Prayers up. Journalist and TV Presenter, Kuli Roberts has died at the age of 49.
It has been confirmed by close friends and family that she passed on last night at around 10pm, just before she was scheduled to do an interview on radio.
Even though it was reported that she had collapsed, and while the rumours claim it was a heart attack, the cause of death has not been revealed yet.

Kuli Roberts also dabbled into acting, appearing on the popular Mzansi Magic telenovela, The Queen. Even though her acting chops did not impress the viewers, Kuli said she enjoyed her short stint on the show. Kuli recently starrd on a Netflix original film titled Angelina. She had also expressed that her next venture in the entertainment industry space would be to try her luck at being a club DJ.
With everything that Kuli Roberts has tried out careerwise, it came as no surprise to many when it was annouced that she was running for councillor in her ward under the African Transformation Movement (ATM) party. Kuli, however, came out guns blazing refuting the reports and making it clear that she was not a politician. She expressed how the lies about her joining politics also put a dent to her brand.
The family is yet to post anything on Kuli Robert’s death. Her equally famous sister, former Isidingo actress, Hlubi Mboya is still mum on the reports.
Kuli leaves behind two adult children, daughter, Tembela and son, Laeun who lives overseas.
