She has triumphed in several other prestigious wheelchair races throughout Zimbabwe, including the celebrated Sunshine City Marathon in 2023.
Stellah has set her sights on achieving global recognition in wheelchair racing. She has been invited to participate in the 42nd Oita International Wheelchair Marathon in Japan and aspires to compete in races across the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Additionally, she has her eyes set on competing in the 2024 Paralympics in France.
