In his words: ‘‘I recognised the beauty of bodybuilding and subsequently started to work out in 2018. Over the last few years, people in my neighbourhood have acknowledged and commended the tremendous changes in my physique, and this has helped my self-confidence a lot. I have a very deep passion for the sport and count Ronnie Coleman as my idol. I would like to be an inspiration to others, just as he was to me. Hopefully my body will soon reach a level of development where I can start to think of going on stage.’’
