The Afrikaans singer and TV presenter Nádine Hoffeldt has also tested positive for Covid-19 as a third wave of the global coronavirus pandemic, fuelled by the more contagious Delta-variant, is devastating lives in South Africa.
On her official Facebook page, the singer said that "and so I become a part of the statistics. Overnight. Never has the word positive been so negative. Two nights already of body aches and extreme headaches, especially in my hands. Strange how Covid attack everyone in a different way".
Nádine who just launched her own branded range of leather handbags and shoes is also the presenter of the Afrikaans game show Musiek Roulette, produced by Stemmburg TV, on SABC2 on Thursday nights.
On his Facebook page, Johan Stemmet in Afrikaans wrote that "too many colleagues, friends and insider friends are now getting the virus. Johan van Rensburg and Rina Hugo are through deep waters but are thankfully getting better. Media friends not through yet - Amore Bekker, Etienne Ludick, Lydia Winchester, Schalk Bezuidenhout - I don't even want to start going through the list."
"There are too name names, hopelessly too many". He said that his heart "isn't lekker over Nádine".
He said he got the message that Nádine now had Covid-19 as well. "Two weeks ago we still worked on new recordings of Musiek Roulette. Covid now also got her and she's very ill. She's suffering terribly. Every day's news heralds the new numbers. Too many, hopelessly too many."
He said that his heart "isn't lekker over Nádine".
