Many rallied together in support believing that Xolani had rightfully earned himself a medal (there has since been confusion from the Comrades Marathon Association media group) We respect their every decision, but if you still believe that Xolani deserves recognition for his monumental achievement , then we encourage you to stand with us and sign this petition .We want to hand over as many signatures as possible to see if we can persuade the CMA to award Xolani and Hein with The Spirit of Comrades award .
