The news comes as a surprise as just 10 days ago, on December 2, Drotské's wife Marzanne said the former rugby player was "100%, apart from low blood pressure".
Drotské was shot three times during a robbery on November 29 at his brother Tinus’s smallholding in Kameeldrift, Pretoria. He was shot in the right side of the chest, stomach and right arm.
He was with former Springbok and Cheetahs teammate Os du Randt, Tinus and Tinus’s three children when four men barged into the house at 9.15pm.
Drotské played 26 tests for the Springboks and was a member of the Rugby World Cup winning team in 1995.
