Leon Botha, aka DJ Solarize, Dies At Age 26

Painter and musical performer Leon Botha, best known for featuring in the music video of Die Antwoord’s ‘Enter The Ninja’, passed away on Sunday, one day after celebrating his 26th birthday. Botha was diagnosed at an early age with progeria, which lowers life expectancy drastically. Despite this, he lived a longer and fuller life than most thought possible.

Botha first became associated with Die Antwoord as an opening DJ for their local concerts, before being featured in the wildly popular ‘Enter the Ninja’ music video. He was also a talented photographer and painter. His work remains viewable on his flickr stream.
