SIMPHIWE DANA MOURNS DEATH OF HER MOTHER

Musician Simphiwe Dana has announced that her mother has sadly passed away. The musician did not reveal much about her mother’s passing and what caused her death.

The Bamako hitmaker is left heartbroken but grateful at the same time for her mother’s grace that was instilled in her and her siblings. Dana’s mother was a COVID-19 patient and had a comorbidity, this according to the songstress. She had diabetes but was handling the virus well.

Our wonderful mother, MamJoli, left us earlier today. We are wounded, but grateful for the grace with which she raised us and all her other adopted children. Please hold us in prayer,” she pleaded.

In June last year, Dana revealed that she was battling COVID-19 but was taking care at her home. She was a retired nurse who did not want to let go of her calling as she went back to work at an old age home.

In her comments section are people consoling her and sending their heartfelt condolences:
