His wife Rozanne will remain in Mbombela until she finds a job.
“I am enjoying spending time with him now. He is my rock. I will miss him when he is gone,” she said.
For the performance at The Pub on Friday night, Peyper played blues and soul.
“Nothing too loud, nothing too soft. Music for the soul,” he explained. He played Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as some of his own songs.
Xander Smuts, attending with his father Bertus, said he was looking forward to the performance. “My coach, Al Loxton, is the bassist playing tonight.”
