RADIO presenter Tiyani "Tiko Axi Etleli" Emmanuel Mabasa has died.
The Munghana Lonene FM presenter was involved in a horrific accident in the early hours of Saturday morning, October 28.
The 30-year-old Tiyani from Mulamula Village was one of two people who died in a road accident in Levubu, Limpopo.
Tiyani's sudden death has left many people and Munghana Lonene listeners shocked.
As one of the station's most popular presenters, Tiyani played a key role in shaping content and connecting with listeners.
Tiyani's elder brother, Errick Mabasa, who is the producer of Africa Wa Vulavula on Munghana Lonene, told Daily Sun that they were battling to come to terms with his death.
"I'm the last person to see him on Saturday, so it's not easy to accept his death. We were like friends.

"We will always remember him as a humble and respectful person," he said.
Tiyani is survived by his wife and child.
Limpopo police spokesman Hlulani Mashaba said the driver of the VW Polo lost control of the vehicle and collided with a VW Amarok bakkie.
Errick said both male drivers were travelling alone and sustained multiple injuries.
Police have initiated a case of involuntary manslaughter and investigations into the exact cause of the accident are ongoing.
