Maps Maponyane has taken to his social media to pay tribute to a fan whose dream is to be part of The Make A Wish Foundation which grants wishes for cancer patients, was to meet his idol and interview him on his on radio show.
The passing away of the young man whose name is Kyle Nhlapo, also known as Kari Omar left Maps really heart broken as he took to his Instagram to share an emotional post: “ll never forget this day, and when I first met Kyle, aka @kari_omarr. I first found out about him when @5fm and @reach_for_a_dream told me about ambitious, and talented young man who had been fighting osteosarcoma (a cancer that produces immature bone) that was malignant in his knee. His one dream was to host his own radio show and to be able to interview me on it, so I happily obliged and we made it happen.”
Maps also shared a video of himself meeting Kyle for the first time and Kyle was really happy to see him stating it was a dream come true for him.
The star said ever since then, he had been in communication with him and was always made aware of charity drives which were helped to raise money for his treatment.
He concluded with, “Whenever I get to meet or talk to people that have encountered him, they have the most incredible things to say about him, he was the embodiment of positivity, and I just hope he realises the joy he brought to the lives of so many. Rest in Peace Kyle Nhlapo.”
