Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Industry mourns death of BSA executive, who was reportedly shot dead by assailants in his driveway in Pretoria West<\/p>\n

Boxing South Africa (BSA) is mourning the tragic loss of its CFO Kenneth Mamosadi, who was gunned down in Pretoria on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

BSA CEO Mandla Ntlanganiso described Mamosadi\u2019s killing as ruthless. Mamosadi, 38, was reported to have been shot dead by assailants in his driveway in Pretoria West.\u201cTragically, his life was taken and his only reported belonging stolen was his cellphone,\u201d Ntlanganiso said on Monday. \u201cThis cowardly act has robbed us of a valued member of our community and a dear friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamosadi was appointed as BSA\u2019s CFO by the previous board last year. Originally from Limpopo, he had been BSA\u2019s finance manager since 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenneth was a pillar of strength, renowned for his gentle demeanour and his unwavering dedication to boxing,\u201d Ntlanganiso said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis senseless and brutal murder has left us all shocked and grieving. We urge law enforcement agencies to swiftly bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice.\u201cThe family implores the South African Police Service and government to leave no stone unturned in their investigations to uncover the motive behind this senseless act of violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ntlanganiso said he met with the bereaved family yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoxing SA extends its deepest condolences to the Mamosadi family, friends, colleagues, and all who were touched by Kenneth\u2019s kindness and generosity. We stand together in solidarity during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in power, Kenny, your legacy will live in our hearts forever, inspiring us to strive for excellence and kindness in what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

BSA Gauteng provincial manager, Lehohonolo Ramagole, who worked with Mamosadi since 2018, described his late colleague as a peaceful individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loved peace, even when there were issues among colleagues, he would initiate peace,\u201d he said.\u201cIn all the time I worked with him, he never raised his voice. He was a brother to everybody, any staff member who had problems, even financially, Kenny would do his best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in that situation. I started at Boxing SA as an intern and Kenny would buy lunch for me. He is missed already.\u201d<\/p>\n
