25-year-old Leighandre Jegels “Baby Lee” was taking the boxing world by storm. She was an incredible athlete, a brilliant varsity student, and much loved by her family and friends. But Leighandre was also being hunted. Her ex-boyfriend, Bulelani Mnyaka was a highly trained special ops police officer and he’d set his target on Leighandre. She had a protection order against him.
Jegels’ mother, who was also shot in the attack, was rushed to an East London hospital.
Jegels’ professional boxing career took off in 2014. Within two years, she went on to become the South African Junior Bantamweight Champion. She had been training for her return to the ring in a junior boxing bantamweight fight.
