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.
