Magesh died on Monday at the age of 45.
And his sister, Kutloano, spoke to Daily Sun about what led to his death.
"After his car accident in 2001, he suffered a severe brain injury and trauma. One of the things that came from that were epileptic seizures, but he was managing them. He was undergoing treatment and we had adjusted. However, they became worse in recent months and occurred frequently. He was fine days leading up to his death. He had not had a seizure in a while until Monday."
