Thabang Mosiako is the breakthrough athlete in 2023 . He became the first South African Athlete to break 28min three times – and he did it all in the same year ( only Stephen Mokoka has gone sub 28min twice and that was in 2015 and 2023 ). He then went on to win the SA Half Marathon Championships for his second National Title , before heading off to Riga for the World Half Marathon Championships where he led Team South Africa to a Bronze Medal , clocking 59:52 , finishing 6th overall . In the process becoming only the second South African to go sub 60 over the 21.1km distance on a legal course behind Stephen Mokoka .
