South Africa’s former world boxing champion Tete shot dead outside his home

Former world boxing champion Zolani "Last Born" Tete was shot dead outside his ​home in South Africa's Eastern Cape province ‌on Friday, police and the country's sports minister said.

The murder ​of the world champion has also struck a chord in Mdantsane, ‌the ⁠Eastern Cape township that has produced some of South Africa's most successful boxers.

He is best remembered internationally for his 11-second knockout of ⁠fellow ​South African Siboniso Gonya in ​Belfast in November 2017, the fastest stoppage in a world title ​fight.
