Nationwide Holiday Declared in Botswana Following Athletics Victory The country has declared 29 September a public holiday to celebrate its men’s 4x400m relay team’s gold at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo—the first African nation to win the event. President Duma Boko hailed the triumph as a "historic African win" after the team beat the US in a rain-soaked final, with South Africa taking bronze. The country finished fifth overall with its best-ever medal tally: two golds, one silver, and a bronze.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
