Renowned South African gospel artist Hlengiwe Mhlaba faced an unexpected setback when she allegedly suffered a leg injury just hours before her highly anticipated performance. Mhlaba was set to participate in the Ungazibulali Campaign, an event focused on mental health and combating mental illness. Her presence was eagerly awaited, as she was expected to deliver a talk on these important topics.

 

 

 

However, fate took an unfortunate turn for the “Dwala Lami” hitmaker. On the day of her performance in Sandton, she reportedly suffered a broken leg. According to sources, Mhlaba missed a step, resulting in an ankle injury that initially appeared less severe. She continued with the event until her pain escalated and her leg began to swell, at which point she was rushed to the emergency room.

It was discovered that the injury was more serious than initially thought, prompting a small operation. Despite Mhlaba’s absence due to her hospitalization, the event continued as planned. Notably, prominent figures like ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula were also missing due to unforeseen commitments.

Despite the absence of Hlengiwe Mhlaba and other figures, the event managed to maintain its momentum. The notable turnout and strong performances, along with Somizi’s skilled hosting as the MC, contributed to the success of the occasion. While many attendees were undoubtedly looking forward to experiencing Mhlaba’s presence live, the event showcased the resilience of organizers and performers in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.

As Mhlaba recovers from her injury, her fans remain hopeful for her swift return to the stage. This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of live events and the resilience of both performers and audiences in navigating unexpected challenges.
