His passing was confirmed by the family in a brief statement.
“It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of loss that we inform you of the passing of John “Dungi” Moeti. John suddenly took ill eight months ago and was receiving specialist medical care. John succumbed to his illness in the early hours of this morning (February 6) at home, surrounded by his family and brethren in prayer.
