Fan-favourite radio personality Msizi James, who works opposite Anele Mdoda at Primedia has announced the death of his daughter.

The 947-radio star and his wife Angela James revealed on social this week that their baby girl passed away at 24 weeks.

James and his wife shared photos of their family at the hospital on social media this week.

The radio personality and his wife confirmed in a statement on their Instagram accounts on Thursday, 12 June that their daughter had died.

"It is with the heaviest, most broken hearts that we share the devastating news that our precious baby girl has passed away on 10 June 2025 at 24 weeks. There are no words to describe the emptiness she has left behind," said the radio personality.

James adds that the family is also grieving the life they imagined together with their late daughter.

"Watching her and Lincoln grow side by side and every moment we’ll never get to share," he adds.

"Coming Soon. From the people who brought you Lincoln James… comes a sequel. 'Meet the parents 2'. Out this Spring. Produced and directed by Angela and Msizi James. Psalm 127:3-5, 'children are a heritage from the Lord'. See you in September baby Girl," he wrote.
