Thabang Madiba somehow found his way into the world of trail running and in the last few years has become everyone’s favourite in the South African trail scene. He lives in Ga-Rankuwa township, without a mountain in sight… or a physio, chiro or dietician for that matter. But through hard work, dedication and passion, he has won the South African Trail Running Championships multiple times and was the first black South African to represent the country in Trail Running. He has become a hero in his community and is hoping to inspire a new generation of youth through the sport of trail running.

His influence, through your incredible production is reaching around the globe and touching many people. A big warm thank you from Sydney, Oz - Dave

@@SalomonTV That's great and lovely to get such a response from you. As a family we do a lot of self-powered adventure, especially trail running. Salomon TV really keeps our motivation up and has quite an impact on our lives - especially our kids, 7 and 9 (the 7yo is the youngest to complete the City to Surf unassisted - 14km at age 2 1/2 - we regularly run together distances up to 20km). We love our Salomon gear too... :-) Cheers and thank you - Dave
