As reported by DispatchLive, the former Umhlobo Wenene FM presenter Lulu Haarmans died shortly after being admitted in a hospital in Makhanda on Thursday evening.
Her brother Vusumzi Haarmans said the award-winning presenter was ill.
Haarmans, 41, was a popular presenter doing a mid-morning show called Khanya Gqiyazana.
“We took her to hospital at around 14h30 but few hours later she died. We are shattered and still coming to terms with these news. It’s not easy,” said Vusumzi.
Haarmans who was sacked by Mhlobo Wenene FM in 2019, was hired as one of the presenters of the newly launched online station Ilizwi FM.
