Just months after making waves in the Lekompo music scene, rising singer Female June has found herself fighting a battle she never saw coming. The Limpopo artist, born Mmanoko Francina Seabela, says an unexplained medical condition has left her unable to walk, forcing her to put her fast-growing career on hold while she searches for answers and focuses on healing.

A breakthrough interrupted

In a report by IOL Female June's passion for music began in her childhood in Ga Matlala near Polokwane, where she spent hours singing instead of playing with other children. Inspired by artists such as Makhadzi, Shandesh, Candy Tsa Mandebele and Kharishma, she started recording music in 2020 before eventually releasing her debut single, Chomi Tsaka.

Health scare changes everything

The publication also stated that the singer revealed that she woke up on the day she was due to record new music with severe pain and swelling in one of her legs. The condition became so serious that she could not stand, leaving her shocked and forcing her to cancel plans for her upcoming release.

Although she sought medical treatment immediately, doctors have not yet determined what caused the sudden swelling. The uncertainty, she admitted, has been one of the hardest parts of her journey as she takes recovery one day at a time.
