Tandekile Mtangayi
Fitness is my second heartbeat
About Me
Age: 42
Tandekile is a mother, grandmother, and dedicated public emergency communicator in Cape Town. Fitness is more than just a lifestyle for her—it’s her sanctuary, her second heart. She found gym at a crucial turning point in her life, using it as an escape to build strength, discipline, and resilience. After entering the Biogen Face of Fitness competition last year, she’s back with even more determination to inspire others to keep pushing forward.
Recently, she took a bold step by canceling her gym membership and committing to home workouts, investing in her own equipment to prove that fitness isn’t confined to a gym. Her routine focuses on full-body strength, with special emphasis on abs, biceps, glutes, and thighs. She also enjoys hiking and tackling Bishops Steps for an extra challenge. Tandekile is here to show that with the right mindset, you can train anywhere and never lose momentum.
