Kwaito artist Lvovo is embarking on a 5-day walk from Newcastle to Durban, KwaZulu-Natal for stroke awareness.

Lvovo Derango who suffered a stroke in December last year, seeks to raise funds through the walk for his medical treatment.

 

 

 

 

In partnership with the eThekwini Municipality, and the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Health Department, Lvovo was appointed as an outstanding member to support Zulu-Natal Health Awareness of strokes.

The 40-year old, suffered a stroke while he was on-stage busy with a performance, a day before Big Nuz member and fellow artist Mampintsha died after suffering two strokes.

Lvovo shared his plans to have a series of events to raise awareness for strokes.

“The wheels of the revolutionary movement are greased up and ready to roll.

History has been recorded on 22 September 2023 when Kwaito musician Lvovo Derrango was appointed as an outstanding member to support KwaZulu-Natal Health Awareness.

State Health Minister Nomagugu Simelane welcomed Lvovo Derrango as a plea for Health Door at an event in Durban.

The legendary song “Bayangsukela” will have a series of events where we raise awareness about this disease in collaboration with Zulu-Natali Health Center.”
Due to his health the artist would only be able to complete 2km of the 5-day walk, and says his team and others in support of the walk will be carrying out the full walk.

Lvovo says the general misconception is that strokes only affect old people, but says this is not true and anyone can suffer a stroke.

Last year singer Lira also suffered a stroke, which affected her ability to speak, read and write.

Lira has since made incredible progress, and performed for the first time since suffering her stroke earlier this month.
