The SACP has received with shock and sadness the news of the sudden passing away of Mr. Vuyo Mbuli. At the time of his passing away he was an anchor for Morning Live and presented a talk show on Safm.
Death has robbed our country of an experience broadcaster with a career that had spanned close to twenty years. His professionalism will be dearly missed. All those who have interacted with Mr Mbuli can attest to his affability and humility. Vuyo was well known for phrases such as "sharp sharp" which became his official signing off line on Morning Live and the famous "Andile knows weather" when introducing the weather report slot. He used to keep his team laughing by always remarking about the shots the SABC used for the traffic update, later on the graphics where to be changed, clearly informed by his joke.
The SACP sends its condolences to the family, friends and relatives and to colleagues at Morning Live, Safm and the media industry broadly.
