I am incredibly sad about the news of Vuyo Mbuli’s death this morning. On behalf of the Democratic Alliance, I extend our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to his friends, family and colleagues at the SABC.

Vuyo has interviewed me on many occasions on Morning Live and on his show at SAFM. I can honestly say that it was always a pleasure to work with him. He was such a warm and respectful person. Vuyo was always fair – always asking the questions in a way that gave you a chance to state your side.

He personified what it meant to be a warm, engaging and tolerant South African.

He became a constant presence in my home every morning and certainly in the homes and places of work of millions of other South Africans.

He will be very sorely missed.
