Botswana-born Atang Makgekgenene became the first Motswana to score a class win on the event, which was organised by the Four Wheel Drive Club of Southern Africa.
Makgekgenene and Buks Carolin were third across the finish line in the Total Jimco and the leading Special Vehicle crew, which was the realisation of a dream for Makgekgenene who, since his childhood, has aspired to being the first Motswana winner in a class of the Toyota 1000 Desert Race.
The thousands of fans gathered at the finish in Gaborone swamped their hero who later had to be spirited away by race officials as the masses celebrated the historic win.

In 1834, Richard Miles, a Motswana schooled at the Cape, travelled, as interpreter, with the Berlin Missionaries to establish a station amongst the Tswana in the interior (they joined Andrew Smith's "Expedition into Central Africa" at Graaff-Reinet).
Nothing is known of Richard Miles's origins, except that he was born a Motswana, and as a youth was in the employ of J.H. Tredgold in Cape Town.
One might speculate that the Philanthropic Society had saved one such Motswana youth from that fate, who then lived for a time in the Tredgold household in Cape Town and benefited by an education, before returning to beyond the frontier to teach and to preach.
