A year after Pearl Shongwe's death, her former colleague Tbo Touch shared a tribute to her. 

The Metro FM news anchor and Daily Thetha host died on November 8, shocking social media users.

On his timelines on Wednesday, Tbo Touch penned a heartfelt message to Pearl and shared images of fond memories they created together. 

"I remember getting a call from Phila at 5am ET, telling me that Pearl is gone. At first I thought you left the show, but when she cried, I just hung up the phone, left my hotel room and took a long walk.

"I don’t ever want to revisit that moment again. Fast-forward [and] it’s a year since you’re gone, and it’s still not the same! Miss you crazy Pearl, aka the number 1 freestyle co-host, slam dunk news anchor. Oh by the way, your show got two nominations at the radio awards! Till we meet again."

Meanwhile Ann Malinga also took to her timeline on Wednesday to pay tribute to her late husband, Robbie Malinga. 

"Happy Heavenly birthday Zindela Mlotshwa Gumakhuli," she captioned the post with the late singer's clan names.
