!!! Tragic, terrible news ...Top Billing's Simba Mhere died in a car accident this morning.

It seems impossible but it's true. Here's a report about it on Eyewitness News.

It's such unbelievably shocking and awful news.

He was so full of life and such a genuinely cool guy. The way he hit the entertainment scene was so brilliant too - over time he proved that he really, really deserved to win the Top Billing Talent Search when he did.

As a tribute to him, here's an interview I did with him when he won the competition in 2010: The TVSA Interview: Simba Mhere

Simba with Isidingo's Michaella Russell at the SABC Upfronts in November 2014.

Sending out heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and everyone at Top Billing.

RIP Simba

It's very sad yazi Tashi. Apparently Top Billing crew left the met yesterday after they heard the news. It's very sad. We lost a great soul and talent

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard on the 947 News... So young, so strong and healthy... and the weirdest thing the special show they had kinda going down memory lane on TB on Thursday! How freaky is that?

That Polo driver definitely deserves a death sentence... killing so many people....
And to hear that Simba requested to change his flight from Friday to Saturday... then this happens.

Dear God! How can there be so much pain so early in the yr?

Yeah!!!! Rest in Peace Simba.

His friend was a Kady-Shay O’Bryan - a blogger - from the sounds of it she was going to the Met with him.
