In 2006 I was the team manager for the South African team that have participate in the WPF Mr & Ms Universe in France. In 2007 I have hosted the WPF Universe here in South Africa, according to the WPF Europe president it was the best hosted univese for the last 16 years. In 2008 I was the chief marshall on the Mr & Ms Universe also in France.
I am also the biggest bodybuilding promoter her in South Africa. I have 3 national shows that i hoste every year with +/- 150 to 200 entries in each championship for the last 10 years.
I am very well known amongst the athletes as well as all the other bodybuilding federations here in South Africa. I am well respected by the athletes as well as committee members form the different federations.
I have done my homework on your federation and have decided that the WFF and WBBF is a far better federation to be part off. I am working for the sport of bodybuilding and fitness and the athletes deserive the best and I think WFF and WBBF is the best
for the athletes her in South Africa.
I am a personal trainer and own my own gym: Protea Health & Fitness Club. I have already trained 7 world champs. My wife is a high school teacher and I have 3 sons: Donovan (12), Lukas (10) and TJ (8). My wife is my right hand not only in the gym but also in the sport of bodybuilding and fitness.

Our country consist out of 9 provinces. 8th of our provinces are already part of WFF & WBBF. Each of the provinces host a provincial championship on which they select a team to represent them on our national championship.
At the national championship we select a team to represent South Africa on the universe/world championship.
I was already in contact with Brian and he is going to be the chairman for our Eastern Cape province and he will also be part of the national executive committee.
I have also set up a website for South Africa that will give our athletes more info about WFF and WBBF. The website will be up and going no later than friday the 16th Jan. The website address is going to be

DEAR SIR,
FIRST I MUST INFORM YOU THAT I AM WRITING FROM DHAKA, BANGLADESH.
WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDED OUR MEETING.
THE MATTERS OF WFF IN SRI LANKA ARE ALL PLANTED IN FIRM GROUND AND MOVING ON.
THIS IS ALL SET.
IN DHAKA THE DIRECTORS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT A FUTURE CONFLICT WITH THE EXISTING IFBB BODYBUILDING FEDERATION, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY HAVE BUILT A STELLAR REPUTATION.
I INFORMED THEM THAT THE WFF WILL HAVE ITS OWN TEAMS AND HAVE GYMS AS MEMBERS.
AS SUCH, WE ARE FREE TO ORGANIZE CONTESTS WITH THE MEMBERS.
THE PUBLIC IS MOST WELCOME.
OF COURSE OUR IDEA IS TO DO IT BETTER THAN THE EXISTING ONE IFBB THAT, WITHIN A VERY SHORT TIME, THE NATIONAL FEDERATION MOVES OVER.
SO NOW WE ARE SETTING UP THE ORGANIZATION.
THIS IS A GREAT START.
WE NOW HAVE TWO IN TWO COUNTIRES.
I AM WORKING ON MALDIVES.
HOPE THIS WAS OKAY FOR YOU,
BEST RGDS,
INDUNIL R.RAJAKARUNA
