Johannesburg – It’s safe to say Olympic gold medalist, Wayde van Niekerk has gained thousands of new fans over the past few weeks, including Audi South Africa who surprised the sports star with a brand new car upon his return to the country on Wednesday.
But unfortunately not everyone is #TeamWayde, with many people questioning why the athlete was rewarded with a new car, when Caster Semenya, who walked away with the gold medal in the womens 800m final, was not.
Someone who is on Wayde’s side though is TV personality Siv Ngesi. The star tweeted in defense of Wayde on Thursday saying he has no time for people who hate on Wayde, adding that he would “go f—king buck on them!”
