Kakololo and Kandala beef heats up

People can expect a bloody revenge fight when Nathaniel Kakololo and Matheus Kandala fight for the Salute Academy at the Otji entertainment festival. For the second time this month, people had to separate the two boxers yesterday to avoid a brawl during a face-off. Kandala is still hurt over the fight in which interim national featherweight champion Kakololo defeated him in December 2016. With the rematch on the cards, both boxers promised to give it their all in the fight. Kakololo said Kandala “speaks like a chicken”, while Kandala said Kakololo would lose the national title he was bragging about so much. The exchange of threats between the two fighters has been the reason why they have come close to fighting every time they meet at a press conference. The academy will stage other eight undercard fights, with the likes of Wilberforce Shihepo also making their debut for the Salute Academy. Paulus 'The Rock' Ambunda will headline the event as he makes his debut for the academy against Tasha Mjuaji of Tanzania. The boxing will start at 14:00 at the Paresis Stadium and is expected to end around 19:00. The Otji Fest spectacle will take place at the Paresis and Mokati Stadium where a variety of entertainment and sport events will be hosted. Football, music, car spinning and boxing will feature at the festival, with a line-up of local and international artists. International artists such as Casper Nyovest, Trompies and Professor will team up with locals Gazza, The Dogg, One Blood and many more to entertain the crowd. Otjiwarongo's Central Café is the main sponsor of the festival, partnering with Energy 100. Tickets for the event will be sold at all Pick n Pay outlets. Tickets will also be sold at the gates, but at higher cost. Advance tickets for adults cost N$100, while N$250 will be charged at the gates for those without tickets. Children's tickets cost N$30 in advance and N$50 at the gate, with teenagers paying N$70 in advance and N$100 at the gate. JESSE JACKSON KAURAISA
