Boxing South Africa (BSA) has announced the suspension of TK Boxing Promotions boss Tshele Kometsi.
The Gauteng Boxing Promoters Association (GBPA) chairperson, who is facing a number of charges, was suspended on Monday.
“Mr Kometsi is already appearing before a disciplinary committee of Boxing SA and his hearing will resume later this month,” a BSA statement said.
Kometsi’s troubles started after his credit card was allegedly used by some BSA officers last year something which led to the suspension of the organisation’s former chief financial officer Thabang Moses in February this year. Moses resigned from BSA last month.
A four minutes and 48 seconds voice note, which made rounds last September, suggested that after a withdrawal was made, the money was lying around at the BSA offices in Hatfield, Pretoria.
Meanwhile, BSA also announced the suspension of boxing trainer Michael Sediane, who is yet to appear before a DC.
“Mr Sediane, in an incident witnessed live on television, assaulted a boxer and will appear before a disciplinary committee of Boxing SA in due course,” a statement from BSA said.
Sediane shocked television viewers when he landed a series of blows to Jeff Magagane last month. This was after Magagane’s fight against his boxer Sithembiso Maduna last month.
