Thokozani ‘L’vovo Derrango’ Ndlovu discusses his health after having a stroke during a stage performance.
Derrango had a difficult 2022 after being hospitalized for months following a car accident.
The South African musician stated that he hasn’t been eating or sleeping well, but the death of his friend, Mampintsha, triggered him, as he learned of the news just before performing on stage.
“I was about to go on stage and his death just triggered me,” L’vovo tells ZiMoja.
“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.”
Speaking about his health, the singer said:
“I have high blood pressure and I have not been taking my medication the way I was supposed to.”
Lvovo plans to cater for himself and eat well.
“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.”
Thokozani spoke about his last visit to the late Gqom star.
“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 every day. 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,” he further revealed.
Lvovo has been discharged from the hospital and he is currently at home recovering.
