This was confirmed yesterday by BSA acting director of operations Mncedisi Ngqumba. It looked like it was not going to continue as boxers and trainers tested positive for Covid-19. The scary part was when opponents Ricardo Malajika and Sabelo Ngebinyana, who were to fight for the WBA Pan African title, both tested positive after the pre-fight medical on Wednesday.
It all began when Brandon Thysse, his trainers Damien Durandt and Andson Kazembe were the first to test positive for Covid-19. Thysse was to defend the WBA Pan African junior-middleweight title against Roarke Knapp. Their fight – like the matchup between Malajika and Ngebinyana – was a rematch. BSA provincial manager Lehlohonolo Ramagole said he was worried about the increasing number of Covid-19 cases in boxing. Asked what safety plan he has for tomorrow night, since he will be welcoming diners, he said: “I spoke to the organisers and requested a special entry for boxers and also that entry must be kept far away from the fans.

Gauteng sees rapid rise in Covid-19 infections, younger people hospitalisedGauteng is seeing a dramatic increase in Covid-19 infections but there have been fewer hospitalisations and deaths, Dr Mary Kawanga of the premier’s advisory committee on Covid-19 said. Just learned this morning that the two past Covid19 variants are called DELTA and OMICRON. When unscrambled, these two words mean - MEDIA CONTROL. So, I'm not surprised why you are so hellbent on pushing vaccinations. You are part of the problem. Drugs that can help treat covid! Could it be possible that we already have some herd immunity?
