My thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of journalist, political commentator, radio host and moderator Tshidi Madia who has passed away in the prime of her life.
Tshidi loved our country and this was the backdrop to her tough questions and her hopeful vision of a South Africa that can and should be better.
We shall continue to work for Tshidi’s South Africa with her now silent pen and voice in our memories and hearts.
Her passing during Women’s Month reminds us of her stature as a remarkable citizen and thought leader presented to the nation as an outstanding woman.
May her soul rest in peace.
I walked into the EWN newsroom as a 20 year old three years ago, and Tshidi immediately took me under her wing. She trained me, mentored me and mothered me.
She was much more than a manager. From career guidance to life advice, we spoke about everything.
I’m shattered, Tshidi.
It is with gut-wrenching sadness that Primedia Broadcasting regrets to inform its audiences about the passing of Tshidi Madia, EWN’s Associate Editor: Politics. https://t.co/2jOS5LqEr8
I’m Aldrin Sampear and I am BRILLIANT at what I do.
When I join companies, I fix what I can and always leave those organizations elevated. My departure from Newzroom Afrika is no different. While this moment is about me, I want to send a warm hug to my cheerleaders who have been saddened by my exit from broadcasting. I promise to make you proud again.
I resigned because my skill has been sought for different challenges. When the offer came, I went back to Tshwane Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya’s PHD dissertation “The Negotiated Nation: Evaluating Nation Building in the Post-Apartheid South Africa.” Reflections on Eskom board chairperson Mteto Nyati’s decision to answer the call to Public Service, have convinced me that there must more that this darkie can do for his country.
I have joined the Department of Tourism under the leadership of Minister Patricia De Lille. This beautiful nation has done so much for me. I’m indebted. State policies like social grants and free primary healthcare, helped pull me out of poverty and journalism was the vehicle. Kasie FM, my first broadcasting home was itself supported by a state agency, the MDDA.
My life is a testimony of God’s love for us and now I get to say THANK YOU in a BIG WAY and help pull more people up with me.
I’m so damn proud of this little boy. Baby se kind. “Remember to love each other and lead with compassion”
Words fail me!
