South Africans are coming together to celebrate Caster Semenya after Nike released a new motivational video about the Olympic athlete’s early life.

“It doesn’t matter what you look like or where you are from. What matters is that you have that fire in you to chase your dreams,” the company tweeted along with the video on Sunday.

Titled “Birthplace of Dreams”, the video didn’t take long to inspire South Africans, who took to Twitter to express their admiration for the sports star.

Some fans also quoted their favourite moments from the video as well.

The video promoting self-love and acceptance comes after the IAAF ruled earlier this year that Caster Semenya would have to take drugs to suppress her natural hormones in order to compete against other women.
