After a three-year battle with anal cancer‚ South African
gay musician Koyo Bala surrendered to the battle at the
age of 36 around 9am on Monday at Groote Schuur
Hospital in Cape Town. He was part of pop gay trio
3Sum along with Jeff Moyo and Amstel Maboa.
They were popularly known in the entertainment industry
as activists for gay rights. In 2011‚ he disclosed that he
was HIV-positive to the country and in 2014 he was
diagnosed with anal cancer.
His last tweet about his illness reads: “I pray 2 God
everyday 2 help me pass this cancer #itshard #pains
#wontgiveup #canwinthisbattle #cantsleepofpains”.
Their bandmate Moyo died in 2010‚ reportedly from HIV/
Aids-related complications. Maboa is now the only
remaining member of the group.
