Background
1980 – 2012 Winning
Championships
As well as competitive racing I have competed
in body building competitions. Like biking, this is
a sport which requires incredible dedication and
willpower along with hours of physical training
and a rigorous diet.
In 1996, I competed in the Mr Zambia competition,
which I won. As a result of this, I was offered the
opportunity to take part in the Mr Universe
competition, which I declined due to my
desire to return to my first love,
motorbike racing.

Mission and Goal
•
As alluded to earlier the Dakar event truly challenges man and machine. Only the
adventurous and skilled need apply. This coupled with its tradition and history makes
it one of the most prominent motor sport events in the world.
•
My goal is simple – to compete in and complete the Dakar as global ambassador for
Zambian Motor Sport and indeed Zambia as a whole.
•
In order to achieve this I will have to raise an absolute minimum of USD 100,000.
•
This is where you could assist, and in exchange for your financial or product support I
will not only promise to work my hardest to do my best and to succeed, but I will also
offer you the following package of personal benefits;
•
Any monies raised over and above our direct costs will be donated to the flyspec
charity. I have personal experience of their brilliant work with
them having helped my son Thomas.

Conclusion
This year is an ideal time
for me to enter the Dakar.
I am coming off one of my
most successful seasons ever. This past year has
helped encourage me and if I dare say has made me
more enthusiastic then ever before. The Dakar event
requires a level of maturity and a level head, and I feel
that I am at the pinnacle of my career. I am sure with my
hard work and support from my sponsors and the Southern African
off road racing community I can make this coming season
even better, culminating in the 2013 Dakar
