Grief is really such a strange thing to experience. It's true what they say that 'Time heals all wounds', but the death of Johnny Clegg has left South Africans reeling.
Clegg died at the age of 66 from a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Celebrities, personalities, fans, and loved-ones came out in their numbers to pay tribute to the music legend. The messages that came from them really inspired and moved me to tears.
