The act of generosity by Herco Radley, a grade 6 pupil at Laerskool Trichardt, was sparked by an incident that took place during an athletics event in Secunda on February 10.
“If he didn’t fall, I would have finished fourth — but because he fell, I finished third and qualified for the next round,” said Radley, who has three other younger brothers. Herco Radley gives his prize to another competitor, who tripped at the end of their 150m hurdles race.The winners each received a letter of confirmation for the next round. They also received their winners’ medals on the podium.
“I walked to him and took my medal off my neck and put it around his neck. I also gave my qualification letter back. They [officials] gave him a letter which made him qualify for the next round.“I watched him compete on Saturday, and even if he isn’t in my school, I was shouting for him.”
😢😔😁👏👏👏👏👏Oh WOW! Now that's how a winner behaves! I think our leadership in this country should be embarrassed by their behaviour and take this behaviour as something to aspire to! Ubuntu in it's purist form!
So sweet. His parents must be proud. Raised such a little gentleman.
