Zimbabwean Boxer Who Was Due for Deportation Commits Suicide in London

A 42-year-old Zimbabwean boxer, Bhekitshe Moyo, who was due to be deported by immigration officials has allegedly committed suicide in south London.

Moyo was a former bank manager who had lived in the UK for more than 15 years before he was ordered to leave by the Home Office. He was reported missing on the evening of Monday, March 6, and his body was discovered the following day close to Mitcham Common.

Before his death, an unusual Facebook post prompted concerns from his family in Zimbabwe. He wrote on Facebook;

‘I have to sleep now. I love you all. Now be good to one another.’

Moyo, who lived in Wallington, was a skillful boxer who has often competed in matches and even volunteered teaching youths interested in the sport.
He went to the UK on a sports visa, a family friend told the Evening Standard.
