Caster Semenya won the women's 800m final and left SA with immense pride, and some in franctic state.
Semenya’s decisive victory in Rio saw her posting a new national record of 1:55.28.
It was 2.15 am South African time when Semenya ran, but many South Africans either stayed up or woke up to watch her.
Idols judge Somizi Mhlongo, captured the moment on Instagram:
