Since news of his passing, fans have called for the DJ to be honoured in a state funeral and while this may not be the case, Mabena will be laid to rest in Saturday, 15 August 2020 at 12.30pm.
The funeral proceedings will also be broadcast on Power FM.
Speaking via their statement, the Mabena family recognised how loved Bob was but implored fans to adhere to lockdown regulations by rather hosting their own virtual memorial services for the late DJ should they wish to honour him over and above the ceremonies arranged by his family – which will be attended by a maximum of 50 people with social distancing protocols observed.
