South African music producer DJ Fresh has decided to continue performing at his scheduled gigs, despite the heartbreaking news of his ex-wife, Thabiso Sikwane’s passing.

Thabiso, who passed away on Saturday, August 31, 2024, was a significant figure in DJ Fresh’s life, and her death has deeply affected him and their family.

In a heartfelt revelation, DJ Fresh shared that he had a conversation with his elder son, Thato Sikwane, following the tragic news.

Thato encouraged his father to honour his mother’s memory by continuing with his planned performances, as this is what she would have wanted.

Thato’s words to his father were filled with wisdom and love.

“Dad, I hope that you are going to honour your gig bookings because that is what Mom would want. Just make sure you represent her, but please don’t cancel the bookings,” he urged.

His words resonated deeply with DJ Fresh, who understood the importance of fulfilling his son’s wish to keep Thabiso’s spirit alive through his music.

DJ Fresh took to social media to share his decision with his fans, explaining that he would not be cancelling any of his upcoming performances.

Instead, he would use each gig as an opportunity to honour Thabiso’s memory.

The gesture, he believes, aligns with what she would have wanted, a celebration of life, even in the face of loss.

Thabiso Sikwane was a beloved figure.

The couple had shared 20 years, and although they had parted ways, the respect and love they had for each other endured.

Each performance will be a tribute to her life, ensuring that her memory lives on in the music that she inspired and supported.

DJ Fresh’s resilience and dedication to honouring his late ex-wife have touched the hearts of many.
