Johannesburg - The South African sporting community was struck a hard blow by the death of sports journalism legend S’busiso Mseleku who succumbed to Covid-19 on Monday.
The Mseleku family confirmed in a statement that he died on Monday at the Midvaal Private Hospital in Vereeniging of a Covid-19 related illness. He is survived by his wife and five children. “After his father passed away, he took up the mantle of being the head of the family so his concern was not only over his own children but also over his larger family. He looked after his mother and was very close to his sisters, so he will be dearly missed,” he said.
Tributes for the late sports journalism legend poured in on Tuesday including condolence messages from Mseleku’s friends and sports journalism colleagues. South African Football Association president Dr Danny Jordaan said in a statement that the association was heartbroken, gutted and felt empty.
