Award-winning South African jazz and Afro-pop singer Judith Sephuma is celebrating after completing her first HYROX race in Johannesburg this past weekend.
“I did it. My 1st HYROX and definitely not my last.
@underarmour Flow (1st series) was my best choice to run in. Well balanced. The 1000 SkiErg and 100 Wall Balls were too much fun. Thanks to my team, we did well.
Thank you @hyroxsa,” she wrote.

The “Mme Motswadi” hitmaker has been on an inspiring fitness journey since 2015.
Sephuma’s wellness journey has included swimming, gym training, running, boxing, and healthy eating. She regularly shares her lifestyle changes and workout routines on social media.
In 2017, Sephuma revealed that her commitment to a healthier lifestyle followed a serious health scare in 2015, when she was admitted to hospital and spent time in the ICU due to complications related to high blood pressure.
She said she had initially been treated for what she thought was heartburn before doctors discovered she had high blood pressure, which had caused her organs to enlarge.
Other celebrities who have taken part in the popular fitness challenge include actress Thando Thabethe, TV presenter Ayanda MVP, Big Brother Mzansi star Sinaye Kotobe, doctor and social media personality Nokukhanya Khanyile-Lenake, and former The River actor Unathi Mkhize.
