FRANCISTOWN: Over 1,000 mourners gathered at Chedu Choga community hall on Saturday to bid farewell to fallen welterweight boxer, Herbert Nkabiti.

Also present at the ‘The Hit Man’s funeral was Botswana’s High Commissioner to Zimbabwe and former Botswana Defence Force (BDF) Commander, Matshwenyego Fischer who spoke briefly at the funeral. Nkabiti worked at BDF during Fischer’s reign. Manuel Fernandez, Nkabiti’s South African coach was also in attendance.

Nkabiti died last week in South Africa after sustaining head injuries in a professional fight against South African boxer, Willis Baloyi. He was laid to rest at Gerald Estates cemetery.  Several speakers described Nkabiti as a true embodiment of humility, determination and honesty.
