Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa: Memorial Service of Steve Mokone

Programme Director,
Minister of Sport and Recreation Fikile Mbalula,
Acting Premier of Gauteng Ms Qedane Mahlangu,
Family and friends of Steve Madi Mokone,
Fellow South Africans,

We gather here today as a nation to pay our respects to South Africa’s premier global football ambassador – Steven Madi Mokone.

Steve Mokone got the nickname ‘Kalamazoo’ from a timeless classic by Glen Miller.

It is perhaps fitting that the name should have stuck, because he was a consummate artist, who entertained and amazed in equal measure.
