Tributes continue to pour in for the lively housemate. According to Zimoja, her manager revealed that she was taken to the clinic after complaining about a fever.
“This happened so suddenly. She was fine and only complained of a fever. On Friday Dinky had a mild fever. Saturday, it became worse until her neighbours suggested they take her to the doctor. She was with her two-year-old son in her apartment in Kempton Park. We didn’t think it was anything serious, it was like any other fever with coughing and headaches. The neighbours also have kids, so they took him and he was playing with other kids, and they distracted him while taking her to the clinic,” said Bukhosi Heshu.
Heshu said it would be difficult to break the news to her son, “This is indeed a loss for her family and the entertainment industry. The son would visit the grandmother. Breaking the news to him will be very difficult. The family is still coming to terms with everything that’s happened, and we need to give them time,” Heshu concluded.

You know the fucked up part?
Dinky loved attention and was unapologetic about it.
Her trending right now … 🥰
But this was not the plan on how you keep your light shinning babes.
I mourn her passing but also jealous of how she lived her truth.
