Lofo's story...

Lofo started playing tennis at the age of 8 and after more than 10 years, he shares the same view - he simply loves the game!

His game really started developing when he came to the ITF/SATA Training Centre in Pretoria, where he spent 3 years from 2004 - 2006 and during this time he also completed his senior certificate examination.

After leaving South Africa he was based at a Spanish Tennis Academy during 2007, from where he moved to France and is currently training with a French coach.

Lofo got saved at the age of 14 through reading the Bible and his association with other believers and serves as an Ambassador for Lifestyle C abroad.
