Big payday for Tokyo medallists
On Friday, car maker Toyota disbursed more than R700 000 during a ceremony to celebrate the podium finishers from the two multicoded spectacles that were staged in Tokyo between July and beginning of this month.
Athletes who won gold medals were awarded R100 000 each, while silver and bronze medallists received R50 000 and R25 000 each, respectively. Mahlangu and Schoenmaker stand to earn more cash rewards in the coming week when Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa dishes out nearly R5 million to the medallists and their coaches on Friday.
Last month, Buitendag was honoured in her home town of George in the Western Cape by seafood manufacturer Sea Harvest, which gave the star surfer R50 000. Mahlangu said he appreciated the incentives and vowed to remain on the straight and narrow, despite his iconic status as the newest face of the Paralympic movement.
