So long Baba Vuyo Mbuli…




Every morning Monday to Friday, in our house we put on the TV at 06H00 and watch morning live on SABC 2. Even though we don’t watch but the TV is on and we all expect to see both Leanne Manas and Vuyo Mbuli. It really is heart breaking waking up to hearing that one of your favourite news anchors has passed on. Vuyo Mbuli has been on our TV screens for as long as I can remember.
I’ll miss his goodbye link on morning live, “mintiro ya wena ya vhula vhula, sharp sharp!” I love hearing someone speak Xitsonga on a national platform because most of the time we are ignored.

Vuyo Mbuli was a man who was diverse in every way. His interviews were on point. His jokes were spot on. But Vuyo was the man. 
On the other hand, we get people who are so insensitive, Vuyo’s passing isn’t only about Morning Live and whether or not we watched the show or not, we all grew up knowing him. It’s like Nelson Mandela, some of us never met him but we know he exists. People should stop being insensitive. As much as Vuyo belonged to his family and friends, he also belongs to the nation. We invited him in our households every morning and he was part of the families, I know he was part of our family.

It’s true what you always said in your goodbye link, mintiro ya wena ya vhula vhula. Your actions spoke volumes that’s why; TODAY we are mourning your death Baba Vuyo.
I know morning Live and morning TV will never be the same again. 
You lived and died a Legend!

My favourite News Anchor, Viva the Legend. MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE!
