This has been confirmed by her family and employer ENCA,
where Brown hosted the programme ‘The Fix’.
She was admitted to hospital after contracting coronavirus.
The family statement read: “It is with deep sadness that we inform the public
that our beloved sister and mother, Karima Brown, passed away this morning. She
died from COVID-19 related complications.”
“Karima was not just a prolific and well-known South
African journalist and commentator, with deep footprints in print and broadcast
media, but also and more importantly a well-loved friend, mentor, mother,
colleague, daughter, and confidante to countless people throughout a life lived
fully, and with a deep commitment to her most cherished values and principles.”
Brown will be laid to rest in a private burial ceremony
which will be held in accordance with Islamic rites and traditions.
A small number of invited persons will attend the funeral
and all COVID-19 regulations will be observed.
In due course, an announcement will be made about a more
public memorial service in honour of her life. -SABC News
