The musician L’vovo made headlines in December when he too was hospitalised due to a stroke days after Mampintsha, who was laid to rest on Friday, 30 December.

Mampintsha suffered a stroke during a performance and died after being admitted to Durdoc Hospital in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal.

 

 

 

ZiMoja reports that L’vovo was discharged from the hospital on Friday, 30 December, and couldn’t attend his friend Mmapintsha’s funeral.

The star also reveals that he was with the late Big Nuz member Mampintsha the night before he died.

“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.” L’VOVO OPENS UP ABOUT HIS STROKE
L’vovo also tells Zimoja that he was attacked by a sharp pain in his left arm and lost sense on his left-hand side.

The stroke occurred while he was performing at Ndwendwe Music Festival on 23 December 2022. He was about to go on stage when he heard about Mampintsha’s death.

“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.”
