We were hopeful and always knew the gravity of the situation. From February to June this year, Xolani took part in a world-first clinical trial in Israel. His medical team has been amazing, and we have enormous admiration for the work they are doing in advancing cancer treatment.

“While the miracle did not materialize, these last few months have been precious and we are eternally grateful that Xolani has been able to spend them with us as a family this journey has made our family much stronger and has brought us together.”
To all the people who have grown to love Xolani, thank you for your compassion and prayers. We know you will respect our privacy in what is a devastating time for us all. To the medical teams lead by Dr. Ormondi Ogude and Dr. Thomas Marumo thank you for believing and going an extra mile in your medical search to preserve Xolani’s life.

“To the nursing staff at the Sandton Oncology, Morningside Clinic and Donald Gordon your commitment, care and support was unwavering and we thank you for serving our hero with profound respect and kindness. May your professionalism and excellence continue to touch many South Africans.
