The answer is simple. You have to look no further than Mr Paul Tshehla, who is regarded as an oracle of boxing in the country. Tshehla has a photographic memory of boxing events of the last 47 years and has an eye of sporting talent from a mile. It was only logical that Tibuya Emasisweni spoke to him about the current state of the sport and the Mpumalanga Boxing Indaba. “I am happy the way the Boxing Indaba went,” he told the magazine. According to him, the gathering was a great way to start the revival of the sport.

Mpumalanga held Middleweight Champion. its indaba in the same month in eMalahleni. It was here that luminaries of the sport such as Tshehla Tshehla, who has been involved in boxing discussed Regulatory Framework for Boxing; since 1966, is changing things around one Marketing and Promotions; the Development of tournament at a time.

He described them as a launch pad the following questions: Why there is no licensed for the next big star.

Nicknamed “The Voice”, Musa Sukwene made history when he became the first contestant ever from Mpumalanga to win the competition. Having previously said that music is his medicine, Musa went on to mend many broken hearts with his beyond perfect renditions of some adored classics. Musa went on to put his fans in a trance when he performed during his Homecoming ceremony held in his hometown, eMalahleni. With the DCSR and eMalahleni municipality on tow, a convoy ushered Sukwene from his home, through KwaGuqa township where he brought Musa singing the song “Via Orlando” at the Idols contest one young lady to tears after seeing him in the flesh.
