We know Volo shared his life with many people: friends, supporters, and fans,\u201d they shared.<\/p>\n<p>Messages of grief and admiration have poured in across social media, with many celebrating his tremendous impact on the Eastern Cape\u2019s creative landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Metro FM award-winning artist Betusile Mcinga described Volo Da Saint as far more than an entertainer, calling him a pillar of pride in the province due to his philanthropic efforts and collaborations aimed at uplifting communities.<\/p>\n<p>His close friend, DJ Mist SA, remembered him as a rare force of nature, bold, visionary, and deeply committed to transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou lived a full and purposeful life. You were a visionary and an exceptional risk-taker,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted how uncommon it was for someone to invest so heavily in a rural area, acknowledging the financial risks but applauding Volo\u2019s determination to elevate Bizana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you were determined to put Bizana on the national map, and you succeeded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DJ Mist also praised Volo\u2019s pioneering spirit, noting his role in bringing high-profile artists like AKA, Cassper Nyovest, Kabza De Small, and DJ Maphorisa to their community.<\/p>\n<p>Through his events, Volo created more than 100 temporary jobs annually, boosting tourism and breathing new life into Bizana\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>His influence extended beyond hosting artists. Volo Da Saint was the driving force behind the annual OR Tambo Homage Event, a major December celebration that had grown into one of the region\u2019s most anticipated entertainment fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s edition, slated for December 23 and featuring Dlala Thukzin, Kelvin Momo, Dumi Mkokstad, Mafikizolo, and Naledi Aphiwe, now stands as part of his enduring legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Tributes continue to underscore the depth of his contribution and the void his passing leaves behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour name will forever hold a prominent place in the historical records of both Bizana and the Eastern Cape,\u201d DJ Mist SA said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond friendship, we shared immense respect for each other, both professionally and artistically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Eastern #Cape #mourns #visionary #promoter #Volo #Saint #fatal #Durban #crash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Nkokheli \u201cVolo Da Saint\u201d Twabu The Eastern Cape entertainment scene has been plunged into mourning following the tragic death&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42075,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42074"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42076,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42074\/revisions\/42076"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
