The latest figures are a huge increase from the six cases first reported in January.
According to state media, the Typhoid fever death was reported in the informal settlement of Hopley, west of the city.
Several other western suburbs have been affected and so far more than 400 suspected cases of the disease have been recorded.
Worryingly, the Herald is reporting that two cases of Typhoid fever were recorded last week at ‘KwaMereki’, a popular food outlet that had to be temporarily shut down during a Typhoid fever outbreak in 2012.
