Tete, who will be buried today, was shot outside his home in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape earlier this month at the age of 38. Lejaka highlighted Tete's vision beyond boxing, noting that he began planning his retirement during the peak of his career and established the Last Born Boxing Promotions to pursue a career in promotion. Despite facing hardships, including a suspension, Tete used his time wisely, according to Lejaka. The funeral service is taking place at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane.",
