8 June 2025- The acting North West Premier, Kenetswe Mosenogi has congratulated Tete Dijana on his remarkable victory at the 2025 Comrades Marathon. This comes after Dijana secured his third Comrades Marathon title for the third time.
Dijana won the title back in 2022 and 2023.
Mosenogi said Dijana has once again made the North West province proud. She further said, notably, the North West province dominated the top finishers, with five athletes placing in the top ten, Tete Dijana (1st), Edward Mothibi (4th), Joseph Manyedi (5th) and Gordon Lesetedi (9th). Mosenogi added the province has shown recent dominance in the Comrades Marathon, with several athletes consistently achieving top honours.
“We congratulate Tete Dijana, Edward Mothibi, Joseph Manyedi and Gordon Lesetedi for proudly putting the North West province on the map with their outstanding performances at this year’s Comrades Marathon.
“This impressive success extends beyond the Comrades, with other provincial athletes excelling in major events such as the Two Oceans Marathon, won by Onalenna Khonkhobe in 2024,” she said.
Mosenogi said the North West Provincial Government remains committed to supporting athletes across various disciplines, and these victories reflect the positive outcomes of their ongoing investment in sports development. She said plans are underway to honour this champion as well as all participants with a heroes’ welcome soon.
