The much-loved SABC television and radio presenter Vuyo Mbuli passed away on Saturday night in Bloemfotein.
Mbuli collapsed while watching a Super Rugby match between the Cheetahs and the Reds at the Free State Stadium. He was treated at the scene before being rushed to the Mediclinic hospital in the city, where he later died.
Since his passing, President Jacob Zuma, political parties and the broadcasting community have all expressed their shock at the saddening news. During Monday morning's broadcast of Morning Live, Mbuli's co-presenter Leanne Manas broke down on camera. Mbuli was known for ending his broadcasts with 'Sharp, Sharp', something which endeared him to viewers.
Zuma praised Mbuli's contribution and said his death was a loss to the nation. "It is hard to think of a more patriotic and positive person than Vuyo," Zuma said in a statement. "He was always cheerful and the whole nation will miss his smile and encouraging words. "I wish to express, on behalf of government and the entire South African population, our words of condolence to the Mbuli family, friends and the SA Broadcasting Corporation."
