Her family, who are deeply thankful for the immense support from across the nation over the past few days, have planned a small intimate gathering for her send off.
Friends and media are invited to a public Memorial / Celebration of Dr Sindi van Zyl this weekend.
Zimbabwean born but SA based Dr Sindi was a physician and Radio DJ known for using social media to share HIV-related, mental health and other medical information.
Two weeks ago the family of popular doctor and health activist Dr Sindi came out with a plea.
She had been in hospital for two months after being felled by complications from Covid, and the bill for her stay had reached a staggering R2m.
Family and friends organised a crowdfunding drive. Within a few days, more than R1m had been raised. Then, on Saturday, the family announced that she had died…
She was (45) and leaves behind her husband and two young children.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the ceremony will be live-streamed.
Virtual memorial service for the late Dr Van Zyl:
Date: Saturday, 17th April 2020
Time: 6pm till late
Live-streamed via Kaya FM social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and YouTUBE)
