I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.

I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to.

Maybe subconsciously I feel I was meant to work hard for a living.

To have been selected to represent Team South Africa at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the individual 400m and the 4x400m relay is a real honor and I am so pleased that years of hard work, determination and sacrifice have all come together.

I work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together.

I just try to do the things I feel cause me success. I work hard and do the things that come naturally.
