Jegels anniversary invokes painful emotions

Rita Jegels could not control her emotions when she recalled how her daughter, SA boxing champion Leighandre “Baby Lee” Jegels, was gunned down by Leighandre’s estranged policeman boyfriend while on her way to training in Mdantsane. Rita’s emotions were invoked when the Jegels family visited the site of the tragedy at a roadside spot in Wilsonia to commemorate the second anniversary of her death at the weekend.
