Description: . SAED:SPORTS:BOXING:PERSONALITY:DRUM.MAY.1956 ÃÆÃÂ ÃÆÃ¢â¬â¢Kangaroo̢̮â¬Å Maoto has been a fighter all his life! ÃÆÃ There̢̮â¬Â¢s nothing like God̢̮â¬Â¢s good water! ̢̮â¬â¢Kangaroo gives his kid sister, who looks herself like a baby Kangie, a ducking in the tub. Eating Avocado pears helped him build up weight. He was a thug, tough, reckless, until his mother got the brain-wave to encourage him to take up boxing and sweat off his energy there. ̢̮â¬â¢I grew up in a rough and tough area in Alexandra township ÃÆÃÂthe Dark city. Tiny in body as I was, I just had to force myself rough and tough too. What could I do? I had to grow up, hadn̢̮â¬Â¢t I? (Photograph by Drum Photographer ÃâéBaileys Archives) Neg T163 Frame 40
