..."It is hard to think of a more patriotic and positive person than Vuyo," Zuma said in a statement. "He was always cheerful and the whole nation will miss his smile and encouraging words. "I wish to express, on behalf of government and the entire South African population, our words of condolence to the Mbuli family, friends and the SA Broadcasting Corporation." Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who was in London, paid tribute to Mbuli as a "constantly reassuring presence on our television screens over two tumultuous decades". "With gentle and genteel style, perfectly suited to morning television and radio, his was for many people the first and most trusted analysis of the daily news," Tutu said in a statement. SA Football Association president Kirsten Nematandani said in a statement that it was difficult to express the loss South Africans felt at Mbuli's death. "...He was a great fan and admirer of our national football team. We pray for his family to remain strong as they mourn his passing away." Former 2010 Fifa World Cup local organising committee chief executive Danny Jordaan said he was shocked by Mbuli's sudden death. "We have worked with Vuyo on many occasions while bidding and during the 2010 Fifa World Cup. "He always displayed greatest professionalism in everything he did," Jordaan said. The SA National Editors Forum said it was deeply saddened by the loss of the "much-loved and respected journalist". Chairman Nic Dawes said: "He was also known for his hard work, dedication and an ability to keep his cool under pressure". SA Human Rights Commission spokesman Isaac Mangena said Mbuli left a legacy of journalistic integrity that established him as a legend of the media industry. "As a veteran journalist and commentator, Mr Mbuli was always committed to creating a platform for discussion and debate on difficult human rights issues facing our country." Earlier, Gauteng premier Nomvula Mokonyane said: "We have lost a patriot; a true believer in the ideals of South Africa; his wit and smile will forever be missed from our television screens". Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille extended the City's condolences to Mbuli's family, friends and colleagues. "His warm, thoughtful and engaging style of conducting interviews made every interview with him a pleasurable encounter." The SA Communist Party said Mbuli's professionalism would be greatly missed, while the Inkatha Freedom Party said Mbuli had dedicated his life's work to the country he loved."
