‘In 2005, around the Easter Holidays – I took a very brave decision. I took a City to City bus and came to Johannesburg. I had no money, no clear plan and no plan B. I only had a dream – a dream of being on Television. And boy, what a rollercoaster of a journey it has been…How do I say goodbye to a city that made me who I am today. A city that introduced me to your lounges every Tuesday 6pm. Kodwa ke – okungapheli kuyahlola. Nothing really lasts forever” he wrote.

Luyanda describes the departure as the end of an era but however he takes pride in the legacy he has made for his children and thank the rough and tumble city for shaping the man he is today .
“This is to the 16 years of faith, disappointments, ups & downs, perseverance, dreams, achievements, fulfillments , history, blessings, grace & completion… 🥂I close the Johannesburg chapter a proud man — having fulfilled my dreams. My head is held high. My kids will know that – daddy dreamt, daddy believed, daddy acted, daddy soldiered-on and daddy achieved!What a journey. What a chapter. What an era.Time may pass – but the MEMORIES will remain forever. ✍️And that’s how we end it. This is the END! Thank you Johannesburg! Thank you GP” he wrote.
