Sport, Arts and Culture Minister, Nathi Mthethwa, has expressed sadness at the passing of sport broadcaster, Sandile kaNqose.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster reportedly passed away on Monday at the age of 42.<\/p>\n
A die-hard sport fan, who had an insatiable passion for broadcasting, Nqose resumed his career at eNCA in 2008 as a freelancer before joining the channel on a permanent basis in 2009.<\/p>\n
He also worked at Yfm, and as a sports anchor on eTV\u2019s lunchtime news bulletin.<\/p>\n
Among the many highlights during his time at eNCA, Nqose was part of the team that covered the Springboks’ arrival and trophy tour after winning the 2019 World Cup.<\/p>\n
He was also the first analyst on the eNCA Saturday and Sunday sport shows.<\/p>\n
Mthethwa said the flame of Nqose\u2019s candle burnt out too soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a young man, whose colleagues describe as a consummate gentleman – always helpful, jovial and humorous.<\/p>\n
