Molopyane passed away on Sunday at the age of 45 and was an announcer at the SABC’s Motsweding FM at the time of his death. Molopyane, affectionately known as KB, has been described by many as an astonishing radio presenter with an incredible sense of humour. 

The 45-year-old's contribution to the world of radio, sports and the media industry as a whole is applauded by many with the SABC having stated that he will be greatly missed.

The provincial Arts Department has meanwhile in a statement highlighted that Molopyane was a bubbly and charismatic figure, on and off the airwaves, who touched many lives across the country.

“As we pay tribute to this gentle soul, we wish to register our thanks to him for the excellent role he played in advancing sport, not only in the North West but also across the length and breadth of the world, wherever the Setswana language is spoken. On a number of occasions, he worked closely with the Department in advancing sport in the province. One of his recent contributions was presenting the Annual Provincial Sport Awards in Klerksdorp, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.”
