    A much-loved South African radio and TV personality has died after collapsing at a rugby match in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

    A much-loved South African radio and TV personality has died after collapsing at a rugby match in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

    The South African National Editors' Forum issued a statement on Sunday mourning the passing of SABC's Vuyo Mbuli, calling him "a much-loved and respected journalist".

    Mbuli, 46, reportedly collapsed while watching a rugby match between the Cheetahs and the Reds at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday evening.

    He was treated at the scene and rushed to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

    "Sanef members, like the rest of society, are still in shock about the passing on of 'Mr Sharp Sharp', as the amiable TV and radio personality was known," read the statement. "He was also known for his hard work, dedication and an ability to keep his cool under pressure."

    Tributes have been pouring in from President Jacob Zuma, Archbishop Emiritus Desmond Tutu and representatives of political parties and the broadcasting community.

    "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 the government and the entire South African population, our words of condolence to the Mbuli family, friends and the SABC."
