L’VOVO OPENS UP ABOUT HIS STROKE 

L’vovo revealed to Zimoja that he was with Mampintsha the night before his death. The Big Nuz member passed away on 24 December after he too suffered a minor stroke.

“I went to go see him in the hospital on Thursday night. He was not okay, we believed that he would recover. I speak to Danger everyday. So, I spoke to him during the funeral. Mampintsha knows that I would have loved to be at his funeral. But due to my condition, I watched it from the hospital. But I will visit his grave after I have fully recovered. When I went to perform on Friday, after being with him on Thursday made me feel weak.”  

Furthermore, he revealed that the stroke occurred while he was on stage. He said started experiencing a sharp pain in his left arm and a loss of feeling on his left side.

“I was about to go on stage and his death just triggered me. I performed but got the attack before my second last song. I couldn’t feel my left side and I asked them If I could rest for a bit. I have high blood pressure and I have not been taking my medication the way I was supposed to.

“I know now not to rush to have too many gigs. I live better and take care of myself, especially with my condition.

“They gave me directions to avoid salty foods and a lot of meat. I was told which fruits to eat and what to avoid and obviously less alcohol.”
