Radio Metro Personality, Eddie Zondi dies

This is very sad to take my precious time and write about another legend passing away. Last time I was actually supposed to pass condolences to two families but I thought it would be better if I write about Maya Angelou only and leave Shakes Kungwana out. The reason behind that is because I thought writing about too many deaths will make me appear thrilled.

Now I feel that I’m forced to write about the late Eddie Zondi because his death really came as a shock. I still am shocked even now and deeply hurt; it’s so unbelievable. He is a radio legend.

He died of heart attack; however, Sowetan reported that Kaizer Kganyago (SABC spokesman) could not confirm that Zondi died of heart attack. He had chest pains and was rushed to the hospital; sadly, he couldn’t even make it to the hospital. This shows how serious this was.

His death made many people to realize how short life can be. It also shows that no one knows his/her time, so you need to always humble yourself and do well in life.

Eddie Makhosonke Zondi died 47. He was the presenter at radio Metro, he is known by his famous “The Romantic Repertoire” show on Sunday afternoon, from 3pm to 6pm. He would always be playing chilled RnB music, mixing it with some useful and wonderful quotes and advices. His show was able to give people peace of mind for so many years.

I pass my deeply condolences to his family, friends and metro FM. I must admit that my Sunday afternoons will never be the same anymore.

I really wish that RIP could mean Return If Possible- May his soul rest in perfect peace
