The ANC Youth League on Tuesday gave 800m gold medal winner
Caster Semenya R60 000 to "relax".
Mbulaeni Mulaudzi, who won gold for winning the 800m race at the
International Amateur Athletics Federation's World Championships in
Berlin would get R40 000 from the league, its president Julius
Malema told a press briefing at OR Tambo International Airport in
Johannesburg.
Long jump silver medallist Khotso Mokoena would get R25 000.
Big welcome for Team SA
In a statement the league said it would start a "vigorous
campaign" to demand an unconditional apology from international
athletics body, the IAAF, and those it claimed were responsible for
"attempts to humiliate" Semenya.
ANC MP Winnie Madikizela-Mandela told the briefing nobody would
be allowed to conduct a gender test on Semenya.
"They can stuff their insults, this is our little girl and
nobody is going to perform any test on her."
The International Association of Athletics Federations announced
last week that Semenya would have to undergo a series of gender
verification tests.
Semenya won the 800m in 1minute 55.45 seconds, the world's best
this year.
