Lerato Moipone Molapo is a South African born and bred veteran singer who has been in the entertainment industry for over two decades now. Born on the 14th of March in 1979, the 44-year-old pioneer of Afro Soul, R&B and Jazz has done a stellar job in her craft and she is constantly being fairly remunerated for it.

Popularly known as Lira because of her stage name, this phenomenal woman is one of the most loved women of South Africa because of her humility. In March of 2022, the South African award winning singer suffered a stroke while travelling in Germany to perform. Her ability to speak, write and read was heavily impacted and this became a threat to her music career because she could not perform anymore. Her beloved family kept on sharing developments regarding her health to her faithful fans. Lira was brought back in South Africa and she underwent treatment by the best medical team that was available during that time. Mzansi is currently exhilarated by the fact that their favourite artist is slowly but surely recovering after she had recently performed at various events. Born as a very strong woman who is not easily shaken by the uncomfortable circumstances of life, Lira has recently shared a video of herself and her team seemingly working on a good project as she is about to tell her story. On the caption of this particular video, Lira wrote a powerful statement saying “A stroke can’t take my fearless”. Below are snippets from the video she shared on Instagram.

1.2.3.4.5.Lira is definitely embodying the spirit of resilience in her which makes her to never allow a sickness to make her back down with what she stands for and what she believes in. With this storytelling, she wants to inspire other women that no matter what you may go through, you should continue pressing so hard to achieve your goals. This will help a lot of women to know that whenever you go through predicaments that may seem insurmountable, it is not the end of the world.
