Fam,I'm touched at the passing of Sibusiso Radebe. Y'all would remember him as Vusi from Backstage. One of the greatest 'child stars' to have emerged in SA and a legend at his craft.

On a lighter note, South Africans tend to take the mickey out of any situation, and this makes it a beautiful country to live in.
