On Saturday 6 August radio and TV presenter Jeremy Mansfield shocked South Africa when he announced that his cancer had advanced to stage 4 and is now terminal. This comes after the former Talk 702 presenter beat leukaemia 13 years ago.
Following the news, fans and colleagues have sent many heartfelt messages and well wishes. But, one unidentified man took things a bit too far on Wednesday 10 August when he pretended to be Mansfield’s brother in an attempt to see him while he is undergoing palliative care.
STALKER PRETENDS TO BE JEREMY MANSFIELD’S BROTHER
Author Samantha Cowen took to her social media to request that no one pretends to be Mansfield’s family to see him.
“Please don’t go to the hospital randomly and pretend you are Jeremy’s brother and ask to see him. Yes, this happened today. Yes really,” she wrote.
On a brighter note, Cowen said that Mansfield was resting and will hopefully have a good birthday weekend. He will be turning 63 on Monday 15 August.
“In other happier news he is resting comfortably and we are hoping for him to have a peaceful and loving birthday weekend,” Cowen added.

RADIO LEGEND HAS STAGE 4 LIVER CANCER
In a heartbreaking post on Saturday, Jeremy Mansfield made the announcement that his liver cancer had advanced to stage 4 adding that he will be undergoing palliative care.
“This dream team (as I now refer to them) will not guide me through how to have as much fun in the time I have left and fulfill as many dreams, big and small, I have on my bucket list.
“A new journey for Kari and the rest of our families starts today,” he explained.
This is after he revealed earlier this year that he was hospitalised for two months as he was not feeling 100%. At the time, he was told he’s got some form of liver cancer and doctors discovered a growth on his spine which had to be removed in two painful spinal operations.
