South African radio personality DJ Fresh honored the memory of Babongile Sikhonjwa, who died on September 21 at age 49. The broadcaster told The Chronicle that Sikhonjwa demonstrated patience, authenticity, and generosity throughout their nearly two-decade friendship. Their bond formed when DJ Fresh performed at Visions Night Club in Bulawayo, where Sikhonjwa ensured smooth operations and created a welcoming environment.
DJ Fresh recalled a defining moment around 2006 or 2007 when he overslept and missed his flight to Bulawayo for a scheduled performance. Sikhonjwa proposed that DJ Fresh drive from South Africa to Zimbabwe instead of canceling the show. The radio host made the journey, and Sikhonjwa waited at the Beitbridge border crossing to facilitate his entry. DJ Fresh described this act as evidence of Sikhonjwa's exceptional character and willingness to assist others.
