“I saw Tshidi less than two weeks ago… she was her usual bubbly self... She had planned to go away, take a break because it's been such a busy news cycle… She was supposed to come back.”

Tshidi Madia. Always knew the play before it was played. She will be sorely missed by everyone at Primedia. She was literally the companies pillar. Politically and socially. Nje man. She was just a team player. Her wins were our wins and boy did she win.

I will miss our open and robust conversations (not about politics but about life).
And her laugh.
May her soul rest in peace.
Condolences to all her friends and family xxxx https://t.co/nr2Yp1MgQv
