Seasoned broadcaster DJ Fresh is making headlines after he revealed that he wouldn’t be cancelling any of his scheduled gigs despite the sudden death of his ex-wife, Thabiso Sikwane.
DJ FRESH TO CONTINUE WITH HIS GIGS AMID THE DEATH OF HIS EX-WIFE
DJ Fresh’s ex-wife, Thabiso Sikwane, died on 31 August, aged 50. However, her cause of death is yet to be established, but DJ Fresh has since revealed that it could ‘have been a cardiac arrest.
Speaking to the media, DJ Fresh revealed that he talked with his eldest son, Thato Sikwane Jr, who told him to honour their mother in all his bookings since it is what Thabiso Sikwane would have wanted.
DJ Fresh revealed that Thato said to him, “Dad, I hope that you are going to honour your gig bookings because that is what Mom would want.
“Just make sure you represent her, but please don’t cancel the bookings. Just like she did when Wandy, our 15-year-old, was born. Wandy arrived a tad early, and I had booked in Durban.”
DJ Fresh said, “I remember being busy trying to cancel that booking, and in between that delivery, she [Thabiso] said to me that when this baby pops today, you will honour your bookings.”
With an illustrious career spanning years, DJ Fresh has quickly become one of the most sought-after DJs in South Africa.
He has headlined a host of shows worldwide and shared the stage with some of the greatest acts in the world, including DJ Black Coffee.
A few weeks ago, DJ Fresh was trending after his clip in Ibiza with the Grammy Award winner made rounds on the internet.
However, DJ Fresh’s decision to honour his gigs has since divided Mzansi. Some fans believe he should have rescheduled them to mourn his ex-wife.
However, others believe that if Thabiso had loved him to fulfil the gigs, there is nothing wrong since most of them were at night.
