In his post, Deon expressed heartfelt gratitude to the medical staff who cared for him and the people who supported him along the way:

“I want to thank all the doctors, nurses (sisters), and staff here in South Africa at Christiaan Barnard Hospital and my doctor in the States, THANK YOU. I also want to thank my network BET, the cast and crew of Average Joe for delaying production and patiently supporting me. It means the world to me.”

We continue to keep Deon in our thoughts and prayers and wish him a full and speedy recovery!
