Recently, it was reported that Big Nuz group member Mampintsha had been hospitalized after experiencing a stroke. Despite his best efforts over the course of several days, he ultimately succumbed to the illness.

At the same time that we were attempting to make sense of what had happened, reports emerged that L’vovo Derrango, a fellow Kwaito and KwaZulu-Natal-based artist, had a stroke on stage and was subsequently hospitalized.

DJ Kotini is reportedly also being brought to the hospital after he had a small stroke. Thokozani Zulu, better known by his stage name Tzozo, reports that other musicians Thokozani Ndlovu, better known as Lvovo, and Dj Kotini, who were also ill, are now doing well.
