Just a week after singer Avril lost her dad, another famous personality has lost his father after he succumbed to cancer.

Citizen TV's sports anchor and reporter Bernard Ndong sadly lost his father, who has been battling with cancer for quite some time, last night.

....My dad was not the disciplinarian. He was always a joker. That was the greatest lesson he taught me – to appreciate the humour. He taught me to look at the lighter side of things, and it helps.

Our sincere condolence to Bernard Ndong and his family.
