However, the strongman might miss the opportunity to defend his title if he fails to raise enough funds for the upcoming African Championships.
“I’m requesting financial assistance and support from the corporate world to continue flying the Zimbabwean flag high as much as I would want to,” said Muvingi, who has been in the game for a decade now.
Muvingi has one big motivation ahead of the Championships.
He wants to win gold again and raise funds for his academy in Damofalls, Harare, The strongman also intends to use the academy to fight against drug abuse.
