He resigned on August 18. “I have nothing bad to say; it’s a matter of growth,” said the 41-year-old administrator, who refused to let the cat out of the bag regarding his new job. ”My last event is September 5 after a tournament in the Free State. “I was to thank CEO Tsholofelo Lejaka, who found me in my worst of times; did not even know me; for the first time when I spoke inside the ring during Macufe, he was impressed with me and took me in. “He’s been there for me. Even when he left Boxing SA, I still kept contact with the man to find out from him how I was doing.” The former professional boxer and amateur standout from Orlando East in Soweto also paid tribute to BSA COO Mandla Ntlanganiso and the entire fraternity in Gauteng for all the support and guidance. He was appointed permanently, effective on August 2 2021. Ramagole and Jaap van Nieuwenhuizen served in an acting capacity from 2017. That was when Boxing SA provincial manager Archie Nyingwa had been suspended by Boxing SA for alleged bad behaviour. He was eventually banned from boxing for 10 years following his disciplinary ruling in 2019. Ramagole’s administrative responsibilities expanded to cover additional provinces — Gauteng, Free State and North West. Sowetan
