News24 has spoken to various sources who have indicated that Nakedi Tebatso Ntshane has not died of coronavirus-related causes, nor was she a pilot during the repatriation.
Social media posts that an SAA pilot – who was part of the crew responsible for the repatriation of 112 South Africans from Wuhan in China to South Africa on 14 March – has died of Covid-19, are untrue.
The post was screen-grabbed and retweeted several times on Twitter since Monday, leading to a trend on Twitter by Tuesday morning. “We find it unfortunate and insensitive that some individuals made it their business to spread false information about the cause of Tebatso’s death. Claims that she died from Covid-19-related complications are untrue as they are not clinically and medically supported.”
