Athletics South Africa (ASA) Athletes Commission Chairperson Hendrick Mokganyetsi has confirmed to SABC Sport that the national federation will support 2016 Olympic silver medallist Luvo Manyonga by enrolling him in a coaching course and will also assist him in returning to the sand-pit as an active jumper.
South African long jump legend Khotso Mokoena is doubtful of Luvo Manyonga’s return to the sport following his four-year ban that ends in December 2024.
Athletics South Africa president James Moloi has vowed to support long jumper Luvo Manyonga, who is currently serving a four-year doping ban.
South African long jump champion Jovan Van Vuuren hopes to follow in the footsteps of Luvo Manyonga and Ruswahl Samaai by winning a medal at the World Senior Championships, starting in Hungary later this year.
