Letsile Tebogo: More goodies for Botswana's golden boy as he lands lucrative sponsorship
Botswana sprinter Letsile Tebogo has received yet another reward for his Paris Olympics heroics after landing a one-year sponsorship from a top restaurant.

“Today, that vision has been realised in the most spectacular way. We are here to honour 14 of our finest, Botswana’s Olympians, who competed with unmatched zeal and brought home unprecedented glory.”

'Tebogo had 30,000 but I had no bus waiting'– American sprint king slams USA for not celebrating its Olympians
The Olympic champion has expressed his disappointment at the lukewarm reception Team USA athletes received back home despite their successful outing in Paris.
The rewards come hot on the heels of much more which has already been given to the sprinter and his team-mates since returning to the country after the Paris Olympics where he won gold in 200m before anchoring the 4x400m relay team to a silver medal.
Top restaurant Park27 last week pledged a sponsorship of P10,000 (Ksh96,347) per month for the next one year to fund his athletics preparations.
Botswanan gold medallists in Paris were being rewarded P1 million (Ksh9,538,990), silver attracting P500,000 (Ksh4,769,495) while bronze medallists take home P250,000 (2,384,747). Finalists also received a P25,000 (Ksh238,474) cash prize.
