ATHLETICS Ferdinand Omanyala’s fiancée Laventa Amutavi makes ambitious quest for long jump excellence
Although she is training hard to emulate Omanyala in the 100 meter race category, Amutavi wishes to create a name for herself in the long-jump category.
1) She is a mother
Amutavi is a proud mother of one, a baby boy, whom she shares with Omanyala. They were blessed with their son, Quinton Omanyala when they were still in the University.
As reported by K24, Amutavi disclosed in a past interview that the birth of their son caught them by surprise since they were not financially stable to cater to him.
"I thank my family for they came on board to assist but it reached a time that we went broke since, in as much we got support, we didn't have a salary to sustain us," she said at the time.
2) She has ‘many’ siblings
Amutavi is her mother’s third born in a family of four but she has other siblings. In an interview on Spice FM earlier this year, Amutavi disclosed that she grew up in Kaimosi and she has many siblings.

3) She studied at the Moi University
