Muscle man, Gontse Sechele, has returned from the United States where he won a silver medal in the Mr Universe World Fitness Federation (WFF) title.

Gontse Sechele scooped the second position in the Super Body Men Class 2 category.

He said in an interview that he had now qualified for the world championship scheduled for Ireland in November. 

The jubilant Sechele said his flight back home was full of admirers who kept asking him for his autograph something he was not used to. 

He thanked those who tood by him. His sponsors included Botswana Tourism Organisation, Choppies, Metal Testing Services, Bokone Reticulate Electrical Services, Energym Health Studio, Citizen Design, MK Moesi And Company, Marianne and Joseph Puvimanasinghe and his mentor, Thea Khama.  

He will start to prepare for the world championship, but he was still to engage the services of his South African coach and body builder, John Leslie.

In 2012, Sechele came fourth at the Mr Africa title in Zimbabwe, Mr Universe WFF in Korea where he was awarded third place and 2015 World Championships in South Africa where he came in third.  ENDS
