Radio personality Xolani Gwala was confirmed dead at the age 44 by family on 702, on Friday morning.
South Africans are heartbroken about this news and have paid tribute to the late star, including celebrities.
“The first to call when you did well, the first to hug when he saw you needed it. The most amazing of broadcasters, no auto cues he would simply switch between languages with ease. You leave us better people bhut Xolani. Lala Ngoku,” Anele Mdoda shared.
Very sad to hear of the passing of broadcasting legend, Xolani Gwala. I will miss his unique perspective and exuberance. Sending love and condolences to his family. #RIPXolaniGwala
