Kwaito superstar L'vovo Derrango was involved in a near-fatal car accident last month. He was recently released from ICU and revealed that he is recovering at home. He received a lot of supportive messages from fans and he returned the favour by sending out a sweet message.
The head-on collision with a truck took place in his hometown, Newcastle. He said he was traveling alone that night and was then in a situation he could not avoid.
Thanking his fans he wrote, “I want to take this moment and let you know how much you are appreciated. You are all true angels to me, and I'm more grateful to you than words can express.”
"I thank you for your kindness and for being the wonderful and amazing people that you are. I am blessed to have you in my life."
He then thanked God and his ancestors and asked them to continue to watch over him.
At the time he was in the hospital, he told Sunday World that the impact was so bad he could have lost his life, but thankfully survived.
“I am in the hospital right now, but I am getting better. I thank God and my ancestors that I survived the accident. I could have died based on the impact that had happened. I thank my lucky stars that I came out alive, as others do not survive such accidents.”
In another interview with Isolezwe he revealed that he had badly injured his hip, making it difficult for him to walk. So he is then tasked to learn how to walk.
“The problem is that I injured my hip, so walking has been very challenging. But doctors have inserted a pediatric hip plate to help this area to heal, what is left now is for me to walk again. I have started attending classes that will help me to walk and I was removed from the ICU on Wednesday.”
Producer Prince Benza and his team also survived a crash. He took to social media and wrote, "That's why bare every day (be grateful for being alive) . I never thought one day I'll be in this kinda situation. I was involved in a car accident today, but I'm fine. I need space for now. Please pray for my boy Major the boss and for my team," he wrote.
