Thabiso hospitalised on Wednesday

The businesswoman and author was admitted to the hospital on 28 August when she fell sick.

Sikwane then sadly passed away on Saturday, 31 August, that same week. Thabiso was on her ex-husband DJ Fresh's show, What A Week, a YouTube podcast that she produced.

A saddened DJ Fresh shared that her cause of death is still to be determined, but Sikwane suffered a "cardiac event."

"I won't make a sombre video because that's not what Thabiso would expect of me or anyone else. This video is necessary because of our wild times with disinformation and fake news.

"We lost Thabiso [at about 06:30 on Saturday]. We're told it could've been a cardiac [arrest] event. But what would've caused it hasn't been ascertained. So, [the family is] awaiting a post-mortem [report] for clarity.
