 You were my rock, heartbroken Peggy Tsukumalo's tribute to husband Colin Eagwila. Peggy Tsukumalo, the wife of veteran broadcaster Colin Eagwila, sobbed as her moving letter to her husband was read out at his funeral in Impendal, Quasulunatal, on Saturday. Qumalo said penning the heartfelt tribute was the hardest thing she's ever had to do. Having to pen this final love letter to you my love, is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. You showed me the kind of love that dreams were made of. I rested in your arms knowing that for the first time in my life I had found a soulmate. Qumalo's painful cries could be heard as her tribute was read out. You were inspiring both in public and even more so in private. You were my rock, you were completely dedicated to our children in every way and their strength during the past few days is the best sign that I could have that you were here with us in spirit. Colin E my love we really did not get enough time together. Your cancer superseded our love, dreams and hopes. Qumalo told how she had even offered her organs in the hope that Guilla would get well. Your cancer was aggressive and brutal but Colin E, my love, you waged the biggest fight of your life. I even offered my organs. I told the doctors please take my liver, my organs because I just wanted my husband to get well. If somebody told me that me you would taken from us five years ago, I would still have fallen in love with you. I am grateful for every moment. Hundreds of mourners including government ministers, traditional leaders, television and radio personalities and his family gathered in Guilla's hometown to pay their final respects to him before he was laid to rest. Speaker after speaker stepped up to the podium to pay tribute to him including his daughters. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the SA flag was to fly at half-mast from Friday night in Quasulunatal in honor of Guilla, who died on November 1 after battling cancer. He was 44 years old. It was also announced that Guilla's funeral service had been declared a special provincial funeral category too. Radio and television personality and close friend Robert Merua officiated as the master of ceremonies. He recalled how Guilla told him he missed home while undergoing an experimental clinical trial in Israel. His brother Simo Guilla delivered the eulogy saying that his love for life and generous spirit made him an exceptional human being and that he was the pride of the family. Close friend Caroline Melindy paid tribute to Qumalo. There was not only one person fighting cancer in that family. Their years together were cut short. She his wife knew every tablet, every drip, every medication that went into his body. Colani and I used to laugh that the doctors were more afraid of her than the cancer. Omar Esak, Prometheus CEO, said, we will never forget his humility, his need to strongly fight for those who didn't have a voice. That's what always drove him. When the cancer got to him, he became a fighter for those who didn't have the same privilege that he had. Esak said Prometheus was committed to continuing Guilla's legacy in terms of the fight against cancer.
