I still can't believe he is gone. He was so eloquent, so compelling, so brilliant! At the peak of his career and at 41...he went too early. He will be terribly missed.

True - his enthusiasm was from every story was amazing. Almost crying myself when Armand Luaz broke down on BBC news early this morning covering this.
Rest In Peace big fella thoughts are with you & family & colleagues

[@CountryHouseGent]

I'd never heard of the man until his death. But I shed a tear when I came to realise what a beautiful and talented human being he was.
No one deserves to die at the age of 41.

Oh Komla! Never did I meet you in person but I am reeling in pain and sorrow knowing your demise. You truly represented all there is about Africa in wisdom, humility and selflessness. I followed your every program and I am missing you badly already. BBC without you is devoid of any African content. God richly protect your soul.brother! RIP!!!

My deepest condolence to Komla's family, it is a big lost worldwide. I was so shocked, couldn't believe the terrible news! What a Gentleman he truly was, just watching him from the screen one could sense his enthusiasm, humbleness and friendship with that unique smile. Thinking about God loving you to such a degree that He wanted you in His Kingdom. I miss you...
