“It is a big event and I was preparing for it for a while and I am happy it is coming while I am in good shape.
“My confidence is high and I look forward to tough competition which I am sure I will be able to overcome,” said Jonga.
The men’s category has Jonga’s Zimbabwean counterpart Isaac “Sugar” Chimuchenga as the defending champion having won the contest in 2013 before it took a sabbatical last year.
Jonga will be joined by several other local athletes who will contest in different categories and they will include Mr Zimbabwe middleweight champion Chimuchenga and Ndumiso Dhlodhlo, the Mr Zimbabe 2015 light heavy weight champion.
