Da L.E.S reportedly stalls Jozi reunion

South African hip hop group, Jozi, is said to have been in talks to reunite.

The group, which consisted of Da L.E.S, Bongani Fassie, Ishmael and Crazy Lu, broke out in the mid-2000s and pioneered the local rap scene before their unexpected split and rumoured beef that apparently stretched over a decade.

According to ZiMoja, the What's With Da Attitude hitmakers had a dispute over money, leading to their disbandment. This was later followed by Crazy Lu's untimely passing in 2019.

The publication reports that the remaining bandmates planned a reunion performance at the Made in Mzansi Festival in September 2024. Sadly, that may not happen after Da L.E.S suffered a stroke and remains in critical condition.

Moreover, Ishmael is apparently still keen to perform at the festival regardless of the circumstances, while Bongz, who many hope will one day make his comeback, told Briefly News that he is still active:

"I've never left music; I can't say that I intend to return when I never left. I'm active behind the scenes."
