjadjiskloof earned Position 2 in the 4KM Females 45-49 division.

At Phalaborwa's Baby Elephant 3-in-1 Race, retired Captain Setati proved that the SAPS spirit of excellence continues beyond active service, taking first place in the 10KM Males 60-69 category.

The Provincial Commissioner of police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe praised all the members for their continued efforts and commitment.
