Renowned analyst, broadcaster, and author Eusebius McKaiser has passed away after experiencing a suspected epileptic seizure, reports said on Tuesday.

McKaiser’s manager, Jackie Strydom, confirmed the news, stating that he appeared healthy and was going about his day before the sudden incident, Times Live reported.

McKaiser’s partner, Nduduzo Nyanda, is currently with his family at the mortuary, the report said.

His death has sent shock waves in the media fraternity.

Shortly before noon, McKaiser was in a positive mood and took to social media to express his admiration for Musa Motha, a South African amputee dancer who had recently showcased his talent on the popular UK television show, Britain’s Got Talent. McKaiser was deeply impressed by Motha’s performance, which involved dancing with crutches.

“STOP what you’re doing. Right now. You need to watch this. Wow. I … am speechless & ran out of tears.

“Also retweet so Musa Motha becomes a household name in SA and not just a star on a UK show.

“This is the inspiration you needed for this week,” he wrote.

Following the announcement of his death social media was abuzz with condolence messages and many stating that they can not believe that the journalist is no more.
