South African Celebrities We Lost During Lockdown in 2020





South Africa is in another mourning period once again after we have lost another Celebrity, Mary Twala. 2020 is a year for everyone to remember worldwide and if it was possible, cancellation would be great so that we can start over again.

We are already halfway through the year, but many people have been through the most. Due to coronavirus and lockdown, many people have lost their loved ones and the worst part is that some are not allowed to view the remains of their loved ones due to the pandemic. Many people have lost their jobs whereas some have had their businesses close down.




The entertainment industry is not excluded from the pain and sufferings, countries have also suffered a major blow as some of our stars lose their lives in a very short space of time. The likes of Mary Twala, Vinolia Mashego of Jam Ally fame, Charles Maja of Skeem Saam are some of the stars we have sadly lost during lockdown. The saddest part of it all is fans and some colleagues not being able to bid these stars farewell because of the regulations we all have to adhere to.
