Around this period Tornado was still operating the IWF training camp and he tutored many of this generation's top professional wrestlers in South Africa.

He lost the WWP World Heavyweight Championship after a multi-year reign to newcomer Dameon Duke, who is now signed to WWE.

He won the WWP World Tag Team Championship for the second time in February 2009, subsequently losing it to The French Connection in September of that same year.

On July 11, 2009, in front of another record crowd of 20,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tornado defeated Dameon Duke to win the vacant WWP World Heavyweight Title, becoming a 2-time champion.

Tornado had a dominant run on 100% De Dana Dan, a television show airing nationally in India on Colours TV.
