Hence the bodybuilders who are interested to flex their muscles at Paarl Town Hall, Cape Town on October 7 and 8 should register their interest with the Namibia Natural Bodybuilding Union before the end of September 5.
However, potential competitors will need to be thoroughly assessed by the union and should they meet the SANBA's requirements, only can they be accommodated at the competition.
Last year Atushe Nampweya won the Nucleus Health and Fitness Centre Bodybuilding Championships in Windhoek, the only event of note to have taken place in the country in recent times.
