Well-known political analyst, author, journalist, and broadcaster Eusebius McKaiser has died unexpectedly at the age of 45 following a suspected epileptic seizure, his manager Jackie Strydom told several media outlets on Tuesday.
It is reported that the former Radio 702 talk show host died in the afternoon of the 30th of May 2023 at his home in Johannesburg. His death came as a shock to many people as he had not shown any signs of illness and had been active on social media earlier in the day.
