Penguin Books invite you to the launch of Rose of Soweto – The Dingaan Thobela Story, by Deon Potgieter, on the 24th of this month.
Thobela, the “Rose of Soweto”, has been described as the most naturally talented boxer to ever come out of South Africa. Growing up in Tshiawelo under the watchful eye of his grandmother, this is the story of how a skinny boy from Soweto overcame adversity to become one of the greatest boxers to ever lace a pair of gloves. Starting his career as a raw 17-year-old with a passion for boxing, Dingaan Thobela would go on to become a two-time lightweight world champion by the age of 26.
Come hear more about this boxer’s extraordinary story at what is sure to be a “knockout” launch. We’ll see you there!
