THE FUSE

It’s unimaginable that Maria McCloy isn’t there any more. Maria was always there. Generously so. At birthdays, weddings, funerals, parties, launches, art openings, shows, in the restaurants and on the streets, collecting people and artefacts as she went. She generated a seemingly endless stream of posts about her finds and her joy at Joburg’s cultural vibrancy. She was driven by her network of family and friends, her love of art and the key ingredient that makes a journalist: her curiosity about the world.
