The regrettes of El Rego and Roger Zounon
Two Beninese sports players are no longer in this world. Firstly, it concerns the patriarch, El Rego, of the boxing family, and Roger Zounon, general secretary of the Comex of the Beninese Cycling Federation (FBC), secondly. Indeed, it was on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday October 11, 2023, that the former president of the Atlantic-Littoral Boxing League joined eternal bliss. A great actor and lover of the Noble Art, Théophile Do Rego, alias “El Rego” has, during his lifetime, helped several Beninese pugilists to build their careers. Far from the moments he shared with the old and the young as soon as he found himself with them on the events of the noble art, El Rego, one of the great musical artists that Benin knew in the 1960s with the group Poly Rythmo passed away at the age of 86.
The sports movement having not yet digested this disappearance only during the day, it learned of the reminder to the creator of another member. This time, Roger Zounon, secretary general of the governing body of Beninese cycling, has left. Only last week, precisely on Thursday October 5, he was alongside other members of the Executive Committee of the federation during the delivery of bicycles to Savè. The circumstances of his death have not yet been revealed. Reacting to this heavy loss for Beninese cycling, the president of the federation, Romuald Hazoumè, sadly read “we offer our sincere condolences to his biological family, his children and all his friends. Cycling has lost one of its wise men.” The deputy organizer of the Executive Committee of the Beninese Cycling Federation, Brunos Wotto, also reacted to this chilling information. “Together with him, you remember, we made the journey and we helped him on the evening of his return to take a Zem for his house. It was the last time I saw him. Life and death coexist. May the light be on his family, so that they can overcome the pain and the emptiness that this absence will generate (of now dad, big brother, collaborator, for some and ex-SG for the FBC),” he said. he makes people read.
