Listen to the interview and read the story below:

'Humble' is one of the words which best describes Bongmusa Mthembu. The star athlete joined Darren, Keri, and Sky ahead of his Comrades run on Sunday, 9 June.

He shared what his previous win means to him and that remaining humble through it all is very important. Bongmusa spoke of his routines and what he does to practice.

One of the moments which stood out during the interview was when East Coast Radio's General Manager, Boni Mchunu, handed Bongmusa a rose, which symbolises our support for him this weekend.

One of the big questions was what this star athlete eats to stay in such amazing condition. Find that out and more in the interview.
