Apart from being an Olympic athlete, Simbine is the CEO of Backtrack Sports, a local sports company that will be training the school’s athletes in 2022.
“We know that Curro Serengeti has some exceptional talent and are excited to see how our athletes develop under the guiding hand of a professional such as Akani and his team.
“We are excited about the rest of the athletic season,” said Henri Neethling, the school’s head of sport.
During the visit, learners and teachers were treated to two exciting sprints – one between Simbine and Henri and another nail-biting race between Simbine and Ofentse Mametsa, a Grade 11 learner. Simbine was kind enough to let Ofentse match him before he flew off, as expected.
