Rethabile Potsane, known as "Dinkybliss" died on Sunday morning in a Hillbrow clinic after she was rushed to hospital by neighbours, two days after she fell ill and her health dramatically deteriorated to the point where she could no longer walk, eat, or talk properly.
Rethabile Potsane was 29.
Bukhosi Heshu-Ngcingolo, manager of the former Big Brother Mzansi contestant, in a statement, announced her death and said the 29-year-old died at Hillbrow Clinic on Sunday morning.
The cause of Rethabile Potsane's death is not yet known, although she fell ill on Friday with a fever.
Rethabile Potsane's condition became worse later on Friday, and her health deteriorated even further on Saturday. On Saturday Dinkybliss could no longer walk or eat, and struggled to talk properly.
"It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Rethabile Potsane, also known as Dinkybliss, has passed away in the early hours of Sunday at Hillbrow Clinic," says Bukhosi Heshu-Ngcingolo in the statement.
"At the moment the family is still shocked and grieving."

"Mzansi Magic is saddened to hear of the passing of one of the Big Brother Mzansi season 3 contestants, Rethabile 'Dinkybliss' Potsane. Dinkybliss captured the hearts of many South Africans with her outgoing and vibrant personality on the show that solidified her standing as a mover and shaker."
