Vuyo Mbuli 1967 - 2003 "sharp sharp"



Some people touch our lives only briefly
While others leave a lasting impression and are never forgotten
One of our most beloved television and radio personalities passed away, at the age of 46, on the morning of Sunday 19 May 2013, due to a heart attack.
As South Africa mourns, I fondly remember how every morning getting ready for work used to be such a pleasure due in part to his breakfast news show co hosted with Leanne Manas. With his infectious laugh and awesome fun personality he made the breakfast show enjoyable. The lovely chemistry of fun and respect between him and Leanne was always a pleasure to watch.
We will miss the “sharp sharp eita da” at the end of each show as well as the funny way he used to say “goeie genade”…
Rest in peace Vuyo Mbuli you will be forever loved and remembered and sorely missed.

Technology is Amazing

I begin to love this creature, and to anticipate her birth as a fresh twist to a knot, which I do not wish to untie. - Mary Wollstonecraft On Tuesday, 8 December 2009, we went for a 4D Ultrasound Scan at Peek-a-Babe in Goodwood (Mel is the most amazing person). This was our baby's first "television" debut to an audience of 5. My husband, mother in-law, sister, myself and the sonographer (of course) was there to witness it. I felt a little anxious because we were to learn whether our little one was a girl or a boy. We were certain that we were having a boy, until my husband had a dream, a week before the scan. He dreamt that our baby was born (we were in a pink room) and my youngest daughter came in to see her sibling and picked the baby up and that was when he saw that the baby was a girl. She was very strong and had long legs. So God pretty much prepared us for the fact that we were expecting a girl and that she will be born strong and healthy. But of course like anyone ...

My beautiful Warrior Princess

Today I am celebrating the life of my sister Tanya Potts Arendse, she died just days before her 36 th birthday on 22 May 2010. She fought a brave battle against ovarian cancer and finally was taken to glory and victory in Jesus on Saturday the 22 nd of May 2010. I miss my sister dearly; I have so many memories that brings’ me joy and comfort. I found this beautiful poem by William Blake called On Another’s Sorrow that I would like to share here as a dedication to Tanya and also as an encouragement to everyone dealing with the loss of a loved one. This poem was published in Songs of Innocence in 1789. The innocence suggested within the poem is that sympathy alone can comfort and heal.   On Another's Sorrow - William Blake   Can I see another's woe,   And not be in sorrow too?   Can I see another's grief,   And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, ...
