A fight Maitewa couldn't win

His is a story of endless life struggles, which culminated in a brave but losing fight. Maitewa had to adapt quickly to the challenges of life, as he had to double up as the man of the house at an early age. His mother was unemployed, and he had to fend for the family.

But today, the family has been left without a breadwinner, after Maitewa succumbed to brain tumour on Friday last week. He died at Scottish Livingstone hospital at the age of just 22.
