Boxer Maitewa’s legacy lives on

The future was looking bright for the young boxer but unfortunately, he passed on due to a brain tumour. He was the 2017 and 2019 national flyweight and bantamweight champion. It has been more than a year since his death leaving behind his mother, who depended a lot on him. His mother still gets teary-eyed when her son is mentioned and could not rein in her emotions during the handover of a tuckshop and house by the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) and Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) this week.

Speaking at the handover, BNSC chief executive officer (CEO), Tuelo Serufho said they expected a lot from Maitewa.
