Former world boxing champion, Zolani “Last Born” Tete, was fatally shot in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape province, South Africa. The former champion, who held world titles in two weight categories, was 38 years old when the serious incident occurred last Friday evening.

The woman who was with him was also shot multiple times and was subsequently transported to the hospital for medical care. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The incident has prompted a police investigation to determine the motive and identify the assailants responsible for the attack on the former world champion.
The details provided by law enforcement indicate that the confrontation was sudden and involved multiple assailants targeting both Tete and his companion.
