The 24-year-old star pleaded for financial assistance in short video on August 14, where she also said she is afraid .
She said: “Today, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I’m afraid. Every time I get chance to think, I end up crying?
“How could this happen to me so fast without feeling or knowing anything.
“Right now, I’m so sick I need to ask someone to pass me the water bottle, which is right next to me.
“I’m 24, and tomorrow I need to undergo a life-changing operation followed by six months of chemo.”
On Sunday, August 20, her management updated fans of the latest developments via Greeff’s Instagram profile and announced that she died on Saturday, August 19, at a hospital in Pretoria.
The post thanked fans for the support and said Greeff had an emergency operation on August 15 and started chemotherapy on August 17.

On Monday, August 14, her management team started a BackaBuddy account to raise funds for her medical bills and managed to raised the amount required within 48 hours.
