✝️ RIP Tribute: Tracey‑Lee Dorny
I am deeply saddened to share the loss of my dear friend and fellow activist Tracey‑Lee Dorny, following the announcement on her Facebook timeline today. After a courageous battle with illness, she passed peacefully at home at 2:22 pm, surrounded by her family and her beloved animals. She is now free from pain and resting in peace and can leave this earth knowing that she made her mark and was on the side of truth in a fight for justice.
Tracey‑Lee was a beautiful lady inside and out. I first heard from her many years ago when she reached out to me about her own health struggles. Like me, she had experienced breast cancer and believed that her illness was connected with living near a telecommunications mast. Tracey‑Lee shared with me how her life had been deeply affected by a mast that was erected very close to her home in Fourways, Johannesburg. She and her family experienced severe symptoms following activation of the mast, and at one point had to leave their home for a period of time until the mast was removed after sustained community pressure. Her experience became a defining moment in her life and in her commitment to advocacy.(witness.co.za)
She was full of determination with a heart of gold. I encouraged her to establish the EM Radiation Research Trust South Africa, so that her work could mirror the mission of our charity in the United Kingdom. Through this organisation she became a tireless voice for communities across South Africa, raising awareness about health concerns related to wireless technologies, phone masts, Wi‑Fi and 5G. She believed passionately that people should have a say in what infrastructure is placed near their homes and that communities deserve transparency and respect. (citizen.co.za)
Even in the midst of her illness, Tracey‑Lee remained committed to speaking out for others. Her symptoms worsened following the activation of 5G, and she observed that others around her, including her pets, were also suffering. In one message she said to me, “If I die suddenly please make sure the connection is 5G on all platforms.” I want to honour her request here, not to stir controversy, but to reflect what mattered deeply to her and to acknowledge the urgency she felt to be heard.
Tracey‑Lee’s courage, her compassion and her commitment to community touched many lives. She stood for what she believed in and she worked to give voice to those who felt unheard. Her legacy will live on through all who knew her and through the ongoing work of the communities she inspired.
Rest in peace in the arms of the angels, dear Tracey‑Lee. Your spirit will continue to inspire and your work will not be forgotten. God Bless 💔🙏✝️
Our heartfelt condolences go to her family, friends, and all who loved and worked alongside her.
With love and respect,
