Botswana sprinter Tebogo Letsile gave the world a glimpse into his life off the track.
The Olympic medalist has made various headlines since his historic win at the Olympic Paris 2024.
Choppies, a Botswana company, presents him with R1,350,000, while the government awards him R270,000 for his outstanding achievements.
In a recent interview that has gone viral, Letsile who now owns millions in his account, and properties in his name revealed that he is a farmer.
“I was in the farm this morning and I spent the night over there. Basically, in the farm what we do is. I mostly have cattle, and I need to have a solid plan on what I am going to do to increase the number of cattle.”
“Personally, I think I will go with the investment for me. I think athletics is not a long-term career so I need to have different opportunities and see how we could channel our money.”
Social media users flooded the video with mixed reactions.
He’s investing in livestock at the age of 21. God knew not to give me this life because I’d be unhinged. I’d invest in stocko but not livestock https://t.co/2FCVwRKx3R
