Tribute to BO ‘BLACK’ Moseneke from all of us
Condolences to all the fans, friends and family of this bright young star Bo Moseneke who passed away on Saturday… He will be missed by listeners and watchers all over the country – a special shout out of support from Represent to all his colleagues and friends at 5fm and MNET.
A few words from 5fm:
Bo “Black” Moseneke was 26 years old when he passed away this …
past Saturday (October 1) in Pretoria. He will always be remembered as the high-spirited sports presenter on 5FM’s The Mark Gillman Breakfast Show. Bo joined the national radio station’s breakfast show early in 2004.
Bo loved his sport – he played four years of professional world tennis on the courts of America and Europe. Apart from various accolades, including awards for “Sports Personality of the Year” – honouring his truly unique & bold journalistic skills on both 5FM and Supersport (DStv) – Bo was a popular, spontaneous and absolute gentleman who won the hearts of everyone that met him.
“Bo ‘Black’ was truly one of the nicest people I have ever met, a remarkable personality; a great friend and a professional broadcaster. He will be remembered by all of his friends at 5FM in the way that each and every day he would greet us with his unmistakable smile and that infectious laugh. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace – Bo ‘Black’!” says John Langford, 5FM’s station manager.
In his last media interview a few weeks ago, Bo was questioned about his popularity with fans everywhere. “I just think it’s the sense of honesty and level of excitement through the way I present sport on TV & 5FM. People wanna know that their presenter is not just a person who talks about sport, but is a fanatic relating a story about what happened. I love what I do ‘cos I love my sport. That brings everyone listening or watching a little closer to you. And it seems the country’s beautiful ladies like that. I hope I keep doing it right?! Black… Strike hard, baby!” said Bo.
