MBABANE – Almost everyone is caught up in the Imbube Marathon hype and
SwaziBank employees are no exception.
Several companies that include the host organisation, Swaziland National
Provident Fund, are expected to send teams to tomorrow’s activities to feature
mainly in the 10km family run.  During a stop at the SwaziBank Auditorium in
Mbabane, several runners from the reputable financial institution declared their
readiness to take the bull by its horns.
They have the full back backing of Managing Director, Zakhele Lukhele, as they
prepare to take to the road.
“We thank Swaziland National Provident Fund for the initiative. It is
important for people to be healthy. It will encourage more people to run.
“We’re hopeful our team will perform well. We hope to send a bigger
contingent in upcoming years. I couldn’t train well but would feature in
future,” said Lukhele.
Team leader and renowned fitness enthusiast, Sifiso Mdluli, who is attached to
Golden Foot Club, assured the athletes would not just add numbers after training
for about a month. He will expectedly feature in the toughest event, the full
marathon. There are 21 athletes from the bank’s branches who will battle it
out on the day.
