Gifted young boxer Zweli Dlamini of Matsapha won on referee stops the contest
(RSC) against Khanya Shongwe of Correctional Service in round two after the
referee had counted for Khanya two, times in the first round.  In round two
Zweli continued to dominate with hooks to the body and the referee had to count
two times for Khanya and so it was obvious that the referee had to protect him.
Thabiso Dlamini, also from Matsapha, in the 69kg, also won on RSC. The referee
stopped the contest in round two against Thamie of Zebras Force Boxing Club, who
was competing for the first with Thabiso in the elite category.
