HAKEEM BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER AT MR ZIMBABWE

Fitness fanatic, Hakeem Mandaza, failed to make the grade at the Mr Zimbabwe Bodybuilding competition held at the weekend. In fact he was blown out of the water. He came a distant fourth.

The Mr Zimbabwe Bodybuilding crown was snatched by Champion Chiendaramwano who is based in Botswana. He is also the Mr Botswana. The 27-year old hulk on Saturday night became the 15th man to win the Mr Zimbabwe title when the contest returned to the radar after a five-year absence.

For Hakeem, it is back to the gym. But he did have a surprise though when his lover, musician, Cleo, came to support him. And he was much appreciative.

"thanx for ur support Team Hakeem, didn't win e big one but did get a medal - and I had the most beautiful surprise...my girl Cleo Ice Queen flew into Zim to support me....so I won the biggest prize," he said.
