Strongman wins contest, off to Zambia
However, his trip to Zambia is going to be expensive.
Ruben Du Plessis (22) of Tweni recently qualified for Africa’s Strongest Man and Woman competition to be held in Zambia from October 27 to 29.
This comes after he recently won in the under 80kg men’s novice division in the SA’s Stongest Man contest held at Steineck Lodge in Rustenburg.
“Winning was a big milestone for me as I want to break records and set a new deadlift record at the Africa contest. I’m nervous but it’s all in the Lord’s hands,” he said.
However, his trip to Zambia is going to be expensive.
“I did win 50% off my flights and accommodation, but I worked it out, and it’s going to be more or less R40 000 to R45 000 with the place we are booked in and the day we fly. It’s a three-day comp, but I have to stay there for five days.”
If anyone can help Ruben get to Zambia, contact him on 082 0603911.
