Usain Bolt has been touring South Africa and while on his trip he has gushed about how awesome South Africans are, saying, the people have a way of making him feel right at home.

Usain Bolt has been touring South Africa, a first for the famous athlete. Since retiring, he has had more time to visit all the places on his list and South Africa has always been one of them. He has always wanted to connect with African history and visit the places he considers the “motherland”.

“Growing up, my mother always made sure I knew the history of my people, not just Jamaicans but Africans as a whole. When I say Africa is the motherland, it’s not just a cool saying, it’s really from a place of feeling at home here. Although it took me quite some time to finally come and experience it for myself but thanks to my sponsors I am here and it feels like I’m just in time.”

Usain feels that South Africans really make him feel at home and gushed about his feelings to the media. He fell in love with South African music and is also looking forward to the next step in his career. He plans to embark on a Soccer career and has spent time in South Africa at a few key places that link up to his new dream.

“I love the saying, ‘South Africans know how to have fun’ because it’s not like everything is perfect but they know how to find joy in the simplest things.”

We hear you Usain, we do lead a pretty great life despite the struggles and are so happy you see that too! Best of luck for your future career and come back and visit anytime!
