We send our sympathies to his loved ones,” said the minister, in a mini-statement released via his Twitter handle.
It is also reported that David was hospitalised a few weeks ago and he never recovered.
According to SABC Morning Live, David (47) passed away on Sunday afternoon at the Milpark Hospital in Joburg. The sportsman was hospitalised after suffering a heart attack, according to reports.
The SABC reported that David died after suffering from a long illness.
Meanwhile, the Sunday World reports that a nasty was has broken out between David and his estranged “sugar mama” over the division of their estate and control of their company.
The paper reports that his wife Lesley Jane Kekana had applied for an order in the Joburg high court to force him to hand over share certificates of trust accounts he allegedly took when vacating their multimillion rand home in Dainfern Estate, north of Joburg.
