'The truth will be televised!' — Mzansi stars celebrate Caster Semenya's court win

Mzansi swelled with pride after Caster Semenya won her long legal battle against the Swiss Federal Supreme Court.

The court banned Caster from competing in 2019, but her lawsuit against the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) over regulation of her testosterone levels continued.

Though she lost her appeal in 2020, Caster vowed to continue fighting the ruling.

On Tuesday, Europe's top human rights court ruled in favour of the Olympic runner, saying courts in Switzerland should give her another chance to fight a requirement that female athletes with high natural testosterone take drugs to lower it.

Reacting to the news, celebrities took to their social media timelines celebrating Caster's win. 

“The truth will be televised! And the win is worth the wait. To anyone going through a legal nightmare and you are honest... wait it out. Karma will favour you. Bullies don’t stay bullies for too long,” media personality Dineo Ranaka wrote. 

“Amazing News: Congratulations to Caster Semenya for a well deserved win regarding the violation of your human rights,” Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela wrote. 

Media personality Bonang Matheba reflected on how Caster's victory was yet another win for South Africa after Bafana Bafana got through to the semifinals of the Cosafa Cup, among other wins.

“Bafana won. Bokke won. Caster won. Dricus won. Great week to be a Southy,” she wrote.
