Khotso is by far one of SA’s most decorated international athletes and will be competing with a very strong Long Jump team including Zarck Visser and Ruswahl Samaai. At last year’s World Champs he jumped a 8:16 in the qualification round and 8.10 in the final to finish 7th and in the 2012 London Olympics he came 8th with a 7.93 jump.
