Mr Makwala is a national hero who has on numerous occasions brought home medals from world athletic competitions, even at times when doing so did not seem attainable. Affectionately known as Badman, Mr Makwala is a national icon who has also been honoured by the Botswana Government which is constructing a sports complex in Tutume to be named after him. The Government has further bestowed him with a Presidential Certificate of Honour (PCH), which is one of the highest honours given by the country’s highest office; the presidency. Following his relay team’s spectacular performance at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, over the weekend, Mr Makwala announced his imminent retirement from the tracks, meaning that this was his last appearance at the Olympics.
