“Everyone at the e.tv family is deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Bongani Njoli,” read part of a statement issued by eMedia. 

“His untimely passing comes as a shock, he was in the studio with us in December 2022 for a new movie campaign. But unfortunately, as he was too weak to record, we put the campaign on hold.

“A part of our history is gone with his passing, but we will forever remember him as ‘the voice’ – our voice. Those of us who worked closely with him will sorely miss Bongani’s easy-going, gentle manner and utter professionalism,” added the channel.
