Family devastated by boxer’s sudden death
NCEBA DLADLA
T
HE puzzling death last week of former KwaNobuhle professional boxer, Khuselekie Gada, has left his family devastated.
They have ‘Acres of Talent’
Gada, 34, a straw-weight boxer who dedicated his time to training young boxers in the township, collapsed while hitting a punching bag at the gym early last week. His asthmatic mother, Stella Gada, 76, collapsed on hearing the news and was admitted to the Cuyler Hospital in Uitenhage on Monday afternoon. She asked the former boxer’s older sister, Nokuzola Mahlahla, 57, on Friday to talk to Express Indaba as she was still feeling weak. “My mother loved Khuselekile very much. She has not been herself since the news of his passing in this most unusual of ways. We are devastated,” a sobbing Nokuzola said. She said Gada had been a teetotaller who loved training and especially running. He had never complained of anything. She said she had been shocked when she was given the news that her younger brother had been rushed to hospital after falling while hitting the punching bag.
The region has lost a great young man. MTHUNZI MAPITIZA, NELSON MANDELA BAY BOXING SOUTH AFRICA SERVICE PROVIDER

“The doctors moved him to Provincial and then to Livingstone Hospital on the same night,” said Nokuzola, a school teacher, adding that at this time Gada had been vomiting profusely.
