Gqeberha sprinters Shirley Nekhubui and Luxolo Adams have been named in the South African team to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, from July 28 to August 8.
Nekhubui will compete in the 4x400m relay while Adams has been chosen for the 200m and 4x100m relay events.
Both are members of the Madibaz Athletics Club.
Twenty-one-year-old Nekhubui made an impact on SA sprinting earlier this year when she set a record of 16.96 seconds in winning the 150m race at the Newton Classic in Johannesburg.
Now she looks forward to taking her running to the next level as she excitedly anticipates her first appearance at one of athletics' major international meetings.
"I'm overwhelmed with joy at my selection for the national team," said Nekhubui. "The prospect of making further progress in my career is a blessing and I'm keen to make the most of this opportunity."
