The 29-year-old distance runner has raked in a long list of South African titles on the track and the road over the last five years.
This season, however, Xaba has been unstoppable, taking her career to another level.
During a spectacular 2024 campaign, Xaba won four national titles over various distances.
In addition, she clipped one second off the long-standing SA 10km record held by Elana Meyer when she clocked 32:12 at the Absa Run Your City race in Durban in July, and she went on to win the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon last month in 2:22:22, chopping nearly two minutes off Gerda Steyn's national record on her 42km debut.
