Heita daaaaaaaaaaar!

''Mintirho ya vulavula. Yita vula vula mindzuko. Sharp-sharp. Heita daaaaaaaaar!!'' That is how Mr Morning Live Vuyo Mbuli ended an informative, patriotic and mesmerizing Morning News broadcast. Morning Live will never be the same again you shall forever be missed, Vuyo we love you. Born on the 14th of May 1967, Vuyo made his TV debut in 1993 as a continuity presenter on SABC3 and went on to be signed as one of the founding anchors of Morning Live when the show premiered on 1 November, 1999.He started his radio career on SAfm in 1995 and remained with Morning Live until his death on 18 May 2013.He died after collapsing at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein where he was watching a Super Rugby match between the Cheetahs and the Reds. He was rushed to hospital where he later died.He celebrated his 46th birthday on air on 14 May 2013, a birthday he shared with his daughter. Once again Mr Morning Live you shall forever be missed.

Well, just like every South African and African i too woke up to the voice of Vuyo. A very creative and intelligent Sir with very good communication skills that always kept us glued to our TVs every morning. Vuyo changed the face of media particularly on that of anchoring. His trade mark introductory statements, and conclusions, his relationship with the crew behind the scenes and his love for the job was well translated and transmitted to our homes every day. Though some of us never had a personal relationship with the man we through listening to him every morning built a relationship not only with the news but with the man himself. Later on to be joined by Leanne Manas the two potrayed a perfect picture of what the rainbow nation should look like. I guess his good in front of the camera makes us to over look the downs in his personal life.
For the last time we say "libumbene ihora le skhombisa" Mintirho ya vulavula. Yita vula vula mindzuko. Sharp-sharp. Heita daaaaaaaaar!!''

In memory of Vuyo Mbuli 1967-2013  '' it's not what you say, It's what you do!''
