During the week-ends, they loaf around the locations, dressed in flashy American clothes. After World War II most of the worlds big cities had to face another war, trying to stop the crime wave caused by the young and unemployed. America had what was called, "The street with no name that runs across the States." Johannesburg was no exception. Sophiatown, generally considered the nucleus of all Reef crimes, spawned on to the Reef more gangs than any other Location. There were gang fights over girls. They even had the services of a Bachelor of Arts High school teacher and a matriculated student to write their love letters to the decent girls who drew their fancy. For the Americans tried to be respectable when they met respectable people. (Photograph by Bob Gosani Baileys Archive) townshi

Description: DM2000012707:SAED:SPORTS:BOXING:JAN1955 - A new Hammer Strikes! - Jason 'Black Hammer' Radebe started boxing in 1947 when he joined Barney Molopo's back-yard gym. During the next five years till he turned pro he had 15 amateur fights winning 10 and beating now-known boxers like Young Seabela who was then aptly called "The fighting machine." In all his eight pro fights of which he won six - he was not an impressive boxer. Then came his lucky break when he was matched with Enoch Nhlapho. With the first bell of the fight, we saw a Radebe who definitely had championship material in him. He could punch; he could think- and he had guts.

"Slumber" was a sure cure for anyone who suffered from insomnia. One solid punch and that could send you to slumberland. Bet some of you are asking: Ja, thats all very good-o. But how come he never became world champ in either of the two divisions in which he paraded? Let's consider the facts ... In 1950, after 23 amateur fights he made his debut into the paid ranks and outpointed Abraham "Battling Beans" Maselesele over eight rounds. Later in the year he was given a shellacking by the then featherweight champ "Kid Alpheus, after that he laid low for a little over two years. His record a mere two fights: won one, lost one.
