In a heartfelt Twitter post, Nqweni talked about contracting coronavirus along with his already existing battles against GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome), TB, liver and kidney failure. The unfortunate South African all-rounder had also spent four weeks in an induced coma in 2019. His grief was immediately acknowledged by former South African players like Wayne Parnell, who vowed to support his countryman during his fight against all the diseases.
Solo Nicholas Nqweni was disconsolate and sent out a tweet from Scotland that read:

Nqweni represented the South Africa Under-19s in the year 2012. Apart from playing franchise cricket for the Warriors, he has also been contracted by Eastern Province. He was playing as a professional cricketer at the Aberdeenshire Cricket Club in Scotland.
When the last reports came in from Herald Live, he was in the intensive care unit of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland.
