Dj Amen reportedly started feeling ill two weeks ago whilst he was at work. According to DJ Amen’s close friend who spoke to Zimoja, the radio host was rushed to the hospital after struggling to speak and move.
“He started feeling ill at work, but I did not make sense of it until he couldn’t speak. Dj Amen was then rushed to the hospital, and doctors admitted him for a few days. He remained in medical care,” he said.
Dj Amen’s sudden death shocked his family and colleagues, considering the progress he had been making. Despite positive signs last week, gaining strength and showing resilience, news of his passing came as a shock.
“He was making steady progress at a Durban hospital. Things were looking good last week, he had gained strength again and fighting. We were shocked when we heard the news of his passing this morning,” the close friend revealed.
