Premier: Comrades Marathon boosts KZN economy

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube said the 95th Comrades Marathon was a much-needed boost to the province’s economy.

The premier congratulated thousands of athletes at the finish line at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Sunday.

She also thanked spectators for taking part in the 90km race.

Dube-Ncube said the province was still limping following April’s devastating floods and last July’s unrest.

“This event will bring millions into the local economy and ensure the stimulation of the different sectors of the economy,” said the premier’s spokesperson Ndabezinhle Sibiya.
