        we will soon have plenty of deaths resulting from non-vaccination! I hope that the Govt has sufficient vaccines when the deaths start and the former anti-vaxers coming running for the vaccine!

    This is sad news, my deepest sympathy goes out to family, friends and love ones...However I do not wish, and would not like me or any of my family that die of natural causes to be reported on social media, Especially this quickly after death.. Let us rest privately, peacefully and quietly...its too late now to be popular, we never seek popularity in life, dont give us in death..We dont need it...

    This man was always friendly to me. May he RIP and his family and loved ones find comfort.
    For those in the comments using this as some sort of football to surmise whether his death was as a result of the virus or taking the vaccine, please, step back. The article clearly states that "had been ill with heart problems and was scheduled to travel to the USA to sustain a heart implant pacemaker". Instead of vaccine vs virus, ask yourselves why it is in 2021 folks still need to go abroad to install a pacemaker. Pacemakers BEEN around since 1958. Then step back again and ask yourselves how many aged people you know in this society who have one or more ailments and how they have been coping during the pandemic with postponed surgeries, closed borders and no commercial flights. There is a bigger issue at play here: stop looking at TeamVirus vs TeamVaccine and ask what is going on with our medical infrastructure.

    The news clearly stated that the man died of a heart attack due to heart problems.
    So right there you all can see it wasn't because of covid-19.
    We black folks just hate to read information properly.
    I knew him and he was a herd working and dedicated employee at Water and sewerage department.
    There is nothing wrong with announcing his death because not everyone listen to the radio daily, and at least his friends and relatives can attend to his funeral and show their respect.
    May his soul rest in peace.
