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.  

A Sad Grieving Kind of Mood

I have been in a strange sort of mood, a sad grieving kind of mood… Every moment of every day the obvious void screams loud and louder still… Time will heal; they say… it will get better with every day… True lie THAT is, it does not, it does not fade away… It remains strong and stronger still, overwhelms and overpowers, this grief I feel… Maybe I will get better in living with it, maybe… Maybe I will be stronger in holding it, maybe… Today real and now, I grieve and grieve and grieve… Yes God fills my life with love and strength yet from this holed heart it seeps and I am empty once again… I am in a strange mood, a grieving kind of mood…   Vanessa Fortune 7/5/2013   She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.
