\u201cHe has been battling liver complications for the past eight months. He died in a hospital in South Africa,\u201d Junior told\u00a0The New Times<\/em>\u00a0on the telephone.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Yanga has been suffering from serious diseases for half a century.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n He was in mid-2020 reported to have ‘miraculously’ won a battle against stage 4 stomach cancer three years after he\u00a0was diagnosed with a tumor in the stomach and was in 2017, given a transfer to go to South Africa for biopsy.<\/p>\n He arrived in South Africa and was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which was stage four.<\/p>\n Nkusi was prescribed medical treatment, including chemotherapy.

But he was forced to return to South Africa when the disease worsened again,\u201d Junior said of his brother who, he revealed, has been in a coma since Monday until he breathed his last on Wednesday.<\/p>\n According to him, the family is looking into arrangements to bring the body of their loved one so that they can be buried in their home country.<\/p>\n \u201cHis burial will take place in Rwanda. We are now in touch with Rwanda\u2019s High Commission to South\u00a0Africa so they can help us arrange the repatriation of his body,\u201d said Junior.<\/p>\n [email\u00a0protected]<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
