Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Lesotho Boxing Association (LeBA) is grieving the death of former boxer, Thandi Ntjona, who died at the weekend at Queen \u2019Mamohato Memorial Hospital in Maseru. According to LeBA\u2019s Public Relations Officer (PRO,) Rethabile \u2018Shana\u2019 Mohale, Ntjona was beaten and stabbed in T\u0161enola, Maseru, last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mohale said Ntjona, who resided at Ha T\u0161iu, Maseru, received a phone call from a friend in T\u0161enola asking him to come over; upon arrival he was beaten and stabbed by five men, including the one who called him to the place.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was called by one of his friends in T\u0161enola late on Saturday where upon arrival a fight ensued between him and the five men who stabled him to death,\u201d Mohale said in an interview with Public Eye yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one who called him was among those five who stabbed him.<\/p>\n

\u201d Mohale said it was not yet known why the boxer was killed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice are still making investigations on why Ntjona was stabbed to death,\u201d he said LeBA PRO said according to the people who saw the incidence, Ntjona died on the spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were told by those who saw the incidence that he died on the spot. T\u0161epong (Queen \u2019Mamohato Memorial Hospital) doctors confirmed his death at 8:00 pm the same day,\u201d Mohale said.<\/p>\n

Ntjona, the former MGB and Best Boxers Club (BBC) boxer represented Lesotho at international level during his time as a boxer. Mohale said among other international competitions, Ntjona participated at the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis death has really affected local boxing fraternity as a whole because apart from the fact that he represented the country at international level he was lately making a comeback to the sport, this time around as one of the coaches for Lithabaneng Boxing Club,\u201d Mohale said.<\/p>\n

Ntjona, Mohale said was also grooming young boxers in his village and was about to register his own club with LeBA. \u201cHe was lately involved in boxing as a coach.<\/p>\n

He used to help Lithabaneng Boxing Club and was also on the process of registering his club he had just established in his village in Ha T\u0161iu. \u201d Mohale further said: \u201cHe was very much loved by young-and-upcoming boxers, who you could see that he had a special way of interacting with them.<\/p>\n

\u201d Ntjona, born in 1983, is the fourth child in a family of six children; four boys and two girls. Both his parents and his elder brother are late. He left behind his wife and two children, both boys.<\/p>\n
