This is Nomsa's full statement:

Good day,

It is with great sadness that I share the news of Nkateko Mabaso’s passing. Nkateko fondly known to most as NK, was a maverick within the M-Net world where he held various roles and was instrumental in the implementation and growth of our Mass & Middle market propositions with the flagship being the iconic Mzansi Magic.

NK is survived by his wife Mathapelo, his son Tshimologo and his parents Xithlangoma Bob and Lizzy Mabaso.

We will always remember NK, he left an indelible mark with his work on iconic productions such as Isibaya, The Queen and events such as the Channel O awards, DMVCAs and a whole host of others.

May his family, friends and colleagues find comfort during this very difficult time.
