SAA hostess who brought South Africans home from Wuhan died of cancer and not Covid-19, says family

Supplied by familyIn a statement sent out by the SA National Defence Force on behalf of the family on Tuesday afternoon, it was confirmed that Tebatso Nakedi Ntshane died of cancer-related complications at a Pretoria hospital on Sunday.

Screen grabs of the post, which had since apparently been deleted, were trending on social media on Monday. "She was not a pilot, but a flight attendant on the team," he told TimesLIVE on Tuesday afternoon. He said the “fake news” about her death “did not sit well with the family”.
