They had never met before Sunday, but Dludla now calls Snyman her"friend".
It was a magical day that saw participants from all over the world descend on KwaZulu-Natal, and it was made even more special by South African heroes Tete Dijana and Gerda Steyn smashing the down run records on their way to epic victories. As the clock was counting down towards the 12-hour cut-off on Sunday, the Kingsmead crowd saw a couple of runners struggling to the finish.

He has done so much for me."He has now completed 19 of the 20 Comrades he has started, with his only failed effort last year's down run when he says he suffered a mental block. "I don't know her. I just met her as a comrade on the race," said Snyman.
