Even as I write this I can't believe, he's no more. It was so unexpected and out of the way but when God has decided who are we to question him!
I pray that his family, friends, colleagues and fans find comfort in knowing Vuyo did his part and excelled at it and the honest truth is, he is irreplaceable.
He was no average anchor and it was always beautiful to see how well he engaged his guests and making them feel at home.
No matter how serious and complicated the issue analysed, he never compromised his standards -a hand shake after each interview was guaranteed.
Those that have had an opportunity of meeting him all agree that he was an eloquent and down to earth man.
From presenting the show with swollen feet after participating in the Comrade Marathon and asking the cameraman to zoom in to give us at home a sneak preview of his experience to teasing his co-workers and reading tweets live, everyday was extraordinary.
He was a true testament that you are blessed to be a blessing.
We are greatfull for the little time that we watched, laughed while being informed of current affairs..
I came across this quote by the Minister in the Presidency for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, Collins Chabane. it moved me and I hope it does the same to you too.
"I further call on young and aspiring journalists to strive for excellence as Mr Vuyo Mbuli did, he has left his mark and walked his journey with pride. May his soul rest in peace!"
It's reportedly that he collapsed while watching a rugby match between the Cheetahs and the Reds at the Free State Stadium on Saturday night. He was treated at the scene before being rushed to the Medi-clinic hospital, where he later died at the age of 46.
