A zambian by the name of Costern Chiyaba came second, Lyno Muchena came third.

Gondwe’s teammate Sibanda was way short of clinching a possible sixth title as he only managed to finish in two hours 27 minutes and three seconds, six minutes slower than his last year’s two hours 21 minutes and eight seconds finish that won him the race.
The 38-year-old Sibanda who ran in the 10km race at the recent Tanganda marathon, said it was not his day.

In second place was Zambian Costern Chiyaba who finished eight seconds slower than Gondwe in two hours 25 minutes and 44 seconds.
