Local Afrikaans singer’s son diagnosed with H1N1

Cape Town - South African singer Pieter Koen told Huisegenoot that his middle son – Jayden – was diagnosed with H1N1 or swine flu as it is more commonly known. 

The star told the Afrikaans magazine that he rushed his son to hospital after the 8-year-old complained of a sore throat and could hardly open his eyes. 

The child was then admitted to the hospital and recovered relatively quickly.

The singer added that though Jayden is now illness free but his eldest son Jouvan also battled with a bout of flu that was remedied quickly as well.
