Letsile Tebogo makes major plea to African governments during G7 address
Botswana sprinter Letsile Tebogo has provided solutions to African governments on how to compete favorably with Americans & Europeans during a G7 summit address.
Tebogo recently revealed how he has seen his herd grow exponentially since winning the Olympics gold medal in 200m, the first for his country and Africa.
He received a lot of cattle donations from various quarters in Botswana, as the country sought to appreciate him for the glory he brought to the nation, and has now decided to turn his hobby into an investment.
"I personally had 10 animals – cows and goats – and then the Botswana government gave me about 30 more now. I am still counting, there are still more coming from them," Tebogo told World Athletics in September.

'He is arrogant and cocky' - Fred Kerley agrees with Letsile Tebogo as he aims fresh swipe at Noah Lyles
Fred Kerley has aimed a fresh dig at his compatriot Noah Lyles by agreeing with Letsile Tebogo over his 'arrogant' & 'cocky' attitude.
“Farming takes me away from the city life, so I can just refresh my mental life. Because in the city you are not a free human, but in the bush, you are a free human being.
“It allows me to distract myself away from track and field. Once you think about track and field too much, at the moment you get too much stress.”
Cattle are a symbol of wealth and respect in Botswana but the Kanya-born sprinter is not just looking to use what he has as a status symbol, but rather convert it into an income generating venture.

“It is an investment for me because athletics is not a long-term career so I need to have different opportunities and see what I could channel our money into.”
