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.
