Phyllis is one of my inspirations and precious icons in theatre, dance and art. She will live forever as an example of courage, charisma, talent, discipline and determination.

Phyllis, like a zephyr, entranced her audiences with her incredible talent. She brought so much joy to so many and will always have a place in the hearts of those who knew her.

May her beautiful soul dance in peace now. Another angel in heaven. Bless you Phyllie.

Phyllis was an inspiration in my life and I will always treasure my memories of the magic she created in my life as a young girl. Our ballet family is poorer with out her, but her legacy will live on in your work ...
- Megan Davey, Elkanah Dance Academy
She is a huge loss to us all – she gave so much of herself to the people of South Africa, and will be so sorely missed.
- Adele Serman
We pray that her spirit lives on to continue nurturing dance and dancers in South Africa for generations to come.

The dance world will be a poorer place without Phyllis and it is gratifying that her legacy will continue with Dance for All’s wonderful work.
- Louise van Riet
She was iconic to Cape Town and did so much for the dreams of those less fortunate. We wish her family and friends and indeed all at “Dance for All” comfort and peace at this time.

A terrible shock, as Phyllis was so beautiful, kind and talented. She gave so much - let her legend continue.
- Kate Smith
She will stay with us all for the rest of time, in the African culture they say that you live as long as you are remembered by others, well Phyllis will in that case outlive us all. Our deepest condolences.
- Julian Brandon and all the staff at the Hugo Naude Art Center, Worcester
Phvllis was a giant in her efforts to further the dancing spirit for 'all-comers' in Africa, and 'Dance for All' is a fitting tribute to her efforts, which is down to us all now to nourish and grow in memory of this wonderful person.
