Working on the funeral of former president Nelson Mandela was one of the most emotionally draining and sad events I have ever covered, but it was also the most rewarding career highlight of my life!
Helping to build Ourmadiba.com and live blogging every second of his funeral kept me connected to his spirit in a way that I will not forget.
I did get to do some traditional reporting, too and one of my contributions includes this piece which is so me; this is my musical tribute to Madiba.
