The mother of popular South African singer, songwriter and entertainer, Theuns Jordaan, has died. This comes almost two weeks after Jordaan passed away at the age of 50 after being diagnosed with leukemia last year.
A spokesperson for the family confirmed the news to Channel24, saying Maryna Jordaan died on Sunday morning, November 28. She was unable to make the trip from Bethulie in the Free State to attend her son’s burial due to her health, Netwerk24 adds.
This is a tragic loss for the Jordaan family, and further information will be provided at a later stage.
Earlier this month, social media was flooded with tributes as South Africa mourned the loss of a great talent. One Facebook user said “So sad. Sincere condolences to his family, friends and South Africans. A true legend. Rest in peace Theuns” while another said “Oh no. Deepest condolences to your family and friends. Your music will live on forever. RIP Theuns”.
