“Little did you know the difference you would make” – Vuyo Mbuli’s wife Savita praises his legacy

“Little did you know the difference you would make” – Vuyo Mbuli’s wife Savita praises his legacy.

Savita, Vuyo Mbuli’s wife, has expressed how proud she is of the legacy her husband, Vuyo Mbuli, left behind.

Vuyo Mbuli presented SABC 2’s Morning Live for 13 years.


 

 

 

 

Vuyo passed away 10 years ago at the age of 46 after passing out while watching a rugby match at Bloemfontein’s Free State Stadium.“You know my husband did this”
On Friday, Savita posted a picture of herself visiting his grave on her timeline and talked about how Vuyo helped those in need.

She shared Vuyo’s contribution to helping a community of Port Alfred that lived on the riverbanks in unsafe informal structures.

“You are a Legend! Truly so! Little did you know the difference you would make to the lives of so many people. In the beautiful town of Port Alfred there was an ugly part not shown in pictures. The other side. Where communities lived on the riverbanks in unsafe informal structures that would be swept away if the tide became too high or during rainy season. People would come back from work/school homeless.

“This bothered my husband and gave birth to the first Private Public Partnership. He called local, provincial, national governments and a bank put them on TV. Fast Forward. Today there’s a thriving community.. in a relatively big township.. like bigger than Pimville’s Zone 4 & 5 combined😊 living in decent homes. All because my husband was.”

“What moves me even more is the stories people who live there tell. Some are so expressive when they see me in town. I think of the generations that will benefit. I flex on my kids when we pass there and be on some “You know my husband did this”. On days when I’m nice to them I’ll be on: You know your Dad did this”. It’s always a warm conversation starter❤️ A story they’ll share with their children and their children’s children.”

STATEMENT BY DR NANDIPHA MAGUDUMANA
“Friends and family, It is with a deep humility and respect to share this piece of communication with you.
It’s been a few months since my illegal incarceration at Bizzah Makhete Correctional Centre in Kroonstad but I would like to assure you that I am holding on, in faith. The deep conversations I’ve been having with God give me strength with each passing day.
Though the last few weeks have not been easy I am more convinced than ever that there is a reason and a purpose for everything.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To my family and the people that have been supporting and praying for me, thank you very much. May the Almighty shine His face on you and give you peace that surpasses all understanding.
Through my lawyers, I am aware of the many untrue statements, narratives and conclusions surrounding my arrest and I will deal with such at a more appropriate level.
As women’s month comes to an end I’m reminded about the struggles women face in our country. In the near future I will soon be in a position to give you deeper insight on the following:
The many painful times I have suffered physical, emotional, financial and sexual abuse at the hands of powerful men, including some of the most powerful & prominent families in South Africa currently occupying the highest offices in government and business.
• My painful experience at the correctional facility including the plight of woman inmates and the violation of their human rights.
• The merits concerning the allegations against me and the events which transpired in Tanzania are currently before the courts and will also be addressed at a more appropriate time.
I am also aware of the various productions being shot about my life, and I’d like to categorically state that if my voice or that of my legal team is not represented, there is likely no truth or credibility to that story. I have conditionally granted a black woman owned production company from South Africa exclusive rights to my story and our lawyer
