At just 19, Bayanda Walaza is already one of South Africa’s most electrifying young sprinters and a proud PUMA athlete. With sub-10s on the clock and medals on the global stage, he’s proving he’s not just running races, but racing toward history.
In this episode of Go Wild, Bayanda opens up about what it really takes to run fast — the sacrifices, the drive, and why he’ll always choose medals over records. More than that, he shares his vision of inspiring young Africans to trust their countries, their coaches, and themselves.
Conversation was inspiring, fun and full of the energy, making Bayanda truly the one to watch!
