We grew up watching her on Jam alley and she never disappointed us. I remember seeing her back on TV after a long break, I said to myself, if you are born to be a star, no one can take that away from you. Vinolia Mashego played her part in the entertainment industry. 😢 pic.twitter.com/s0AQhMJpGF

When i was beginning to grow up and started being cosy with TV i used to watch Vinolia Mashego and Jub jub as a co-host of Jam Alley back in the 90s if not 80s before the rest of the Nestum and Sphiwe Mtshali, Twasa and the rest. During those days TV was black and white.
