AWSUM Celebrity Interview

Q Did you excel in sport at shool?

A Yes, I was the World Junior Champ in long jump while I was still at school, at the age of 19.

Q It is well-known that you were a tik addict. How did you manage to overcome that?

A I don’t really like to talk about it anymore, because I am not that person anymore. But as an inspiration for your readers I can say that it depends on the person you are and how much you really want to change your life. You have to get away from the situation mentally and physically. My family was such strong support during my struggle. I owe my success in overcoming this to my family and the Mighty God. Q 2016 and 2017 were two years of huge achievement and glory. How does it feel to have reached these heights? What is your daily motivation?

A I hope this is just the beginning for me. My daily motivation is that I can look at the world and say that I have lost the Olympic Gold Medal by only 1 cm. That 1 cm is my reminder to put my mind towards and work hard at being great. I am now the world champion.

Q As you’ve said earlier, you were the world junior long jump champion in 2010. In August this year you became the senior world long jump champion.

How does it feel to be the best in the world?

A As you say, I’ve been there before, but it is now on a different level. I always feel this is not enough – there is more to achieve than what I am doing now.

Q How do you handle the fame and attention that come your way as a highprofile athlete?

A One has to guard against it going to your head, as it can destroy you. It’s not easy to always be in the spotlight. Mental strength is very important. I make sure I keep perspective.

Q What was the highlight of your career this far?

A 2017 itself is the highlight of my career. I have never been so honoured, from being undefeated in the Diamond League, to becoming world champion and SA Sport Star of the Year.

World long jump champion Luvo Manyonga was the big winner at the SA Sports Awards on 12 November when he was crowned not only Sportsman of the Year, but also Sports Star of the Year.

The South African long jump phenomenon beat the likes of Wayde van Niekerk and Chad le Clos to claim the Sportsman of the Year accolade. AWSUM News checked in with Luvo on his achievements and life journey to become the world champion in August this year.

Q Congratulations on being awarded both SA Sportsman of the Year and SA Sports Star of the Year. What do these accolades mean to you?

A It is huge. I says to me that my country recognises my achievements. it’s a huge moment to be honoured like this.

Q You hail from Paarl. Tell us a bit about your school years and hometown.

A I played a lot of sport at school, at Desmond Tutu Secondary School in Mbekweni. I was really just a normal kid who enjoyed sport more than anything.

AWSUM NEWS Achievers’ Edition 2017

Q What are your future aspirations? What is the one thing you would really like to achieve? The big dream?

A I want to win the Olympic gold medal. And I want gold at the World Indoors, the Commonwealth Games, the Continental Cup and the African Cup. Then I would have won everything. I am still getting there. It will be like winning the grand slam of athletics.

Q What goes through your mind the moment before you start a jump?

A I zone out. I see myself making the jump and landing on the other side.

Q What do you do in your leisure time?

A I mostly watch cartoons. I also go to entertainment parks, for activities such as bowling.

Q What makes your heart beat faster when you are away from the athletics field?

A My girlfriend, Khomotso Mamburu. She is a very special person in my life.

She means a lot to me. She is also an athlete. She plays Free State softball and has been the player of the tournament in the Varsity Cup. Q What message do you have for our readers (high-school kids) about life and how to achieve their dreams?

A Keep on working hard. Go to school and study hard. You are the future.
