Comrades Marathon three-time champion Tete Dijana and former winner Edward Mothibi have dismissed suggestions that they joined Hollywood Athletic Club for money, saying they are there for growth.
Mothibi and Dijana were unveiled as the new Hollywood AC elite athletes on Thursday in Durban after they left the Nedbank Running Club earlier this week.
According to Nedbank Club manager Nick Bester, the split was driven by financial considerations, with both athletes requesting monthly retainers beyond what the club could sustainably offer.
