The South African men’s 4x100 metre relay team gave South Africa their fourth gold medal and set a new world record in 41.78 seconds at the Paralympic Games in London on Thursday.
Samkelo Radebe, Zivan Smith, Arnu Fourie and Oscar Pistorius set the stadium alight.
Brazil’s Alan Oliveira was close to catching Pistorius on the line but the South African avoided a repeat of his loss to Oliviera in the 200 metre individual final.
Earlier, Pistorius and Fourie stormed home in their different heats to qualify for the men’s 100m T44 track final, in times of 11.18 and 11.29 respectively.
Dyan Buis won the bronze medal in the men’s F38 long jump - his medal taking South Africa’s tally to 16 - three gold, five silver and eight bronze.
