\u201cThe President rewarded all medalists in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics games with cars. I also won an international competition and I need to be rewarded,\u201d Mufuma said .<\/p>\n

Athletes Joshua Cheptegei, Jacob Kiplimo and Peruth Chemutai were each rewarded with a car after bagging medals in the 2020 Olympics.<\/p>\n

Mufuma becomes the first Ugandan and African to win the prestigious competition.<\/p>\n

Mr Wilson Mufuma, Ethan\u2019s father, said it would be bad if his son is not rewarded.<\/p>\n
