Between 1970 and 2010, an area just 45.55 square metres in size in the Eastern Cape produced an astonishing 22 boxing world champions and 50 national champions. That place was in Mdantsane, described as ‘The Mecca of Boxing in South Africa’. Driven by a lifelong fascination with the sport, in Boxers Die Alone Professor Njabulo S. Ndebele applies his intellectual and philosophical mind to this phenomenon. He steps past the modern technology that allows us to stream fights in real time, choosing instead to delve deep into the origin story of a township. The historical roots of displacement and familiar struggles to find a way out of poverty make the Mdantsane boxing legends all the more extraordinary.
