She died on Wednesday at the Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Ga-Rankuwa
Phalatse, who had a rare disease Progeria‚ made headlines when earlier this year, requested on her birthday to meet President Jacob Zuma. And her wishes were granted.
She was one of two South African girls living with a rare genetic condition that causes rapid ageing.
Zuma presented her with a bouquet of flowers and a birthday cake.
The presidency said at the time that the Jacob G Zuma Foundation would work with the Ontlametse Phalatse Trust to grant her other wishes‚ which included a home‚ transport and improved medical care.
Presidency had not issued a media statement at the time of publishing, since the President is celebrating his 75th birthday today.
It is expected the family will give details on her burial details.
Rest eternally in Peace Omphemetse -whose name means ‘the one who has been protected’.
