Zimbabwe's Makarawu honoured in the US

Zimbabwe's top sprinter, Tapiwanashe Makarawu, has been honored in the City of Hobbs, New Mexico, United States, where September 3 has been officially designated as "Tapiwanashe Makarawu Day" to celebrate his achievements on the track.

The National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe (NAAZ) took to social media platform X to congratulate Makarawu on this recognition, which was declared by the city's mayor, Sam Cobb.

"We are immensely proud of @carliemakarawu for being such an inspiration to all Zimbabwean athletes," NAAZ wrote.

Makarawu recently made headlines by finishing sixth in the finals of the men's 200-meter race at the Paris Olympics.
