Biogen South Africa is proud to announce its partnership with South African sprinting sensation, Akani Simbine.
As one of the fastest men in the world and a symbol of dedication, discipline, and relentless pursuit of excellence, Akani embodies the very essence of what Biogen stands for.
A multiple-time national champion, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, and Olympic silver medalist, Akani’s journey to the top has been built on consistency, resilience, and an unyielding drive to push limits. It’s this mindset that makes him the perfect addition to the Biogen family as we continue to support athletes who inspire through action.
“I’ve always believed in giving my best, both on and off the track. Partnering with Biogen, a brand that shares my commitment to high performance and quality, is an exciting step in my journey. I look forward to working together to inspire others to chase their goals with everything they’ve got,” says Simbine.
At Biogen, we understand that peak performance is not just about talent—it’s about the small, daily efforts that fuel big achievements. Whether it’s through tested and trusted sports nutrition or a commitment to empowering athletes at all levels, we are proud to support those who continually raise the bar.
Beyond his achievements on the track, Akani is dedicated to uplifting young athletes through the Akani Simbine Foundation, which provides mentorship, training support, and opportunities for aspiring sprinters in South Africa. His passion for giving back aligns with Biogen’s mission to support not just elite athletes, but also the future stars of tomorrow.
“Akani is more than an athlete; he’s a role model, a leader, and an inspiration to the next generation of South African sports stars. His work ethic, discipline, and high-performance mentality, coupled with a refreshing humility and strong love for our country, make him an ideal ambassador for Biogen. We are honoured to stand beside him on his journey to even greater heights,” says Brandon Fairweather, Brand Manager at Biogen South Africa.
As Akani sets his sights on future championships, Biogen will be right there with him, fuelling every stride, every race, and every defining moment.
This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both Biogen and Akani Simbine. Together, we’re proving that when you show up, put in the work, and trust the process, you will achieve your best!
