This is so sweet ...I mean, I woke up this morning and found the whole South Africa celebrating Noxolo's unmatched role she'd played especially in Isixhosa news.. She made Xhosa language fashionable, and personally, I will always miss her #NoxoloGrootboom pic.twitter.com/4O7S1O2huO

In my career, I consider myself blessed to have once worked with the legendary #NoxoloGrootboom as a bulletin writer for the isiXhosa TV News. Always ready to affirm & share from her experience. Always affirming. She referred to us as “bantwana bam”& treated us as her own❤️ pic.twitter.com/U1gRIELFse
