Milanie Bennett was one of first to administer SA's vaccines, including to President Cyril Ramaphosa in February
This week friends and relatives took to social media to pay tribute to the former insurance consultant after he died at a Cape Town hospital due to Covid-19 complications on Monday, leaving behind Milanie and their young son, Noah. He was 45.
His brother Darren Bennett said: “You're a brother, father, friend and more. You're special, one of a kind. Me knowing you and what u did in this life to help each and every one. Doesn't matter if u know him for a second. You're special and will always be remembered through your jokes, laughter, fast but small steps. I thank the Lord that He gave me an opportunity to have a brother, father, friend,” he wrote on Facebook.
“His son meant the world to him and he always posted his pictures on his social media page. Family was everything to him.” She was not immediately available to talk about her husband's death, but given her 25-year record as a nurse, she is well aware of the important role that vaccines play in combating serious diseases. “I am thankful for the vaccine and the role I play in administering it. We are now part of making history by fighting Covid-19 through the vaccine. The vaccine will save countless lives,” she said in February.
