successes

For the first time he was able to win the Botswana high jump championship in 1996. In 1999 he won the African Youth Championships in Tunis with a height of 2.05 m . He won the championships of southern Africa ("African Southern Region Championships") in 2001, 2003 and 2005. At the 2002 African Athletics Championships in Radès , Tunisia , he was second with 2.10 m, the Algerian Abderrahmane Hammad won with 2.25 m . At the Pan-African Games in Abuja in 2003 , he won the high jump competition with 2.15 m. At the 2004 African Athletics Championships in Brazzaville , he won with 2.17 m. As an indication of how “weak” the high jump competition at the 2004 African Championships was, Kabelo Mmono would not have made it into the top 100 of the 2004 IAAF annual best list with this height . At the African Athletics Championships in 2006 , he could not take part because of a heel injury.

His personal high jump record is 2.20 m, set on May 7, 2005 in Nairobi (at an altitude of more than 1500 meters). This was a Botswana record, but it was surpassed on August 13, 2006 by Kabelo Kgosiemang when he won the 2006 African Championships in Bambous with 2.30 m. Also his 2.15 m in the hall, which he jumped on February 5, 2006 in Cardiff and again in 2008 at the Welsh Championship there, is a Botswana record.
