Kunene died last Sunday due to Covid-19 related complications after a weeklong hospitalisation, according to information shared by his brother Siyabonga. “At such a young and productive age, his death leaves us bereft. It also leaves journalism poorer as we still looked forward to Sonqoba’s contribution. Our deepest condolences go out to his family,”SA Football Association stakeholder relations director Dominic Chimhavi said he died from cardiac arrest.
“I am writing this with a heavy heart ... Our friend, colleague and fellow, football lover, Coudjoe has suddenly passed away this evening. He was truly loved and was known as ‘Malume’. May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace. I miss you already,” tweeted Christophe Bongo, who had worked on SABC TV with Coudjoe, including on the popular weekly SoccerZone show.
