Mabena died of a heart attack on Monday.
His passing has come as a great shock and surprise to the media industry and to those who followed this career from a young age.
Mabena began at radio bop under the leadership of former station manager – Thapelo Thipe.
Thipe said he spoke to Mabena just last week:
“He would go the extra mile and each time after we had the show, he would evaluate performance that day. He would take such a time with great interest and he would always tell us what he would do to improve.”
Mabena recorded a popular track Get Funky with soccer legend Theophilus Khumalo known as ‘Doctor Khumalo.’
Khumalo said Mabena had such a significant influence in his life.
