Mpumalanga-based seasoned journalist Tom Nkosi, founder of Ziwaphi newspapers said, “Lubisi
is undoubtedly one of the pioneers of investigative journalism in Mpumalanga, from his days as a journalist at African Eye News Service. Thus, it was not an accident that the leading newspaper such as City Press spotted his talents so that he could serve an even bigger audience.
His meteoric rise from the humble beginnings in the dusty streets of Matsulu to being the executive director at one of the country’s leading newspapers is a clear demonstration that, given the opportunity, the people of Mpumalanga have a lot to offer to our country at large.
His untimely departure leaves not only the journalism profession poorer, but our country has lost one of its most valuable assets and we dip our banner in honour of this humble son of the soil.
I wish to convey my sincere condolences to Lubisi’s family, in particular his young children, his colleagues and friends. May he rest in peace,” concluded Nkosi.
