Durban singer L'vovo has left Mzansi emotional after appearing on Gagasi FM's Sunday Devotion with Linda Sibiya, where he spoke openly about his stroke recovery and the painful season that followed. Fans watching the interview were immediately struck by how different the artist looks, and his raw, tear-filled honesty made the segment go viral.

Born Mthokozisi Khathi and widely known by his stage name Derrango, L'vovo rose to fame as one of South Africa's most recognisable voices in gqom and maskandi crossover music. He suffered from a stroke in 2022, which left him fighting for his life, and this interview marks one of his most candid public appearances since beginning his road to recovery.

L'vovo's Tearful Message of Faith

The Bayang'sukela struggled to hold back his emotions as he reflected on everything he had been through.

"I am getting emotional because I know where I come from and the hardships that I faced. I do not know how I got here, but my faith in God allowed me to be here today," he said.

He also addressed how quickly his inner circle shrank when he hit rock bottom. "I lived a nice life and had everything that I needed. But as soon as I lost everything, people started distancing themselves from me. But God said, "It is not over," he said, visibly moved.
