Simphiwe Dana reveals her mother has COVID-19
"I have faith she will pull through," says Simphiwe Dana about her mother's coronavirus diagnosis.
Simphiew Dana's family is praying for the speedy recovery of their matriarch.
The singer revealed on Instagram that her mother has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Simphiwe revealed that the retired nurse returned to the frontlines of the pandemic to lend a helping hand.
"My mother, seen here dancing with her little cancer patients, has been diagnosed with the corona virus. She is now a retired nurse who went back to work for an old age home because nursing to her is a calling," the 'Fireband' hitmaker wrote on Instagram.
Simphiwe added that her mother has diabetes - which puts her in one of the high-risk groups.
"She is recovering at home and seems to be ok. She has diabetes. Still, I have faith she will pull through."
Simphiwe begged her followers to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
"Now that we are starting to see Covid deaths of our close friends and families, I beg you to stop throwing the term herd immunity around. You are risking people’s lives. It is irresponsible."
