The Inkatha Freedom Party send its deepest condolences to the family and friends
of DJ Saba Mbixane of Umhlobo Wenene FM who tragically passed away yesterday at
the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital.

“The broadcast industry has lost one of its famous and well-liked DJ who
excelled as a radio presenter. His presenting skills and contributions to the
industry will be sorely missed as he was an inspiration to young presenters",
said IFP National Chairman, Mr Blessed Gwala.

"Mbixane won several awards for his Traditional Music Programmes, Siwel'uthukela
and Lavuth'ibhayi. It will be difficult to replace such a talented individual.
Our condolences also go to the Eastern Cape Provincial Government, Umhlobo
Wenene FM listeners and the SABC family", concluded Mr Gwala.
