In a statement, the South African National Editors' Forum SANEF has expressed its profound sadness and extends heartfelt condolences on the passing of veteran SABC journalist Veronica Fourie, a deeply respected and much-loved figure in South Africa's media landscape.
Fourie passed away on Monday morning after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.
Fourie, who had been enjoying her retirement in Jeffreys Bay, passed away in an ambulance on her way to the hospital. Despite her illness, her family and friends remember her as a woman who faced her struggle with extraordinary grace, wisdom, and her signature slash of red lipstick.
