Lejaka's five-year term was to end next year but Peter Ngatane‚ the Boxing SA chairman‚ declined to comment on whether the regulatory body is now operating without a CEO.But Khulile Radu‚ one of BSA's senior board members‚ said: ‘Yes‚ Lejaka wrote to us on Monday informing us about his departure and also explained why he was leaving.
"The pain of leaving a sector you’ve been an integral part of for years will naturally hurt. However‚ knowing that you are leaving without any acrimony or bad blood is also comforting because whenever you reunite with old friends and colleagues‚ it will always be a huge celebration because with lots of the fond memories to reminisce about.Lejaka‚ from Thaba Nchu in the Free State‚ was announced as the CEO in 2016 by then sports minister Fikile Mbalula.
But Lejaka quickly knocked the sport into shape barely three months into the seat and made his presence felt. He made sure that boxers who were owed money after fighting in tournaments got paid.
