MBABANE – Athlete Mduduzi Dlamini yesterday emerged as the hero of the 94th
edition of the Mbabane parkrun.
The weekly 5km race, which attracted 100 runners, started and finished at
Mbabane Club. Dlamini clocked an impressive 16:48 minutes, beating Sibusiso
Shabangu to the top spot. The latter finished in 16:52 minutes. Completing the
top three was Siyabonga Masuku on 17:36 minutes. Shining in the ladies category
was Gugu Mthembu on 22:34 minutes with Simphiwe Gama coming  second on 23:27
minutes. In third, Gcinile Magongo clocked 26:11 minutes.
Meanwhile, the numbers were slightly less than last week’s. Over 100 runners
had taken part in the 93rd edition, which saw many coming in red in the spirit
of Valentine’s Day and the parkrun organisers pampered all participants with
chocolates and cards to promote love. Winning the ‘love race’ last week was
Swazi Slojos athlete Zwelithini Mndzebele in 16:10 minutes while Delisile
Ngubane was first in the ladies’ division in 29:12 minutes.
