SA’s first black professional bodybuilder has his sights on becoming Mr Olympia

With his bulging biceps, thick ropes of veins and abs of steel he looks like a superhero ripped straight from the pages of a comic book.

In fact, Sibusiso Kotelo could be called the Hulk of Joburg – a 1,86-m tall, 138-kg block of rock-hard muscle who has his sights set on becoming the best bodybuilder on the planet.

The 31-year-old is no stranger to record setting: he’s the first black South African to get a card from the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, which makes him eligible to compete as a professional.
