She mentioned that they had been friends for 41 years, and she expressed her love for him.
"I met this lovely man when I was 18 years old. He welcomed me into a world I knew nothing about. He exposed me to music and rhythm that I fell in love with. He wrote and passed his matric in 2012 at the age of 60, not something I’d attempt! I was with him and his gloriously naughty spirit last week at the launch of something very special that’s happening on 14 June at Orlando Stadium. And realised just how incredibly lucky I am to have had a 41-year friendship with this remarkable man. Love you, Seeps @siphohotstix," she penned.

"That same man gave me a lift while hiking out of the south of joburg he picked me up next to the Turffontein race course. What a chat we had, he was an amazing person in the 30 minutes I got to know him. I will keep that day in my heart till the day I die."
