Ssebugwawo is planning big |
By James Bakama
A bodybuilding and fitness show featuring over 100 competitors will be staged in Kampala next month. The inaugural Bob Classic Show will have cash prizes at stake, according to its California-based organiser Robert Ssebugwawo.
The first edition will entirely be for Ugandans. Ssebugwawo said," We shall open our doors to foreign entries in 2010."
The theme of the show will be “Wealth in Fitness,” Ssebugwawo said on phone from the US.
“I want to inspire every Ugandan to engage in regular fitness exercises of any kind, to eat nutritious food every day,” he explained.
Ssebugwawo is working in conjunction with Uganda Bodybuilding and Fitness Association (UBBFA).
Ssebugwawo, who besides bodybuilding, is also an economist and poet, recently opened a UBBFA website that he offered to finance.
“The more fit and healthy Ugandans we have the more Gross Domestic Product Uganda will experience in all sectors of the country hence consistent development,” said Ssebugwawo.
Over the last two decades, Uganda has produced competent bodybuilders.
In 1999, Uganda finished second behind Egypt at the All Africa Bodybuilding Championship.
