Johannesburg – June Steenkamp, mother of the late Reeva Steenkamp, suffered a stroke on Monday and is recovering in a government hospital.
The Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation announced in a social media update that June Steenkamp suffered a stroke on Monday, 1 September.
She is currently receiving treatment at a public hospital, but financial support is being sought to assist with her medical needs.
“She is facing a long road to recovery, and in need of considerable rehabilitation. To ensure June gets the necessary care and treatment, a fund has been set up for her care and rehabilitation. All payments will be approved by two independent attorneys and will be audited,” family friend and Reeva Steenkamp Foundation CEO Tania Koen said.
