Gauteng Covid-19 death: talented ad man, writer, artist who loved God

This is how Krugersdorp pastor Jannie Pelser described 79-year-old Louis Wilsenach, who died on Monday at a private hospital on Gauteng's West Rand, becoming the province's first Covid-19 death. Wilsenach's family confirmed his death on social media, where tributes were subsequently posted.

It's believed that Wilsenach contracted the disease in March after taking a flight back to Johannesburg from George. “He was an extremely interesting guy. His appearance and everything about him was unique. He was a very religious man who spoke boldly about his love for God. He was definitely one in a million,” Pelser told TimesLIVE on Wednesday morning.He said Wilsenach was also a writer and artist. Wilsenach wrote the Afrikaans bookPelser said they met years ago through church groups and he later interviewed him on Radio Kansel where he works as a presenter.

Sorry 😢

RIP 🙏
