Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The late Ts\u030cosane Boxing Club coach Chaka Moekoa, who died a fortnight ago aged 48, will be late to rest at Ha Ts\u030cosane, Maseru, this Saturday. Moekoa was shot dead at night outside his home in the same village on February 9 by unknown assailants, just after he returned from training.<\/p>\n

His death shocked not only the local boxing fraternity and his Ha Ts\u030cosane neighbours but the entire sporting nation. He will be remembered for his massive contribution to the development of the sports in Lesotho over the years he has served local boxing.<\/p>\n

A former boxer himself, Moekoa spent his entire life producing boxers after he hung up his boxing gloves. Moekoa produced some of this country\u2019s best boxing gems such the late Mosolesa \u2018Fire\u2019 Tsie, Sephula Letuka, Sebusiso Keketsi, Tello Moejane, Moses Kopo and Arena Pakela, amongst others.<\/p>\n

Keketsi, who is now Lesotho\u2019s highly qualified boxing coach, says he knew Moekoa since his teenage years while the mentor was still a competitive boxer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew him even before I could join the club (T\u0161osane Boxing Club), as a very young boy,\u201d says Keketsi.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe that\u2019s because we were staying very close to each other, with just a fence between our homes.<\/p>\n

\u201d When Moekoa was still boxing competitively, Keketsi recalls, he had not even dreamt of becoming a boxer himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were still young when he was a boxer and I joined the sport very late when he retired to become a coach, that is when I joined T\u0161osane Boxing Club and he started a career in coaching.<\/p>\n

There were other coaches at the club but his presence was felt whenever he was around. \u201d That was until 1996 when Keketsi left T\u0161osane Boxing Club to join Best Boxers Club (BBC).<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we still met regularly as we were neighbours, and we later worked together beginning 2007\/08 when I also ventured into coaching.<\/p>\n

We worked together to prepare the team that was going to represent Lesotho at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, even though we ended up not making a show at the games as coaches because of intense internal politics.<\/p>\n

\u201d Keketsi further says: \u201cBut we continued to work together even though we were coaching different clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201d Moekoa and Keketsi\u2019s relationship improved when the latter became a national boxing coach, the main reason being the fact that some of the boxers who made it to the national were mentored by Moekoa at club level.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I was in charge as national coach you would find that most of the boxers in the national team were from his club, and since there wasn\u2019t enough time for those boxers to prepare with the national team it became very easy for me as we normally agreed on training programmes for his boxers to follow.<\/p>\n

\u201d Moekoa and Keketsi also usually met at an administrative level of the Ts\u030cosane Boxing Club since it is a community club.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from that, we used to meet at an administration level of the Ts\u030cosane Boxing Club since it is a community club, and as the coach he was also the back-bone of the club.<\/p>\n

He was currently the one who gave guidance in administration in general, as well as a guidance of how to work when it was time for boxing elections. \u201d Incidentally, Moekoa became one of the delegation that negotiated lobola for Keketsi in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not from my family but the relationship we had with him was amazing, so much that when I decided to get married in 2011, he was the only who came from outside (Keketsi\u2019s family) to form part of the delegation who negotiated my lobola.<\/p>\n

\u201d Keketsi further said: \u201cEven his wife was staying with us before he could marry her, as if she was our family member.<\/p>\n

\u201d Moekoa was not the kind of person to easily convince. Keketsi says one needed to prove beyond doubt, and with facts, whatever was argued. \u201cComing to his life in general, he was very stubborn.<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t just believe what you were telling him until you convinced him with facts. When you said something was white, he would challenge you to prove to him that it was indeed white and not black.<\/p>\n

\u201d Keketsi says Moekoa\u2019s character, however, worked for him in several scenarios.<\/p>\n

Keketsi further said: \u201cSo the situation was very tense when we left the club (Ts\u030cosane Boxing Club) as there wasn\u2019t any formal negotiations (between BBC and their former club) but because of his character of being stubborn he continued producing better boxers than those who left and my club (BBC) again stolen his boxers.<\/p>\n

\u201d Keketsi said still, Moekoa could not give up boxing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut still he died as a boxing coach. He didn\u2019t give up; he didn\u2019t be demotivated but continued to mentor upcoming boxers.<\/p>\n

Currently some of his boxers such like Thabo Molefe competed at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and was knocked out in the quarter-finals, just step away from winning a medal.<\/p>\n

We also have Arena Pakela who in 2019 made his first appearance at the Zone 4 championship with the senior team and was the only local boxer who came home with a gold medal from the games.<\/p>\n

\u201d<\/p>\n

Keketsi, however, laments that the boxing fraternity as a whole as well as entire country have never recognized Moekoa for the efforts he made for the development of boxing in Lesotho.<\/p>\n

Phello Sofe, one of Lesotho\u2019s boxing administrators remembers Moekoa as always good in boxing. \u201cHe was a long-standing boxing coach and an experienced mentor,\u201d said Sofe.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was always good even when he was still a competitive boxer.<\/p>\n

\u201d Sofe reiterates that Moekoa did a good job as a boxer and as a coach. He says Moekoa was the kind of person who would go to extremes when he wanted something to happen, \u201che would do anything to achieve it.<\/p>\n

\u201d \u201cHe was that kind of a person, and his boxers respected him very much for that.<\/p>\n

\u201d Sofe adds that: \u201cWhen he wanted a certain boxer to qualify for an international competition he would anything to help him achieve that.<\/p>\n

\u201d Moekoa\u2019s death, Sofe says, is a great loss for boxing in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe death of someone like Chaka Moekoa is a great loss for boxing and I don\u2019t believe we would find someone like him.<\/p>\n

\u201d For his part, President of the Lesotho Boxing Association (LeBA), Katiso Ts\u030cenoli, says he first knew Moekoa when he was a competitive boxer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI began to know him while I was still a boxer many years ago, and he was already a coach of Ts\u030cosane Boxing Club,\u201dsaid Ts\u030cenoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I began to know him in person in 2006 for he was our coach (national boxing coach) during the Melbourne Commonwealth Games and he was a good coach.<\/p>\n

\u201d Moekoa came home with a silver medal from the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, won by Moses Kopo.<\/p>\n

Ts\u030cenoli continues that Moekoa was also a very good boxing coach and, the reason he managed to produce good boxers at Ts\u030cosane Boxing Club over the years.<\/p>\n

Former LeBA president, Dr Makhetha Mosotho, remembers the late coach for his ability to nurture raw talent. \u201cI found Chaka Moekoa already in boxing (when he joined the sport) and he was already an experienced coach,\u201d said Mosotho.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a very good mentor and was pursuant. But what I liked most about him was to stand for the truth in many things.<\/p>\n

\u201d Mosotho further said: \u201cApart from that, he was one of the coaches who produced best boxers in this country, and who most of them became the champions.<\/p>\n

\u201d Moekoa leaves behind his wife \u2019Mamohapi and two children, Mohapi and Makhala.<\/p>\n
