Chymamusique, real name Collen Ntala Mmotla, was involved in a car crash near Polokwane, South Africa, that killed his friend and fellow musician DJ Poizen, along with four other people.

Chymamusique survived with multiple injuries, underwent a craniotomy (brain surgery) and was later discharged from the hospital to continue his recovery at home, only to return a month later.

Sharing the devastating news on his Instagram story on Friday, November 7th, the DJ said he was "lost for words" as he reflected on the lengthy and painful journey of recovery and the immense courage required to face his ongoing medical ordeal.

As of 8 November, the DJ's strenuous physical recovery has included six complex surgeries - targeting his legs, arms, cheeks, jaws, muscles, and brain - with two more operations still scheduled for his teeth and knee before he can truly begin healing.
