The weights ranged from 26kg to 75kg.
Also in attendance giving his support to the youngsters, was local boxing hero Mziwoxolo Ndwayana, the current WBC champion.
Tyson Dibela, a coach at Mfuzo Boxing club said: “Our tournament has been very successful. We are very glad about it, because we were very stressed about it and we are shocked about the success of the tournament.”
