Capital FM is deeply saddened to announce that the world of sports has lost one of its most iconic voices—Sean Cardovillis.
The renowned sports commentator who worked here at Capital FM passed away this morning at his house in Westlands, and his family has been informed.
Reports indicate that he collapsed on the staircase outside his house and the cause of death has not been established.
“It is shocking, I still can’t believe Sean is no more,” said Danny Munyi, Programmes Director at Capital FM, “We have lost an icon in Sports”.
Sean’s powerful commentary and infectious enthusiasm for sports made him a household name locally and internationally.
At Capital FM, we pay tribute to the man who brought sports to life for millions of our listeners around the world.
Cardovillis was a Sports News Presenter and premiered the popular Saturday Music and Sports show.
Capital FM’s Editorial Director Bernard Momanyi said “We have lost a legend. Sean’s passion and dedication to bringing the world of sports to our listeners was unmatched and his legacy in the world of sports journalism will forever remain an integral part of our newsroom’s identity.”
His last interview was with multiple World Champion Faith Kipyegon, which is scheduled to air in today’s show.
Once again, we pass our condolences to the family following this devastating report.
