“I won three bronze medals in the end. I was able to prepare in such a short period, and I am proud of the results,” he added.
Xolani is already preparing for an international competition which will take place in October.
“I really hope that people will see my achievements and desire to sponsor me. Bodybuilding is my life. I am bodybuilding! I want to make ekasi lami proud of me. Everywhere I go, I represent where I come from,” he said.
