Josiah Thug wane

Josiah Thugwane was born on 22 April 1971 in Bethal, Mpumalanga. When he was a small child, he lived with his grandmother. They worked on a white man's farm.

Josiah had to get up early in the morning and take the cattle out to the fields. Sometimes it rained and he got wet. His thin clothes did not keep him warm. Sometimes there was no food in the house. He had to work all day with an empty stomach.

The farmer did not let Josiah go to school. He said that Josiah must work or leave the farm. Josiah did not have anywhere else to go, so he stayed on the farm and looked

after the cattle. Josiah did not learn to read or write until he was grown up.

Josiah ran very fast when he was small. This was good because he often had to run after the cattle. On Sunday afternoons he played soccer with the other boys on the farm. He was the best soccer player on the farm. "One day you will play for Orlando Pirates," said the other boys. But they did not know that one day Josiah would be a great runner of long races

Born on 22 April 1971 in Bethal, Mpumalanga, Josiah Thugwane's early days were spent living with his grandmother and working on a white man's farm. This meant waking up early in the morning to take the cattle out to the fields, regardless of the weather conditions. Rain or shine, Josiah had to brave the elements, often ending up soaked and freezing in his thin clothes that failed to keep him warm. Besides enduring physical discomfort, there were days when food was scarce, leaving him to work long hours on an empty stomach.

Education was not a luxury afforded to Josiah by the farmer he lived with. In fact, he was explicitly forbidden from attending school, being told that his only options were to work or leave the farm. Trapped in a desperate situation with nowhere else to turn, Josiah chose to stay and continue tending to the cattle. As a result, he did not learn to read or write until he reached adulthood.

Despite the hardships, one thing became apparent at a young age - Josiah's exceptional speed. This natural talent proved invaluable as it allowed him to keep up with the fast-moving cattle and complete his tasks efficiently. On Sunday afternoons, Josiah would join the other boys on the farm in a game of soccer. His skills on the field were unmatched, and the other boys would often tell him, "One day you will play for Orlando Pirates." Little did they know that Josiah's athletic abilities would take him down a different path, leading him to become a renowned long-distance runner.
