Khabzela passes on

Popular Yfm disc jockey Fana "Khabzela" Khaba died yesterday, 14 January 2004. Khabzela was widely praised for his bravery in disclosing his HIV-positive status on his mid-morning show in May 2003. "This is a big loss to the Yfm family and its listeners," expressed a saddened Yfm Station Manager Greg Maloka. "Fana is a prime example of someone who made something out of his life from nothing and whom we should all strive to emulate. He taught most of us – colleagues and listeners - that life is important and now that he's gone, it is up to us to complete what he started."
