“My mother did in fact test positive for Covid-19 on the day of her passing, although this for me doesn’t mean she died of COVID-related complications but just that she tested positive for it,” Zondwa told the public broadcaster.
“There were several other tests done and those tests will give us further information on what could have led to her untimely death.”
