With the passing of two Comrades Marathon participants (RIP Phakamile Ntshiza and Mzameleni Mthembu) last Sunday, I was reminded of my moment of insensitivity.
A first Comrades Marathon for a normally joyous and bubbly Phakamile Ntshiza turned out to be his last. According to his friend, the runner was unusually quiet on the Sunday morning before the race.
