The 2023 edition of the Comrades Marathon, one of South Africa's most iconic and grueling long-distance races, saw a number of remarkable performances from runners across the country. However, few communities could be prouder than Manguzi, a small town located in the northern corner of KwaZulu-Natal. Leading the charge was Kwanda Sibiya, an athlete who had been quietly making a name for himself on the provincial circuit for several years.  "I'm really happy with my race today," Sibiya said after the event. "The weather was tough, but I had good support from my family, colleagues, my sponsors and the people of Manguzi. They've always believed in me, and this is a special moment for all of us." But Sibiya was far from the only runner from Manguzi to make waves at the event. In fact, the town made up a significant portion of the field, with dozens of residents taking on the grueling 87-kilometer course. Among them was Phumzane Ntuli, Cebo “Mr Vibe” Mthembu.
