Well-known Ukhozi FM presenter and businessman Bheka ‘Beekay’ Mchunu has passed away following an undisclosed illness.
The news of his passing was announced in the evening of Tuesday, 12 March 2024 by various reliable sources on Facebook.
Mchunu joined Ukhozi FM more than ten years ago after having worked as a presenter for Durban Youth Radio and Izwi Lomzansi.
During his time at Ukhozi FM, he hosted various shows including Akulalwa, Cothoza Mfana, Ikhethelo and Sigiya Ngengoma. In the recent years, he struggled with health issues which sometimes forced him to go off air in the middle of the show to get medical attention. However, his death came as a shock to many since it had been a while since he was reported to be sick.
In addition to being a radio presenter, Beekay was also a businessman. He was the founder and CEO of KZN Matric Excellence center, a school for learners who wish to rewrite their Grade 12 examinations. Condolence messages have been pouring in on social media since the news of his death emerged. Ukhozi FM and the SABC are expected to release a statement with further details on Wednesday morning.
