Moloi said he started by running the Slow-Mag marathon in Benoni. “I had so much passion for the marathon. I would sit home and watch it on television the whole day. I knew that I would also participate one day,” Moloi said.
“I had to do something after leaving soccer. I then started going to the gym with my colleague. In 2013 I started participating in athletics.”

“It is a matter of participating and grilling yourself in marathons.”
