DJ Fresh mourns the passing of ex-wife and broadcaster Thabiso Sikwane
“We lost Thabiso this morning around 6:30 am. It might have been a cardiac event, but the cause hasn't been confirmed. We’ll share more details after the postmortem,” he said.
Sikwane, 50, began her broadcasting career at Voice of Soweto and went on to work with YFM, Kaya FM, SAFM, and Power FM.
She also authored a children's book, Modimo o a go rata ("God Loves You"), to remind children that they are precious and loved by God.
Friends and colleagues shared their memories:
��
I went to high school with Thabiso at Phuthing. When I was in first year it was Thabiso who took me to my first studio where destiny held my hand as I recorded the song Vester ( ngab’uzobuya nini na)
I am so shocked by her passing. Rest in peace ntombazane. #RIPThabisoSikwane
