Bob died on Monday after suffering a cardiac arrest. At the time of his death, he was a presenter of Power Breakfast on Power 98.7 and hosted his last show on Friday, ahead of the country celebrating Women’s Day on 9 August, a subject among many he was passionate about.
Power FM and the Mabena family said they recognise and appreciate that Mr Bob Mabena belonged to many South Africans. Due to lockdown regulations, we will not be able to accommodate all people who may wish to pay their last respects. We wish to encourage people to feel free and set up their own virtual memorial services in his honour.
