Veteran radio personality Xolani Gwala has died at the age of 44 after succumbing to a lengthy battle with cancer.
The family confirmed on 702 on Friday morning.
During an interview on SABC’s Morning Live show in August last year, Gwala described fighting the disease as “hell”.
Gwala underwent several operations and six cycles of chemotherapy and at the time said he was in remission.
“The lesson is to be grateful‚” said Gwala‚ explaining that he was thankful for his family‚ friends and doctors – and the ability to afford the treatment he was given.
