44-year-old singer, songwriter, TV personality and first African Barbie, “Lira” Molapo, suffered a stroke last month. Her family shared a statement on social media which detailed her condition.
The incident happened in Germany whilst performing there. Her ability to communicate, particularly her speech, was implemented.
More than a month later, and to fans’ relief, Lira has returned to Instagram with an update. The statement reads:
“Thank you for your overwhelming love, support and prayers. I am recovering well. Physically I have been unaffected, I am strong and healthy. The stroke has unfortunately affected my speech, however I am making lots of progress every day. I will be taking some time to focus on my recovery. Please keep your prayers coming, I can’t wait to be back soon.”
The Mzanzi star signed off the post with #LetThereBeLight.
