*Akani Simbine Named African Athlete of the Month for April 2025*
May 15, 2025 – Africa Sports Ventures Group (ASVG) is proud to announce Akani Simbine, South African sprinting sensation, as the African Athlete of the Month for April 2025, following his groundbreaking performances and continued dominance in global athletics.
Simbine made headlines once again by becoming the first athlete in history to run sub-10 seconds in the 100 meters for 11 consecutive years, a remarkable feat that surpasses the legendary Usain Bolt’s record of 10 years. His 9.90-second run at the Botswana Grand Prix in March, followed by a 9.99-second gold-medal performance at the Xiamen Diamond League in April, reaffirmed his elite status as one of the world’s top sprinters.
Simbine’s achievements in 2025 continue to inspire a new generation of athletes across the continent and serve as a testament to Africa’s growing presence in global sprinting.
