A boxer and MMA champion has become
a great inspiration for many
- After losing his eyesight, he went on with
his life
- He trains students in both sports and
wants to fight again
A boxer and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
champion, who went blind in 2012, has
continued with his career against all odds,
and become an inspiration for many.
Ronald Dlamini got meningitis after a fight in
New Zealand almost four years ago, and lost
his eyesight as a result. For a person who
had become the first black male to ever get
crowned champion at an MMA competition in
2009, becoming blind could have been a good
reason to bury himself into deep depression.
But not Dlamini, who is also known as “Black
Mamba”, and was raised in Maqumbi, in
KwaZulu-Natal. Instead, he decided to go on
and train students in the MMA discipline,
becoming a top-notch motivator.

"He has never lost his passion or hope in the
sport,” his coach, Rhyne Hassan said. He
added they used to train blindfolded, and
that he would never have fathomed this fact
could be some sort of prediction to what
destiny lay for Dlamini.
Hassan comments Dlamini “wants to get back
in the ring and fight.” The former champion
wrote a book called “Light After Blind", with
which he hopes to offer inspiration and hope
to many people.
Dlamini has not stopped at pursuing other
activities as well. He is currently studying
transport and logistics at Umfolozi TVET
College, located in Esikhawini. “I have never
thrown in the towel,” he says.

Posted By
Ondo State Finance Commissioner Wale Akinterinwa said on Sunday that the N4.3billion hidden in a bank account for over 10 years was appropriated for in the 2019 budget. The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state has intervened in the matter, to prevent a face-off between the executive and the legislature over the issue. Akinterinwa said in a statement that there was nothing to hide about the fund discovered in 2018 and lies peddled by mischief makers that there was no appropriation for the money. He said that the N4.3billion was in the 2019 Appropriation Bill passed by the Assembly and signed into law by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. It was gathered that the leadership of the APC in Ondo State had intervened in the matter and found out that some lawmakers, backed by external forces, raised what they termed as a false alarm over the fund. A source said records available to the APC leadership showed that the 2019 appropriation confirmed the cash in the account. The so...
