Hundreds of friends, fans and colleagues, along with members of the family gathered at the Dlamini Multipurpose Centre in Soweto to pay their final respects to legendary boxer Dingaan 'The Rose of Soweto' Thobela.
Arguably one of the most gifted boxers of his generation and a unifying symbol in the country, Thobela, a three-time world champion, passed away in Johannesburg last week, at age 57, after battling an unconfirmed illness.
Thobela won the WBO and WBA in lightweight and the WBC super-middleweight to become the only South African boxer to have the three major world titles.
