It is with great sadness that we have learned about the passing of one of the country’s best-ever sport commentators, Oom Dan Setshedi, who died on Saturday at the age of 80.
Oom Dan’s career started in Radio Bantu in the 1960’s before he moved to the SABC sports department in the 70s and became one of the golden voices of football on TV in 1986, a year after the formation of the National Soccer League.
Alongside Zama ‘Zet-Zet’ Masondo, Thabiso Parkies and Dumile Mateza, Oom Dan was one of the best commentators who would keep viewers glued to their TV sets from the first to the final whistle.
Robala ka kgotso Oom Dan.

It is reported that Selina Dladla, the mother of Kaizer Chiefs midfieder Josta Dladla has been granted bail of R500, but investigations are still underway. So far Kaizer Jr's boutique is reported to be closed as it forms part of the investigations.
It is alleged that the pyjamas, panties, bras, tights and dried fruit of the same type she stole were found in the Kaizer Chiefs kit storeroom. Most of the materials that Kaizer Chiefs use are providede by the Motaung Jr Boutique and that is what caused the closure.
A full update will be provided together with the dates of the trial.
Robala ka khotso Ntate Setshedi.
In his court papers before the Randburg Magistrates' Court, De Sa hit back at allegations made by his ex-wife earlier this year when she applied for a protection order against the coach.
This after De Sa started harassing and threatening Henderson and her new boyfriend Deon van Rensburg with violence.
In her founding affidavit in May, Nicole Henderson claimed, among other things, that De Sa owns a gun and that he is mentally unstable.
R.I.P Ntate Setshedi, journey well travelled...
