Monica Fairall died at the age of 60 after a battle with myeloma, a form of blood cancer.
There is a sad irony to this: she had held the hand of poet Douglas Livingstone through his losing battle with cancer in the 90s, after which she wrote a book about it, Challenge Cancer the Holistic Way.
Monica was a great supporter of KZN Literary Tourism, donating recordings of Livingstone to our digital archive and reading . She will be missed for her enthusiastic support of the arts in KwaZulu-Natal and for her informative and lively radio show.
