Trending: Tweeps hate the fact that Caster Semenya was robbed of further glory, but happy she has been vindicated
Caster Semenya has been vindicated with her banning now officially recognised as having been discriminatory: Netizens reacted:
@TrackGazette Caster Semenya wins key ruling at the European Court of Human Rights! It was ruled that her right to a fair hearing was VIOLATED by the Swiss courts in her challenge against World Athletics' DSD rules. She won by a majority of 15-2.
The ruling does not overturn World Athletics' DSD policy, but Semenya says the fight continues for other athletes.
The 34-year-old has turned to coaching. Semenya is appealing against World Athletics regulations that female athletes with differences in sexual development (DSDs) medically reduce their testosterone levels. Under World Athletics rules, female DSD athletes must lower their level of testosterone to below 2.5 nmol/L for at least six months to compete. This can be done medically or surgically.
She was barred from competing since 2019. Prior to that, she won 2 Olympic Gold medals and 3 World Championships Gold.
@mbali_ndlela Caster Semenya would have won more Olympic medals by now, they stole a part of her journey, but still, like dust, the Cobra will continue to rise.
@Keemetswe30 The European Court of Human Rights has ruled in favour of Caster Semenya! Yhooo, I hope she sues world athletics for some big mooolaaaaaa
@_uThabiso 'It is no longer about me fighting to compete, it is about fighting for what is right. Fighting for the upcoming generation, because there are a lot of kids that are affected by the same ruling. This battle will not finish now. We will fight until the end.' – Caster Semenya
@Melo_Malebo Caster Semenya won the fight but her wife's loyalty was the real victory behind the scenes.
@Only_Botake We are Caster Semenya and Caster Semenya is us.... Humanity is winning...
@visse_ss Europe Tried to Destroy Caster Semenya. For years, a global conspiracy, led by World Athletics and backed by European sports institutions; waged war on a woman's body. Not because she cheated or doped. But because she was too powerful. Too fast. They told her to 'fix' what was natural. To become less, just to make Europeans feel comfortable.

'You gave me a chance, I ran with it' – teen Olympian pays it forward
His 100m personal best is 9.94 seconds, but Bayanda Walaza's greatest leap was out of hopelessness. I nearly didn't make it, says star teenage sprinter Bayanda Walaza "I truly felt afraid of losing my future." Bayanda Walaza, the world's fastest teenager, remembers the moment when he overheard a conversation about what it would take to attend a top school that could nurture his sprinting talent. "It hit me that no matter how hard I worked, without support I might not make it," says the 19-year-old. "I was in a place where I knew I had big dreams, but I didn't quite know how to reach them. Mentally, I was determined, but sometimes it felt like the odds were stacked against me." Everything changed when the Ruta Sechaba Foundation awarded Walaza a scholarship to attend Curro Hazeldean in Pretoria. Now, he's paying it forward by leading the Foundation's Nelson Mandela Day "I Funded A Future" campaign, rallying South Africans to help raise 67 donations and unlock a bonus scholarship for a learner in need. After only weeks under coach Thabo Matebedi, Walaza was shaving tenths of a second off his 100m and 200m personal bests and winning gold in both events at the South Africa Under-20 Championships. By August, the schoolboy had an Olympic silver medal around his neck as a member of South Africa's 4x100m relay team in Paris, and in May this year he ran the 100m in a personal best of 9.94 sec, just twelve-hundredths of a second outside Akani Simbine's national record. Reflecting on his journey from a backyard shack in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni, to the pinnacle of youth athletics, Walaza remains a powerful voice in South African sport, inspiring the next generation as he champions access to education and opportunity. "I was in a place where I knew I had big dreams, but I didn't quite know how to reach them," he says. "Emotionally, I was hopeful but also anxious. Academically, I tried hard but it was tough without access to the right resources." Walaza says the idea of a "world-class education" felt like something other children had – "something I would only see on TV or read about. It felt out of reach, like it belonged to a different world." Wave of gratitude Being awarded the scholarship changed that. "I'll never forget that day. I was in total shock. For a second, I thought it might be a mistake. But then it sank in and I just felt this wave of gratitude." The first person Walaza told was his mother, Tholiwe. "We hugged for a long time," he says. "I could see in her eyes that she knew life would be different now." Walaza is one of more than 3 000 young people awarded Ruta Sechaba (Sesotho for "educating the nation") scholarships to Curro schools since 2016. Recipients are selected for their academic and sporting excellence, leadership potential and commitment to making a difference in their communities. "The scholarship gave me confidence," says Walaza. "It showed me that people believed in my potential, even when I didn't fully believe in it myself. It opened the door to a better future. I went from surviving to dreaming big. "I started to believe that I could compete internationally – not just in sport but in life. It also made me realise that success is not just for certain people, it's for anyone who is given a chance." Walaza says it became clear that his personal good fortune represented something bigger when he visited his old primary school in Katlehong. "A young boy told me, 'I want to run like you one day.' That moment hit me hard. I realised I'm not just running for me – I'm running for everyone who's ever been told their dreams are too big." Someone's potential shouldn't be limited by where they were born, he says. "Talent lives everywhere – in every street, every school, every family. All it needs is a chance. "That donation could be the reason a future doctor, engineer or Olympian gets their start. It's not about knowing us, it's about believing in what's possible." After passing matric (with a distinction in isiZulu), Walaza now combines athletics with supply chain management studies at Tshwane University of Technology. What would he say to someone who thinks their contribution to a Ruta Sechaba scholarship won't make a difference? "I'd say, 'I am the difference your contribution made.' Even the smallest act of giving can change the entire direction of a young person's life. "I nearly didn't make it, but I was given a chance and I ran with it – literally and figuratively." • Donate to the Ruta Sechaba Foundation at

Pretoria granny becomes arm-wrestling champion after supporting her son
After joining to support her son, Meintjies found her calling in arm-wrestling and now dreams of representing South Africa. A Pretoria grandmother went from being curious to becoming an arm-wrestling champion in a matter of months after winning her first competition. Natashja Meintjies, 39, left in picture, from Waverley in Pretoria, began her arm-wrestling journey unexpectedly in 2023, when her son showed interest in the sport. Meintjies competed in the Armdruk is Groot (Arm-wrestling is Big) competition over the weekend, against six other women. Pretoria gran wins national arm-wrestling title 'It was a rough weekend. I won two matches and lost three. I looked at the video footage afterwards and saw what I should work on in preparation for the World Championships in Bulgaria in September.' Meintjies, who has three children aged 23, 20 and seven and a grandchild of six months, said her dream was to represent South Africa on an international arm-wrestling stage. ALSO READ: Will you know me in heaven? 'My son asked me to join him and, wanting to support him, I decided to give it a try. We got in touch with a well-known club in Pretoria North called Valiant Arms and began training there once a week. I had no idea at the time how quickly this sport would become a major part of my life.' Meintjies said about a month or two into training she entered her first competition – and to her surprise she came first. That win lit a fire in her and she was hooked. 'I quickly learned that arm-wrestling is far more than just raw strength or the kind of pub battles people joke about. Sport built on technique, timing and discipline 'It's a sport built on technique, timing, discipline and, yes, a great deal of strength. 'There are rules, set-ups and strategies that most people don't see unless they're on the table themselves,' she said. ALSO READ: The pain of not acting in my grandmother's final days Meintjies said at first she only competed with her right hand because she didn't think her left arm was strong enough. But then she discovered that her left arm was 'just as capable' and began competing with both. In March 2023, Meintjies competed in a qualifier for the East vs West international competition held in Istanbul, Türkiye, where she took first place and, two months later, third place representing South Africa in Türkiye. Meintjies began to support her son Meintjies also competed in her first Arnold Classic that year and took first place in the right hand and third place in left hand. Despite an injury last year, she returned and claimed first place with both arms. ALSO READ: Granny blues: Anything goes for'grandma' She also competed in the national competition in Paarl, Western Cape, where she repeated her SA first place right, and earned second in the left. Now Meintjies is looking forward to competing in the World Championships in Bulgaria, alongside a team of top South African athletes. She is approaching sponsors to help her make her dream to compete on an international stage come true. 'This journey has gone far beyond what I expected – and it all began with a simple moment of saying yes to my son. 'I love this sport. It's not just a competition for me any more – it's a passion, a community and a constant push to become better than I was yesterday,' she said.

Kempton athlete to represent SA at world pole sports event
Kempton Park resident Alana Jackson has been selected to represent South Africa at the International Pole Sports Federation (IPSF) World Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from October 20 to 25, 2025. This will be the third time Jackson represents South Africa on the international stage. 'It is such a great honour to be representing South Africa for the third time at the IPSF Worlds, this time in a solo capacity for two categories. I do this proudly,' said Jackson. The 35-year-old explained that her artistic solo routines earned her a spot on the national team. ALSO READ: National Wrestling Federation brings wrestling event to Kempton Park Her artistic pole routine is inspired by Faith Like Potatoes, telling the story of a farmer who struggles through drought before finally celebrating fruitful ground after rain. Her artistic aerial pole routine explores the journey of a woman coming to terms with a life she never expected to want. 'I was ecstatic when I found out I had qualified. My scores were much higher than expected. It's such an unreal feeling,' she said. Jackson, who has been doing pole fitness for 13 years, said her training includes warm-ups, pole and off-pole conditioning, stretching, and practising tricks and combos. She also incorporates calisthenics to support strength building. She described the IPSF World Championships as a prestigious event featuring over 500 athletes from around the globe.

Jackson owns Phenomena Aerial Dance and Fitness in Glen Marais, which she opened in 2020. The studio currently has 25 students, and she says there is always room for more. She credits her coach, Benita Bouwer – a recorded world champion – and her calisthenics coach, Dominic Lewarne, for their ongoing support. 'Training in winter is a big challenge. The poles are cold, and so is the weather, but thinking about the world championships keeps me motivated,' she said. 'I need to make myself and my people proud, keeping our country and its incredible athletes visible in the sport.' Her goal for the competition is to deliver clean performances that resonate with the audience. 'A fair score would be a bonus. I'll keep training the best I can and ensure my tricks are flawless.' She encourages aspiring athletes to find a studio and a qualified coach who believes in them, to put in the work, and to never give up. 'It's not easy, but you can do it,' she said. ALSO READ: Gauteng climber set to represent SA in Europe Jackson trains as often as she can, with each session lasting around two hours. She draws inspiration from top-level athletes as well as her newest students. She is excited to experience the global talent at the event, be inspired by fellow competitors, and build new friendships along the way. Jackson also noted that the South African team of 25 athletes is self-funded and needs support, whether through financial contributions or raffle item donations to help raise funds for the trip.
