MultiChoice Nigeria has been thrown into mourning over the death of the Chief Customer Officer, Martin Mabutho.
Colleagues, friends and associates were told of his death in the early hours of Tuesday.
The Nation was reliably informed that Mabutho died in South Africa.
Songstress Seyi Shay took to her social media account to eulogise the late Mabutho.
“They say ‘the good die young/early/too soon’ I’m actually starting to believe this! Can someone please explain this paradox… Lost too many good ones too soon this year already. My heart can’t take it anymore! RIP Martin. You changed my life twice. We will miss you.”
Born Martin Gaone Mabutho in far-away South Africa, the loveable executive – the sales, marketing, and communication guru -brought refreshing touch to the office that keeps positioning DStv as a strong contender among conglomerates competing for customers’ hearts and wallets across the continent.
The late Mabutho led a team of committed professionals, who keyed perfectly into the vision to make the brand one of the best globally while he was alive.
Mabutho, aside from the passion for his work and MultiChoice, has an unbridled love for sports and entertainment.
Mabutho demonstrated a long history of working in the broadcast media industry.
He was also skilled in Digital Strategy, Marketing Management, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Customer Value Management, Media Relations and Corporate Communications.
He was a strong leader with training from THNK School of Creative Leadership (Amsterdam) and Henley Business School.
