LUSAKA-(MaraviPost)-Malawi’s bodybuilding scene received a boost as Christopher Mwakabanga claimed the gold medal in the Junior category at the World Fitness Federation (WFF) Africa Championship in Lusaka, Zambia.

Mwakabanga’s impressive performance earned him top spot, while Bruce John secured fourth place in the Men’s Physique Category among 20 athletes.

According to Aaron Simwaka, General Secretary of the Bodybuilding and Fitness Association of Malawi (BFAM), the competition provided valuable exposure for Malawian athletes on the international stage.

“Both athletes performed impressively, and the exposure they gained competing against Africa’s best will greatly enhance their development,” Simwaka said.

The event also featured a guest posing routine by Zacheus Phiri, former WFF African Championship winner and newly inaugurated President of WFF Malawi, who energized the crowd with his performance.
