My heart is truly aching, my mind is struggling to decipher this devastating and abrupt end to such a life. I can only think to send prayers of love and courage to his partner Nduduzo, his family, and every single person whose life Eusebius touched. ❤️ #RIPEusebius

@CityPowerJhb Hi, what’s the latest on the Kensington outage?

[Anele Mkumla @anelemkumla]

@CityPowerJhb We’re back up in Kensington.

[Anele Mkumla @anelemkumla]

@CityPowerJhb We are in block 12. Still no power since 9am yesterday. Any news on this CPWEB3998489 ???

[Anele Mkumla @anelemkumla]

Hello @CityPowerJhb. May you kindly assist with an update on this fault that was logged yesterday; CPWEB3998489.

[Ferial Haffajee @ferialhaffajee]

Be still. A great spirit is passing. Like his namesake, a polemicist of excellence. A resonant mic 🎙️ is quieted. A pointed pen 🖊️ laid down. Rest softly, Eusebius McKaiser. 🇿🇦 fine son of our soil.

[Inunu Engafi @lebomashile]

We are waking up inside the same nightmare. How can someone as vibrant as Eusebius be gone?

[Anele Mkumla @anelemkumla]

Me too! It was so tense.

[Anele Mkumla @anelemkumla]

Hahaha! @TheRealClementMThe Euby really enjoyed sharing those weekly updates after watching Uyajola99 the previous night! 🤣🤣🤣

Our country has lost one of its finest broadcasters, analysts and public intellectuals.

I have lost a dear friend and a major mentor.

Thank you @Eusebius for setting the standard in so many ways. This is so desperately sad and unfair. 😭

[Jodi Allemeier 🌇 @urbanjodi]

Eusebius showed us what it meant to be non-partisan, intellectual, independent and in pursuit of a just and fair society. He didn’t just shout his thoughts across a table he took care to explain them, & I learnt a lot from listening to & reading him. What a huge & untimely loss.

[Julius Sello Malema @Julius_S_Malema]

Rest In Peace My Brother @Eusebius. We did not always see things the same way, but your voice was important in South African politics. Sleep my brother, till we meet again.💔

[Suntosh Pillay @suntoshpillay]

Eusebius's passing hits hard for queer people. For many of us, him being an openly gay public figure, was an affirming fact

He was unapologetically himself, vocal in defending LGBTQ+ rights and, importantly, wrote about his journey for us to reflect on.

Just left Eusebius’ house. An among friends and family, we spoke endlessly and laughed from the depths of our bellies. Every occasion with Eusebius was filled with endless conversation and laughter. This is how we will celebrate his life and his work

Flashback.

Eusebius Mckaiser was a commanding public philosopher.

Bold & brazen, he elevated media discourse in South Africa. He challenged himself & others to think harder, deeper, and with more analytic rigor.

@Eusebius's untimely death leaves a void, emotionally & intellectually

#EusebiusMcKaiser was a friend, a colleague and one of the smartest people I knew. You were fearless and clear-sighted, never wavering in speaking truth to power. It is a profound loss for South Africa and for those that loved you. We are heartbroken #RIPEusebius

A beautiful and moving tribute to a man I had a great deal of respect for, from someone for whom I have a great deal of respect ❤️✊🏽

Rest in Power Euby 💛✊🏽

Thank you for your service to the nation. Thank you for showing so many of us we too matter. Thank you for your courage.

[Ayanda Nyathi @N_Ayanda]

Gosh, how do we even eulogise a man who leaves such an indelible mark on an industry undoubtedly poorer without his contribution.

Eusebius McKaiser did radio & writing with incredible depth, enviable vulnerability & unmatched preparation. Audiences will talk about him for years.
