Bodybuilder, Regina Jonga says she quit her job as a maid in
South Africa and returned to Zimbabwe to focus on her sport.
“I am based in Zimbabwe now and I have taken bodybuilding
full-time. I was working as a domestic worker and I stopped in December when I
decided to come home and be with my family. My family is helping in looking
after me since I am looking for a job. I hope I will get something soon because
I can’t keep on relying on my family,” she said.
“My target now is to become a pro and compete overseas. I
am going to compete in bodybuilding until I reach my goals. I hope to get
sponsorship soon as you know that bodybuilding is so expensive with the diet
and supplements especially at this time when I am not working.”
Last week she was back in South Africa where she bagged two
titles at the provincial stage of the National Amateur Body Builders
Association (Nabba) Championships in Gauteng.
“I’m feeling very
happy to have won the Nabba provincials last weekend because the competition
there was very tight. On the 29th of this month it’s Nabba nationals and I am
hoping to do well. If I win, then I will go to compete in California in the US
in November, which is a wonderful opportunity for me,” Jonga told The Sports Hub.
Jonga has already begun preparations for the Nabba national
finals pencilled for September 28 and 29, which will act as a qualifier for WFF
world championships to be held in California on November 3 and 4.
