Mthembu finished in 11 hours, reports the Daily Sun. Despite the fact that this was not his preferred time, Cebolenkosi is grateful because he barely trained this year. He blamed it on the COVID lockdown.

"Marathons are not for the fain-hearted. I had so many stops this time compared to other years. Perhaps not having enough time to train was the reason."
