Where are you originally from?
I was born in Nkandla but moved to Pinetown where I work.
What sparked your interest in bodybuilding?
I decided to compete at the age of 40 after watching my first show. Back then I had no idea that I would compete internationally one day and be afforded the opportunity to inspire others.
Isn’t it supposed to be harder when you get older?
