Yusuf Omar - the reporter referred to as "tenacious Omar" by anchor Iman Rappetti - showed viewers of the 24-hour news channel how he put a bandage on his nipple, and then ran the 2013 Comrades Marathon's 87 kilometres from Durban after which he filed a story.
Last seen running on television when he was jogging in just a red speedo for a charitable cause in a fun run in November last year, Yusuf Omar this time around plastered bandages over his sensitive bits to run the world famous marathon with his race number G32595.
He also video clips along the way, and completed the race in which fellow eNCA'er Derek van Dam, the eNCA's chief weather man, also took part.
"It may look funny putting a bandage on my nipple but we're going to run on average a 100 000 steps. So that kind of friction means that bleeding nipples are no laughing matter," said Yusuf Omar.
"For this race you need strong legs, a good heart and you have to be a litte crazy. Was it painful? Absolutely. But I'll be back next year," said Yusuf Omar. He did his closer to camera in Pietermaritzburg lying in the ground, holding up his medals.
