"We have been informed of his unfortunate passing away and we will be issuing a media statement," Govender said.
"We don't have many details, but we know that it was unexpected and sudden and our sympathies and thoughts go out to the Reddy family and their friends.
"It's very sad."
SASCOC released as statement through their website saying they were saddened by Reddy's passing.
