Tributes are still pouring in for much-loved medical doctor and radio host Sindi van Zyl who over the weekend lost her battle against Covid-19. The 45-year-old has been on a ventilator for a while, with her condition having sparked a public outpouring of support. She touched many lives to such an extent that South Africans contributed more than a-million-RAND to a fund-raising campaign to settle her mounting medical bills. She is survived by her husband Marinus and their children Nandi and Manie.
