Twin Sisters Die Of Covid-19 A Day Apart.

The Langa community is in mourning following the death of well-known twins Phumla and Phumeza Lugulwana 45.

They both succumbed to Covid-19 complications within a few hours of each other.

Phumeza died last Wednesday and Phumla passed away the following day.

Phumla, who was asthmatic, was admitted to Somerset Hospital at the beginning of December.

Their heartbroken mother, Sindiswa, 70, says her daughters were very close and she had hoped they would get better.

Scores of people shared their heartfelt condolences on social media, with local international clothing brand MaXhosa Africa also sending its condolences as Phumla was one of their loyal patrons.
