Tributes came in pouring for Dr Sindi and Nellie, however, what made Dr Sindi’s passing final was her Twitter page tweeting tor the last time. In a thread, the page tweeted, “The Dutchess of Healing, Dr Sindi Van Zyl, is now truly at rest. Dr. Sindi passed away on Saturday morning, the 10th April 2021. She has been a beacon of love and light, a beautiful soul who loved and gave endlessly with grace and kindness. She modelled the love and grace that she knew in Jesus. The family humbly thank everyone who stood together with them recently to help raise funds for Sindi’s hospital bill, as well as in prayer, love and support. She leaves behind her dear husband Marinus and beautiful kids, Nandi and Manie. She also leaves behind an incredible legacy in the medical support and advice she offered to those around her. A Foundation to continue to support the causes that Sindi so passionately believed in and lived out will be announced in due course. Sindi requested that we don’t post any personal goodbye messages she sent to those close to her. The one thing she prided herself with was that people from anywhere and everywhere were able to share their deepest thoughts with her. We are deeply thankful for all the personal messages of love and support. With love, The Van Zyl Family”.
