Heartfelt tributes pour in for seasoned media practitioner Luzuko Koti

Condolences continue to pour in for former Umhlobo Wenene FM presenter and Channel Africa business manager Luzuko Koti following his death on Monday.

His family released a statement confirming that Koti, 47, had succumbed to cancer.

“While it was our expressed wish to keep this private and make relevant pronouncement at the appropriate time, we believe it is in the best interest of the public to share that Luzuko lost a short and vigorously fought battle to cancer.

“He passed away at the Netcare Pretoria East health facility where he was receiving medical attention,” said Nontobeko Mabitsela, speaking on behalf of the family.

The passing of Koti, who also served as head of communications at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, sent shockwaves in the communications and broadcasting field.

Friends and colleagues described Koti as a true historian, a brilliant storyteller, and a lover of amaXhosa culture.
