What was SA’s medal target for the games?

There was no target.
From one Paralympic legend to another in the making. Great Britain’s Richard Whitehead proved to be as classy in defeat as he has been in victory over the years when he took off his name pinned to his vest and turned to Ntando Mahlangu. “Let’s swap, Ntando. A changing of the guard.” Whitehead’s gesture came in the mixed zone at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium where minutes earlier the South African 19-year-old had hunted down the two-time men’s 200m (T61) Paralympic gold medallist and four-time world champion and beat him to the line, to win in 23.59sec and pick up South Africa’s sixth medal of these Games, and fourth gold. It was also Mahlangu’s second gold after he had won the long jump six nights earlier. It was a reversal of the gold and silver medal from the Rio 2016 Games when Ntando had exploded onto the scene as a 14-year-old.
