INSPIRATION
Meet Our Ambassadors
The Totalsports Women ’ s Race is proud to count these three inspirational women as official brand ambassadors of the event in 2024 .
Meet Lerato Mokhaneli …
Lerato is one of the most inspirational women we know ! Having only started running in December 2023 , as a plus-sized woman , she is smashing her fitness and weight-loss goals , and is an incredible example to everyone out there who may be too afraid to try . As a mother of a 10-year-old daughter , Lerato decided last year to take charge of her life by adopting a healthier lifestyle , in order to set a good example for her daughter . Now , just seven months later , she has dreams of running a half marathon .
Due to her authenticity and determination , Lerato has built up a large following on social media , and it is a privilege for us to have her as a Totalsports Women ’ s Race Ambassador , especially since her goal is to have fun on the run while enjoying this celebration of womanhood .
In Lerato ’ s Own Words

We are excited to host Lerato in Durban , Cape Town and Joburg , and we invite all our participants to hop on to the Lerato bus … it ’ s going to be an amazing ride !
Meet Masibulele Mkhundlu …
Masibulele , or Fit Masi as she is affectionately known , began her fitness journey six years ago in the gym , but then decided to look to running to further challenge herself . This journey has seen her go from initially loving the 5km distance to becoming a multiple Comrades Marathon finisher , and today she is a fitness influencer who is passionate about running , fitness and influencing women ( and men ) in sports .
Masi motivates and inspires others through her daily posts and vibrant personality , and says she wakes up every day with the goal of encouraging people to follow their fitness dreams . She is really excited about being an Ambassador for the Totalsports Women ’ s Race , because she loves the idea that the event prioritises and celebrates women .
