Bob Mabena, regretting that they didn’t share more time together.
As the world continues to mourn the death of the late Legendary Bob Mabena, Melanie Bala has penned a heartfelt goodbye to her dear friend stating they did not share more time together.
However, the memorial of the late radio and TV legend, Bob Mabena kicks off today.
He died of cardiac arrest at the age of 51.
Melanie was one of the people that most fans had in their thoughts, knowing how she and Bob were friends for decades.
She, however, expressed her heartbreak in an open letter.
“Waking up in a world without Bob is surreal,” she started.
Mel spoke about how Bob lived life to the fullest and chased every single dream he had, from the day they met up until the very last conversations they shared.
She spoke proudly about the kind man he was, and how he was driven by passion and excellence and always had her back.
“We were just two kids from Pretoria, who were having the time of our lives — it just happened to be on the biggest TV music show in the country. From appearances at tiny clubs in small towns, to filling up stadiums in cities, on television and radio, he always had my back.”
She added how shattered she was that he was now gone because, like many other people, she assumed that they still had time.
“I will miss you desperately. I’m eternally thankful we met and shared such a special journey, that you were unashamedly expressive enough to randomly text ‘I love you friend — no reason, just wanted you to know’. I knew. My mistake was I thought we had time,” Mel wrote.
