There was an emotional send off for media personality Kuli Roberts but the memorial service did not end well for poet Jessica Mbangeni who fell down while performing on stage.
While on stage, Jessica was looking fabulous with glamorous make-up on her face. She also wore a Xhosa traditional attire. Her Xhosa wear had multiple black and white layers, with tons of beads to complete it.
Her praise poetry was dedicated to the late media personality and she said,
“Nomakula Kuli Roberts, we will always remember you, for memories our heritage, it helps us to preserve our culture…”
When the praise poet was on the word ‘culture’, she fell to the floor..
Jessica did not stop her performance following the mishap and continued saying,
“Sustain our heritage and intelligence and maintain our traditional protocol.”

According to a close friend who spoke on condition of anonymity, Kuli Roberts was on set of her new show when she allegedly had a seizure and collapsed on the fateful day.
She reportedly arrived on set around 7pm where they were filming with other artists.
Kuli Roberts is said to have died a few minutes later.
Another friend revealed that Kuli Roberts was prepping to do a radio crossover on Wednesday night last week just before 2200hrs when she collapsed.
During the memorial service, her children Thembela and Leaun Roberts spoke on how supportive she was of them and their dreams.
As quoted by Timeslive Thembela said:
“My mother was supportive … who fully provided for her two children. She was supportive of everything we did … what we wanted to do and what sort of people she wanted us to be. She would move the moon and the stars if she thought it would help us succeed.”
