Former boxing national champion Ndoda Mayende has been gunned down at his home in East London in the Eastern Cape.

It is alleged that Mayende was shot in front of his 11-year-old son, at home in Duncan Village.

The 54-year-old was both a flyweight and junior flyweight boxer.

Mayende was part of the former boxing champions that were under the Buffalo City Metro programme.

BSA seeks independent investigation into the death of undefeated boxer Simiso Buthelezi

Boxing South Africa says an independent review will be done of the death of boxer Simiso Buthelezi. He died in hospital two days after suffering a brain injury in a title fight against Sphelele Mntungwa in Durban earlier this month.

Buthelezi had won all four fights in his career until he challenged Mntungwa for the vacant World Boxing Federation African lightweight title on Sunday.

Acting CEO of Boxing SA, Eric Sithole says they have appointed a medical committee to conduct a medical examination.

“We will do our medical independent review or a medical examination. It will be led by our doctor, doctor Selepe, who’s the chairperson of the advisory committee because we believe that maybe will find something out of that review of that outcome or of that outcome that will be utilised to ensure that we tighten our internal control when it comes to boxing regulations.”

Meanwhile, Sithole remembers Buthelezi as a disciplined and professional boxer of note. “We are saddened by his passing as he was just recently graduated from BSC, this was his fifth fight. He has never lost. He had just recently built his mother a home and in everything he was doing, he was professional and disciplined. So we are saddened and we are calling all those in boxing fraternity, stakeholders, national and international to keep us in their prayers, especially his mother.”
