The cause of his death, however, was not immediately revealed.

"Your calmness and smile will be missed dearly. Heaven earned itself an angel," the media house said in a statement.

The media station also eulogized him as a consummate professional and a great team player.

The presenter died just six days after celebrating his birthday with his family and friends.

East FM urged friends to keep the family in their prayers as they deal with the sudden death.

His fans were heartbroken by the tragic news and started sending condolences to his friends and family immediately.

"Deepest condolences to his family. We will definitely miss him, his humour and cheering us every morning, and his update on traffic. May his soul rest in peace," one of his fans wrote.

Manji was an architect, podcaster, and blogger who left behind two children and a wife. 

His funeral has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 14, early morning.
