Robert Marawa spoke to Eddie Mutungutungu-Dingaan Thobela’s childhood friend

The world at large is mourning. Far beyond the boxing rings and the gloves, the world has lost an icon, not just South Africa. And tributes continue to pour in far beyond the African continent. Dingaan Thobela was more than a boxing champion. He was a beacon of hope and inspiration for countless South Africans. Hailing from Chiawelo, Soweto, he rose to prominence through sheer determination and unparalleled skill, capturing the hearts of the nation along the way. His remarkable career saw him clinch three world titles across two weight divisions, etching his name in the records of boxing history. Dingaan Thobela's legacy transcends mere accolades; it embodies the spirit of perseverance and excellence. Beyond his prowess in the ring, Dingaan Thobela was a symbol of unity and pride for South Africa. He brought communities together, bridging divides with his electrifying performances and unwavering commitment to his craft. And today, as we bid farewell to a true icon of South African sports, may his legacy continue to inspire generations to come.
